With the annual NFL scouting combine now right around the corner, Steve Palazzolo of Pro Football Focus released his latest mock of the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft on Wednesday and he has the Pittsburgh Steelers selecting a defensive back with the 30th overall selection.
Palazzolo, who adds a disclaimer in his latest mock that it reflects what he would do as GM of each team, has the Steelers selecting Iowa cornerback Desmond King in the first round with the 30th overall selection. He writes of his choice for the Steelers:
Even with Artie Burns added to the mix at cornerback last season, King’s fit is too much to pass up for the Steelers.
