Behind The Steel Curtain

The NFL Combine has come to a close and the Pittsburgh Steelers are inching closer to a critical draft that could dictate the future of many key positions such as cornerback, center, and wide receiver. Rumors that WR Diontae Johnson could be traded have been swirling, which leads me to believe the Steelers could take a wideout higher than most initially thought. It also helps that this year’s receivers' class is absolutely bonkers. You’ll see that reflected in this mock. Keep in mind that I used a simulator here, so these aren’t necessarily the players I’d handpick to become future Steelers, but rather who I would draft based on availability in this scenario. Also note that potential free agent signings will change the Steelers’ needs come draft day. For this Steelers mock draft, let’s project that Pittsburgh signs former Denver Broncos C Lloyd Cushenberry and former Miami Dolphins ILB Jerome Baker.
