Steelers mock draft: Pittsburgh gets an impressive haul in trade-back

3.97, Pittsburgh Steelers: Nik Bonitto, EDGE, Oklahoma

The Steelers move onto their last pick in the third round and get an edge rusher. The pick Nik Bonitto, no not the former hockey player, out of Oklahoma. He has been able to show his athleticism and ability to get after the passer. He would be a great addition as the third outside linebacker on this depth chart behind the two starters.

4.138, Pittsburgh Steelers: Leo Chenal, LB, Wisconsin

Leo Chenal in the fourth round would be the steal of the draft. He is projected to go in the second or third round so getting him in the fourth is highway robbery. He is a Steeler through and through as many see him wearing black and gold. He is a thumper that can develop into a three-down linebacker at the next level.

7.225, Pittsburgh Steelers: Julius Turner, DT, Rutgers

The last pick of this draft goes into the direction of the defensive line. This point in the draft call upon mostly special team contributors or project players. Turner is small for the next level and will have to put on weight at the next level to continue his development. The best thing about this player is his motor and ability to stay in each play. He never gives up on a play and you can’t teach that to a player.

The Steelers are going to need a nice haul at the draft with some impact players. They were able to get a nice haul of picks in a trade back here and get many solid prospects to help the team in 2022.
