Behind The Steel Curtain

● By Dave Schofield
On Tuesday night’s BTSC podcast of The Scho Bro Show, we held a mock draft simulation where those in attendance as part of our live chat on YouTube or Facebook got to chime in to help make the Steelers picks. The simulation was done through thedraftnetwork.com and used their player rankings to select the other 31 NFL franchise’s picks while we chose those of the Steelers. Before getting into the selections, we realize the chances of getting any, let alone all, of the selections correct is a very long shot. In last year‘s exercise where the Steelers did not have a first-round pick, we did not correctly select any players taken by the Steelers. The draft plays out in strange ways, and a player we selected in the fifth round was taken three spots before Alex Highsmith in the third round. This is what makes watching the draft so exciting and entertaining as you never know what is going to happen.
