With NFL free agency less than a week away and the league having just announced this year’s compensatory picks, it feels like a good time to roll out my first mock draft of the season.
I tried to be as realistic as possible, picking players I think the Steelers might be interested in, as well as having prospects being picked at reasonable draft slots (Penei Sewell at #24 would be great, but that’s not going to happen). And, since draft trades are even harder to predict than draft picks, I went without them altogether.
Let’s get to the picks:
Samuel Cosmi, OT, Texas
1st round, #24 overall
Christian Darrisaw is the ideal pick here, but realistically he’ll probably not be available when the Steelers pick.
