With the NFL offseason now in full effect, all eyes shift to free agency and the draft. It’s somewhat of a dark period for the average football fan, with the Steelers’ hiring yesterday of Brian Flores as senior defensive assistant sending shockwaves throughout the league.

It’s also “mock draft season” where the whos’ who of sports analysts and bloggers take their shots at playing NFL GM’s, offering up their two cents of who’s picking who.
For Steelers’ fans, it’s very simple to connect the dots between the major team needs like quarterback and offensive line, and correlating them to their favorites at those respective positions.
