Behind The Steel Curtain

● By Mike Nicastro
Welcome to the official kickoff of our nation’s fastest-growing holiday — the NFL draft. What once was a twinkle in the eyes of football fans across the country has become a full-fledged in-person event with loads of crazy fans flocking to the draft stage like Times Square on New Year’s Eve. The Pittsburgh Steelers and General Manager Omar Khan’s New Year’s resolution should be to ensure the black and gold are legitimate Super Bowl contenders while the best defensive player in the league TJ Watt is still in his prime. That means crushing free agency and drafting players who can help the team immediately. Throughout this journey to April 27th, I’ll try my best to crush the Steelers’ Mock Draft each Monday. Please keep in mind that everything is fluid and will likely change dramatically based on the NFL combine, NFL Draft Bowls, and tape study.
