It’s January, which means the start of a new year and a flurry of mock drafts headed your way over the next four months. In Pro Football Focus’ latest version, they have the Pittsburgh Steelers taking Clemson CB Derion Kendrick with the 30th pick of the 2021 draft.
In explaining the pick, author Austin Gayle writes.
“Veterans Steven Nelson and Joe Haden both enter the final years of their respective contracts in 2021. And while they haven’t been complete liabilities at outside cornerback for Pittsburgh this season, there’s opportunity for Pittsburgh to improve at the position late in the first round come April.
