As you read Steelers mock drafts prior to the 2016 NFL Draft, you probably saw multiple takes that told you that Andrew Billings was a lock for the Steelers at 25. After all the Steelers seemingly sent the entire scouting staff, including Joe Greene, to watch him at his pro day. Steelers site writers then went to work convincing themselves of Billings’ dominant abilities in an effort to see what the Steelers seemed to see. You could even make the argument that the Steelers wanted people to see that interest…..
What people failed to take into account was that same draftable class from Baylor also held Corey Coleman, a wide receiver many thought was the best in the class, and Xavien Howard, a cornerback many thought could be a 1st round prospect.
