Steelers need to skip these 5 potential busts of the 2022 NFL Draft

Bernhard Raimann is not worth the gamble for the Steelers in round one

Bernhard Raimann is an offensive tackle that has limited experience in the game of football. He is getting a lot of interest in the draft because of his size and ceiling that many look for. He has not played top-level competition and even though his best days of football seem in front of him, he has not shown enough for the Steelers to draft him.

A first-round pick should be a player that you are confident in helping your team for at least the next five to ten years. Taking a gamble on another project at tackle is not worth the attempt on behalf of Pittsburgh. They have many other pressing needs that must be focused on more in the first round.

Raimann has been in many first-round mock drafts, but his name seems to be slipping some. Recently, those same mock drafts have him dropping to day two of the event, which makes more sense for this player. The team has not expressed a lot of interest in him early on, so gambling on him might be out of the cards.

He is a project, but this team needs an upgrade over one of their starters to take one early. Dan Moore Jr. and Chuks Okorafor seem to be slotted into the starting spots as they return from last season. There is no need to take one on the first night, especially a prospect like Raimann that could backfire immediately.
