Round 1- Kaiir Elam CB Florida
Everyone probably yelling for a QB but there’s just not a blue chip prospect to get. Haden likely is gone or at best signs a short term contract to stay. Pierre is up and down and Layne isn’t doing anything special. Elam is big, physical, great technique and is a ball hawk to boot with 20 pbu and 5 picks in 25 games so far. Nicely sized at just shy of 6-2 and 196lbs.
Round 2- Darian Kinnard OT Kentucky
I know again Steelers faithful yelling for a QB but I feel Steelers give Rudolph a shot and have Haskins waiting right behind him. Kinnard can play RT and if Banner rocks it and gets locked up at RT Kinnard can kick inside to guard.
Round 3- Jaquan Brisker S Penn State
I’d be pretty surprised if Brisker is still on the board but looking at the big boards I used he was rated 2-4th and 71st prospect so right in line with this pick. Brisker is a playmaker who seems to play big when you need a big play. He has good coverage skills and can come up to support the run. I’m not sure we sign Edmunds especially when Fitzpatrick is due to resign.
Round 3b- Garrett Wilson WR Ohio State
JuJu and Washington are likely gone. That leaves Claypool and DJ as our starters. I feel Wilson is a santonio holmes kind of receiver. Can play inside or out.
Round 5- Boye Mafe edge Minnesota
Typical 3-4 undersized edge pass rusher the Steelers like. Mafe is having a big year so he could easily rise by draft time.
Round 7-
Sean Clifford QB Penn State
Clifford is a mobile QB with good arm strength and despite what some draft gurus state good accuracy. He’s been through a lot at Penn State and never lost the team. Might not be the best presnap defense reader and is a little undersized at a listed 6-2 which likely is closer to 6ft to 6-1.
