Steelers Stock Watch – DL Yahya Black

Player: DL Yahya Black

Stock Value: Up

Reasoning: Since the Steelers drafted Yahya Black, they have also released Montravius Adams, opening more potential doors for the rookie. While they talked about him as a four-tech immediately after drafting him, the release of Adams suggests otherwise. Really, other than Montravius Adams, he is the only one with the body to play one-tech. The departure of the veteran gives Black the opportunity to display more versatility, thus giving him a better chance to secure a roster spot.

If the Steelers really initially envisioned Yahya Black as a four-tech primarily, then their post-draft view seemed to change rapidly.
