Here are all the players that I have 1st-2nd round grades on. These are the players I graded with immense upside but aren’t locks to be great players like my true 1st round grades. My 1-2 grades are players that should go anywhere from mid-first-round to early second-round.
While most of the players from this will be gone, there is a chance that a few of these names could make it to pick 49. More than likely, we are looking at a running back or (J.K. Dobbins or Jonathan Taylor) and possibly a wide receiver (Jalen Reagor or Brandon Aiyuk). Jaylon Johnson is a player I’m higher on than most, and there’s a good chance he could fall this far, depending on how teams view his medicals.
The Steelers will likely have more interest in a running back than receiver early this year (though my preference would be the latter). I don’t know if they have much interest in Jonathan Taylor, J.K. Dobbins is a guy they would love to have if he fell. Jalen Reagor is also an outside possibility if he slips.
