Kiper's Latest three Round Mock

[Chucktownsteeler]

I think because the CB position is somewhat deep this year they go OLB in the first and CB in the second.

I hope that is how it plays out

the most ridiculous mock draft I've seen so far regarding the Steelers' 1st round selection is from profootballtalk.

they have us taking OT Donovan Smith from Penn St...

It's pretty funny that Danny Shelton and Shane Ray were both available at #22 as well.

[K Train]

I lust for Shane Ray...i do not think theres any chance they would pass on him. They have shown significant interest.

Ray splits the waters...you either love him or you hate him. I think hes one of the 4 truly elite players in the draft

Here is a 7 round mock from Draftek:

1. Marcus Peters, CB, Washington

Wow, Riggs in 6 would be an sneaky good pick.

Those first 3 picks are wonderful

Despite my reservations about Peters, that would be an amazing draft.

This makes the most sense. Despite how people are mocking just because CBS has a guy like Harold or OO as a bottom first, that doesn't mean the Steelers see it that way. There should be plenty of DB talent in the second. The Steelers tend to prefer first round pass rushers and there won't be a ton of great pass rushers in the second. But, the more I sit on this draft the more I believe it will be Kevin Johnson if he falls to us.

[K Train]

Second tier pass rushers are much worse than second tier CBs imo. If i had to narrow it down to 3 guys i think will be steelers in 13 days it would be Ray, Harold, and Johnson

[RuthlessBurgher]

In the latest edition of Sports Illustrated, with their full draft preview (in the actual magazine, not online), their 2 round mock had us taking CB Kevin Johnson in the first (OLB Bud Dupree was available and taken 2 spots later) and taking TE Clive Walford in the second (CB Alex Carter was available and taken 2 spots later).

[K Train]

I think they would take Dupree personally...i think Dupree could go as high as atlanta

4. Jeremy Langford, RB, Michigan State
5. Andrew Donnal, OT, Iowa
6. Tray Walker, CB, Texas Southern
6c. Adam Shead, OG, Oklahoma

2. Carl Davis, DE, Iowa
3. Markus Golden, OLB, Missouri
4. Adrian Amos, S, Penn State
5. Clayton Geathers, S, Central Florida

Seems like your run of the mill mock draft...but if you look further at who was available that we didn't draft here is what we could have had.

If you aren't worried about the positive marijuana test, Randy Gregory was available for us in round 1 (selected 2 spots after us, 24th overall by Arizona).

If you aren't worried about him being kicked off his college team, Marcus Peters was available for us in round 2 (selected 2 spots after us, 58th overall by Baltimore).

If you aren't worried about the DUI, P.J. Williams was available for us in round 3 (selected 3 spots after us, 90th overall by Baltimore).

And I have no idea why he dropped this far (maybe the girl's name?), but Danielle Hunter was available for us in round 5 (selected 1 spot after us, 161st overall by Carolina).

Focusing on the pure talent on the field (rather than the potential headaches off the field), could you imagine if we were able to solve the outside pass rush issue by adding both Randy Gregory and Danielle Hunter, plus solve the outside corner issue by adding both Marcus Peters and P.J. Williams, and still being able to get legit young backups for Heath and Le'Veon with Jeff Heuerman and Karlos Williams. You have to admit, that is kinda nuts. Of course, it could also be considered to be a Bengal-like draft from a decade ago as well.


1. OLB Randy Gregory
2. CB Marcus Peters
3. CB P.J. Williams
4. TE Jeff Heuerman
5. OLB Danielle Hunter
6. RB Karlos Williams
6c. DL Ray Drew
