Here’s a look at 30 mock drafts and the player the experts think the Steelers will take in round 1 (a few had a round 2 choice so I included that as well). I like to read up on the potential picks prior to the start of the draft on April 28th .
Picks By Position:
CB: 25
S: 1
OT: 2
QB: 1
DT: 1
Most popular choices: **1. William Jackson III - 6'2" / 195 (10 drafts) 2. Mackensie Alexander - 5'10" / 190 (8 drafts) 3. Eli Apple - 6'1" / 199 (4 drafts)
** (I'm not an ESPN insider but Mel Kiper has Jackson as the Steelers pick as of this week)
