Round 4: WR Jalen Robinette, Air Force

Haven’t heard of Jalen Robinette? Most haven’t, but I promise you this kid is the real deal. I love Robinette at this stage of the draft for Pittsburgh, as he has the tools to develop into a dominant downfield threat.

More from Still Curtain

His overall game and routes are raw, but he flashes ridiculous ball skills and has the speed to stretch the field. A profile on Robinette’s game will certainly be up on Still Curtain later this off season.

Round 5: TE Eric Saubert, Drake and RB Corey Clement, Wisconsin

In Round 5, I grabbed a small school Senior Bowl TE, Eric Saubert. Saubert shows a great size/speed combo and has a game similar to Ladarius Green. He is a threat over the middle and shows great leaping abilities and body control to make contested catches.

With the Round 5 comp pick that will likely be coming Pittsburgh’s way, I grabbed a RB. Corey Clement isn’t the flashiest of backs but would perfectly complement Le’Veon’s game. He is a tough, downhill runner who certainly has an NFL skill set.

Round 6: DL Tanoh Kpassagnon, Villanova

Round 6 I go upside with Tanoh Kpassagnon. He didn’t play against NFL level competition at Villanova but he flashed NFL level traits. His game is raw but with a little grooming he could be a nice rotational DL for Pittsburgh.

Round 7: RB James Conner, Pittsburgh

In Round 7 with the local hero sitting at the top of the board, how could you not give him a chance? James Conner is perhaps the toughest player in CFB, and if given a chance there is no doubt in my mind he could carve out a role no the Steeler’s roster.
