1.25, Buffalo Bills: Bernhard Raimann, OG, Central Michigan

The Buffalo Bills don’t have a ton of holes to fill on their team and they could always go defense here. Keeping the offensive line intact is something that they should keep invested in. Buffalo takes Raimann here as a guard and he can play tackle as well.

He is a project that could pay off big time if they develop him properly. This is another player that has been mocked to the Steelers many times.

1.26, Tennessee Titans: George Pickens, WR, Georgia

George Pickens is another player that has been rumored to have some character concerns by some teams. He could drop into the second round and become an option for the Steelers at pick 52. Tennessee gets another weapon on offense after some uncertainty in their receiver group.

1.27, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jermaine Johnson, EDGE, Florida State

Jermaine Johnson falls into the lap of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who need some young edge rushers on defense. Many have this prospect going all over the first round in mock drafts. Some have him going in the top 15, while others have him going later in the first as he did in this simulation.

1.28, Green Bay Packers: Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State

Jahan Dotson got a lot of attention from the Green Bay Packers during the Penn State pro day. This is an explosive player coming out of Happy Valley and will become Aaron Rodgers’s new favorite target.

He was a one-man highlight reel in college and will translate nicely to the NFL level. This is another player that could be an option for the Steelers in the second round if he slips to them.
