Steelers Land Fiesty, Physical Cornerback In Former GM’s ESPN Mock Draft

That would be cornerback. After losing Cameron Sutton in free agency to the Detroit Lions and replacing him with veteran Patrick Peterson, the Steelers still have a serious need at the cornerback position.

A high draft pick could certainly fill that need, and that’s just the direction the Steelers went in ESPN’s mock draft Tuesday morning from former NFL GM Mike Tannenbaum, landing Illinois’ Devon Witherspoon at No.
