I like what you did here. Huge upside with Banks and I've read a lot of analysts who think Scott is a perfect fit for the Steelers.

Banks would be a welcome addition to the defensive line and learn under Cam Heyward.

I think Scott might be the best defensive back for the Steelers outside of the first round. It seems as though he can play multiple positions in the defensive backfield like Jalen Ramsey but is younger and quicker.

The problem I am finding with these mocks is that too many WRs go off the board before the Steelers first pick in the third round (and even their first round pick). So I think they will be forced to take a WR at 21, or thereabouts, and get their DT in the 3rd round where The Godfather or Big Citrus will likely be found.

More of what the Steelers will need shall become evident after free agency next week.
