Steelers 7-round mock draft following Terrell Edmunds signing
Pittsburgh Steelers. John Metchie III. 52. player. 55. . Wide Receiver
Considering the Steelers must address the proverbial elephant in the room which they do. They take a wide receiver to help replenish their depth. It’s hard to say how they have the day two quarterbacks ranked but selecting one in round two means there is a good chance Metchie is still on the board. He is very comparable to Jaylen Waddle and Dede Westbrook.
Considering the Steelers still have Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool, Metchie comes in as the number three receiver. While a speed threat and a great route runner, his biggest downside is recovery from a torn ACL injury; as a result, he is ranked much lower than he could have been.
Pittsburgh Steelers. Leo Chenal. 84. player. 55. . Linebacker
This pick is a case of taking the best player available. If he is still on the board at 84, you take him; you’re getting a 2nd rounder at a 3rd round price. Also, many Steelers fans have thrown his name out as a day two pick in discussions. It sort of made this selection a no-brainer.
While average in size, he is a stout playmaker and a three-down player and ran a 4.53 40-yard dash. If he has a downside, it’s a fact that he could be faster, and he can not change direction fluidly, which is a pass coverage issue. Nonetheless, he is a solid choice in this pick.
