There’s sort of a standard when it comes to Pittsburgh and drafting. Of course there are going to be whiffs and mistakes, and of course not everything works out, but the franchise didn’t have a first round pick last season and it got Chase Claypool and has a bit of promise among some of the other picks. But now they need starters at the 24 and the 55.
Will the Steelers pull a 2020 Green Bay – when the Packers took Jordan Love as a slight surprise – and take a quarterback if one of the big five is there at the 24? How about Stanford’s Davis Mills? A running back doesn’t make the impact a quarterback does, but taking Najee Harris or Travis Etienne would be a massive moment in the first round.
They need help for the offensive line, but they can do that in the second round. Grabbing a center would be nice, and that’s where they can get one who could be an instant fit. Again, it’s the Steelers. They’ll get a good guy in the first and they’ll nail the value in the second.
