Steelers Mock Draft: One Last Look Before the Combine Shuffles Everything
With the combine just over a week away, draft experts are finalizing their predictions. Here’s a mock draft focusing on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ potential picks:
Round 1: Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia
It might seem repetitive, but Mims could be the answer to the Steelers’ offensive tackle woes. He offers size, strength, and experience, perfectly fitting their system.
Round 2: Michael Penix Jr., QB, Washington
A bold pick! Penix Jr.’s athleticism and arm talent are undeniable, but questions remain about his consistency and decision-making. Still, his potential upside could be worth the risk.
Round 3: Jeremiah Trotter Jr., LB, Clemson
Following his father’s footsteps, Trotter Jr. possesses the instincts and tackling prowess the Steelers need at linebacker.
Round 4 (x2): Malik Washington, WR, Virginia & Beaux Limmer, C, Arkansas
Washington, a polished route runner with strong hands, shines in the slot. Limmer, with his impressive Senior Bowl performance, has the potential to become a starting center.
Round 6: Evan Anderson, DT, Florida Atlantic
A mammoth run-stuffing defensive tackle, Anderson could provide depth and power in the trenches.
Round 7: Tory Taylor, P, Iowa
The highest-rated punter in the draft, Taylor could solve the Steelers’ long-standing punting woes.
