Behind The Steel Curtain

● By Andrew Wilbar
The NFL Draft is just four months away, and the draft order is beginning to take shape. The Steelers have needs on both sides of the ball, but which ones will they address in the draft? Which players could be in play for the Steelers at each pick? It is time to figure that out with a Steelers 7-round mock draft! If you have seen my mock drafts before, the rules have not changed. For those that are new, let me explain how my mock drafts work. Until the draft order is finalized, I use the projected draft order via Tankathon, but I do project trades. I will have five mock drafts between now and the draft, with the final 5.0 mock draft being a full, seven-round projection. Most importantly, these mocks are a projection based off what makes sense (i.e. team fit, need filler, rumored interest). They are not based on what I want to happen or what I would do if I was the general manager for each team. In Steelers-exclusive mocks like this one, I will add my “Grade A” selection underneath the analysis for each pick.
