Steelers Mock Draft and Possible Draft Targets to Fill Steelers Needs
By Logan Bryson
Need 5. WR
While many would consider WR a luxury pick for Pittsburgh, this may be a bigger need than you think, especially if Martavis Bryant is unable to play in 2017.
Day 1 – John Ross, Washington
Day 2 – Ryan Switzer, North Carolina
Day 3 – Jalen Robinette, Air Force
Need 6.TE
The Steelers depth at TE is not bad at first glance, with Ladarius Green, Jesse James, and Xavier Grimble all still rostered. However, if Green is unable to stay healthy, adding an impact player as a move TE could help open up the field for Antonio Brown and the other Steelers playmakers.
Day 1 – David Njoku, Miami
Day 2 – Evan Engram, Ole Miss
Day 3 – Eric Saubert, Drake
Need 7. RB
Le’Veon Bell is perhaps the best RB in the league, but with his past injury history the Steelers should ensure that they have a quality RB behind him on the roster.
With DeAngelo Williams hitting free agency, the Steelers would be wise to draft a young RB due to William’s age and potentially high price tag. Or perhaps they can draft a versatile playmaker to complement Bell and add a new threat to the offense, a la James White for New England.
Day 1 – Christian McCaffrey, Stanford
Day 2 – Kareem Hunt, Toledo
Day 3 – James Conner, Pittsburgh
