Behind The Steel Curtain

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 profootballnetwork.com and used their predictive 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 made seven selections, we got none of the selections correct as they had quarterbacks flying off the board in Round 1 (Malik Willis went 2nd overall). The draft plays out in strange ways, so players who were available in certain positions in this simulation will likely be gone on draft night. This is what makes watching the draft so exciting and entertaining as you never know what is going to happen. Additionally, remember that this was a simulation and that our options were based off of players who could have already been selected by other teams. In years past, some were quick to comment on the podcast listing out all the players we should have taken in the simulation. To nobody’s surprise, the first five players they listed had already been drafted before the Steelers had the opportunity to take that player where they suggested.
