The first round of the NFL draft is only a few days away! Many NFL fans will tune in to the primetime spectacle on both Thursday and Friday to see what players are taken to help shape their favorite team for the 2019 season. But many times it’s the players taken on the third day in rounds four through seven that can really affect the teams immediate depth.
For example, only four draft picks over the last three seasons for the Pittsburgh Steelers are not still currently on the roster. Beyond those years (2015 and earlier), the Steelers have no more than two players from any draft who are available for them going into 2019 (since Ryan Shazier announced he will not be able to return next season).
