Round 3: Steelers select Dri Archer, RB Kent State

With their pick in the third round, the Steelers select Kent State running back Dri Archer.

Huh? Running back?

Where is our CB? This makes no sense to me. Why a RB when we have Bell and Blount. I don't watch college football so I'll ask this question: was he the BEST AVAILABLE player?

I don't watch college football either.  Maybe we should start????    Ok.  So I read where he is not "really" a running back.  This is from Steelers.com:  

His official 40-yard dash time at the combine was 4.26, No. 1 among all the running backs and slower only than Chris Johnson’s combine-record 4.24 in 2008.

* Archer scored a Kent State-record 23 touchdowns in 2012, 16 rushing (159-1,429-16), four receiving (39-561-4) and three on kickoff returns.

* Running backs coach James Saxon considers Archer “as tough as any kid I’ve been around.”

* Archer can potentially fill the scat-back, specialty back, complementary back role LaRod Stephens-Howling was unable to handle last season due to a season-ending injury in the opener. Archer also will solve the issues the Steelers had in 2013 with kickoff returns

I also read that he posted the second fastest 40 running time in Combine history --- Mike Wallace who?????

I just went to the NFL and they had him listed as WR. Here is some film on him:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-3JgIG9hhM after watching this I believe he jusy may have been the best available.
