Still Curtain

The Steelers are almost at a point of desperation right now. They have slipped into a dangerous trend of mediocre seasons with safe offseasons to maintain the current level of play. It seems like the team is trying to avoid losing seasons as opposed to winning games. With this mock draft, the team tries to buck that trend. We have seen recent drafts trend toward the conservative side. This has worked well enough, the team has gotten steady contributors, but the drafts lack the elite playmakers that put good teams into the great category. These prospects are boom or bust in this three-round draft. If they hit, you could be looking at a team-changing player for years to come. That comes with a low floor though, and if these players aren’t developed well, they won’t become great options. That is your risk and reward though, and this team needs some star power. If everything pans out, this draft could be a turning point for the Steelers.
