NFL comparisons for each of Steelers 7 draft picks in 2022

7.225: Mark Robinson, LB, Ole Miss

Mark Robinson is a very raw athlete at the linebacker position that was a former walk-on at Ole Miss. The Steelers drafted him based on his upside as he has only been playing the position for one season at the collegiate level. He will need to prove himself on special teams to make the roster as a rookie.

Stevenson Sylvester, LB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Stevenson Sylvester is a good comparison as he made a short career in the NFL based on his play on special teams. Robinson will have to accomplish that feat to stick with the black and gold in hopes of sticking around.

Ulysees Gilbert III, LB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Ulysees Gilbert was taken a couple of years ago and kind of had the same skillset and size as Robinson provides. These two will battle it out in camp to try and make the roster.

7.241: Chris Oladokun, QB, South Dakota State

Chris Oladokun was the last pick by Kevin Colbert. The Steelers doubled down on quarterbacks in this draft by selecting him. He has mobility and a stronger arm than he was given credit for. His lower level of competition is kind of concerning though.

Josh Dobbs, QB, Cleveland Browns

Josh Dobbs just left for the Cleveland Browns and the Steelers could have found a replacement for him with similar traits. They got a mobile quarterback that could turn into a reliable backup option on the bench.

P.J. Walker, QB, Carolina Panthers

P.J. Walker is another player that shares similar traits as Oladokun. They are both mobile and came out of smaller programs to differing extents. Walker was not taken in the draft while this prospect has been able to get selected in the event and hopefully can fight for a roster spot.

The Steelers were able to get some quality players in the 2022 draft. These comparisons can make some players look better or worse than what they could actually become in the NFL.
