As expected, the post 2016 NFL Scouting Combine major media mock drafts are coming fast and furious. On Wednesday, Bucky Brooks of NFL Media released his latest first round prediction and while he does have the Pittsburgh Steelers selecting a cornerback 25th overall, it’s not Eli Apple or Mackensie Alexander. Instead, Brooks has the Steelers drafting Houston cornerback William Jackson III with the 25th pick in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
Brooks writes of the Steelers selection of Jackson:
The Steelers covet long, rangy corners with ball skills and instincts to thrive in a zone-based system.
