Behind The Steel Curtain

We’re just a few days away from the NFL Draft which can only mean one thing - no more takebacks. This is my final mock draft, and I hope you’ve enjoyed our coverage throughout. For this exercise, instead of picking who I think the Steelers would take out of a hat, I combed through every pick for each NFL team. Three full rounds, weighing team needs and evaluating top-30 visits. I wanted a clear picture of how the board could break, and I’ll take you through that thought process. The big caveat is that I did not include trades outside of round one. A trade-up or a trade-down for Pittsburgh would throw all mock drafts off - and I think it’s likelier to happen than not. It would have also given me a nasty headache.
