Steelers have work cut out for them after AFC North reloads in NFL Draft

Cincinnati Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals entered the 2022 NFL Draft with only six selections. They are coming off a Super Bowl and AFC North championship, a year after the Steelers held the title. This is a young and upcoming team that seems like it will compete for years to come with its high-powered offense.

Daxton Hill was a player that this team coveted the most and that was their first-round selection. The Steelers also showed a lot of interest in this defensive back coming out of Michigan. He is a very versatile player that can play multiple positions in the secondary, but he is primarily a safety.

Cam Taylor-Britt was their second-round selection, and he fits the size and athleticism that most teams look for in a young moldable corner. Zachary Carter rounded out their second day of the draft as they hope to create more pass rushers on the outside edge spot.

Cordell Volson was a nice value pick in the fourth round as he could turn into a solid starting option with time and coaching. Tyson Anderson stays in the state of Ohio and will be a solid depth piece that can also play special teams. Jeffrey Gunter was another solid value pick in the seventh round that can potentially develop into something as well.
