Steelers Depot

● By Ross McCorkle
We are so back! The first Pittsburgh Steelers mock draft of the season always brings a bit of extra wonder, with so many different possibilities and a shortage of actionable information to work with. Other than some basic scouting at the all-star games and our general evaluation of the current gaps on the roster, there isn’t much to work with. The legal tampering period for free agency is one month from tomorrow. Obviously, that can and will likely flip the entire draft board on its head. My version 1.0 mock draft last year was right after the first week of free agency. I didn’t get a ton right, but I did manage to nail C Zach Frazier in the second round and the correct positions for the first three rounds. After that… yeah, let’s not talk about it. For this mock, I will be following Tankathon’s full draft order . The official order will be released sometime in the next week or so following the conclusion of the Super Bowl later today. I didn’t use a simulator, but I did glance at various big boards, including PFF, Mock Draft Database, and others, to maintain some level of realistic possibilities. With all that said, here is my version 1.0.
