Many say the NFL is a copycat league.

The Steelers may have proven that with their top selections in this past weekend’s draft.

The Steelers were beaten at home by the Jacksonville Jaguars twice last season, including once in the playoffs, and now all of a sudden the Steelers look more like the Jaguars.

I guess if you can’t beat them, at least you can try and be like them.

Both teams have physical defenses, but on offense the Jaguars utilized a dual running threat in Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew along with tall receivers and an athletic quarterback in David Garrard.

The Steelers now appear to have that same luxury at running back with the pick of Rashard Mendenhall to pair with Willie Parker, they have their tall receiver with second selection Limas Sweed, and although fifth pick Dennis Dixon won’t be starting at quarterback anytime soon, his athleticism at QB could be used in certain situations.
