Run on cornerbacks land Steelers stud linebacker in 2-round mock draft

Most Pittsburgh Steelers fans remain cautiously optimistic when the 2019 NFL draft rolls around, the Steelers will somehow be able to land former Michigan linebacker Devin Bush in the first round. His value in the eyes of draft writers seems to vary wildly because a lock for the top 10 to a slide to 20 for Pittsburgh.

Pro Football Focus did a new two-round mock draft and in it, a run on cornerbacks gives the Steelers  Bush in the first round. This draft gets even better when the Steelers are able to snag Arizona State wide receiver N’Keal Harry in the second round.

As much as I’m not convinced Bush is the answer at inside linebacker, especially after signing Mark Barron, this is favorable over a first-round cornerback. And landing a big target in the passing game like Harry in the second round would definitely benefit Ben Roethlisberger.

What do you all think of this scenario? Is it reasonable to think no team is going to go up and get Bush on potential alone or will be slide to Pittsburgh?
