Mock draft

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.

Exactly, I was saying the same in another thread. If you pass on a WR in rnd 1, there weren't a lot of good options in rnd 2 (at 53) imo. There are some smaller, faster guys but that doesn't seem like the type MM usually drafts. Every WR drafted in Dallas was 6'1" or taller, if that can be given any credance who knows? I am liking Skyler Bell and need to watch some more of Germie Bernard and Jakobi Lane. Bell is 6' but Bernard 6'1" and Lane is 6'4". Lane seen more as rnd 3 by some sites.

I have cooled on Boston. If I remember correctly he didn’t perform some drills at the combine ? I prefer our round 1 guy to show a competitive nature..

I am really not a fan of Boston myself, just conducting an exercise (without trades) and seeing what happens if...

It is looking to be an awkward draft this year concerning what the Steelers need and what is likely to be available to help fill the biggest holes on the roster.

Might be best to move back in round 1 for Omar Cooper and up in round 2 to guarantee getting a swiss army knife type DB for the defense.

Roman Hemby is a guy I've been watching on IU's replays. I like Mike Washington Jr the best for some of the guys that are attainable but Hemby is #2 for me. I was liking Rashul Faison too out of SC but then learned he'll be a 26yr old rookie, that's second contract age for most players.

Can it be considered a successful draft if a Couga is not drafted? Free agent is good. Drafted is better
