Steelers take quarterback in this 1st round 2022 NFL mock draft
With Penning and Davis off the board, they either trade back or go with the next best player to fill their needs, and that player is Devonte Wyatt. However, if this is how the draft plays out and Davis is off the board, the Chargers could opt for a wide receiver if Waytt is not who they really want.
With this selection, Jalen Hurts has a solid wide receiver to throw to, and the Eagles are back as being an offensive threat. Just imagine if they had kept the third pick. Now they can bolster their defense and offensive line in rounds 2 through 7.
Now that they have a stud wide receiver in Drake London, it makes perfect sense to go with Linderbaum to help protect Jameis Winston, and perhaps he stays healthy, and the Saints make a playoff run.
The Steelers want, if not need to take a quarterback now. If they trade up then their play is for Malik Willis. If they stand pat at 20, Ridder should fall to them naturally. The Pittsburgh Steelers will only target Matt Corral or Sam Howell if Ridder happens to go earlier than the 20th selection.
