Food for thought from nine other mock drafts (listed in chronological order):
Walter Football: 27. Pittsburgh Steelers: Dont'a Hightower, ILB, Alabama (updated today)
NFL Draft Scout (Rob Rang): 27. Pittsburgh Steelers: Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State (updated 12/23)
Big Lead Sports: 27. Pittsburgh Steelers: Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina (updated 12/23)
Draftek: 29. Pittsburgh Steelers: Vontaze Burfict, SILB, Arizona State (updated 12/22)
NFL Draft Scout (Dane Brugler): 27. Pittsburgh Steelers: Zebrie Sanders, OT, Florida State (updated 12/20)
SB Nation:29. Pittsburgh Steelers: Cordy Glenn, OL, Georgia (updated 12/12)
Draft Countdown: 31. Pittsburgh Steelers: Kevin Zeitler, OG, Wisconsin (updated 12/11)
NFL Draft Geek: 27. Pittsburgh Steelers: Barrett Jones, G/T, Alabama (updated 12/
Bleacher Report: 26. Pittsburgh Steelers: Cordy Glenn, OG, Georgia (last update unknown)
The consensus of these mock drafts has us selecting for the OL (shocking, I know). It's mostly too early to zero in on a specific player. These results bear that out (only Cordy Glenn is mentioned more than once).
But we mostly know where our need lies. I think we are going to look at G and ILB as primary needs and FS, NT, OT and OLB as secondaries. Again, too soon to think of specific players.
