maybe it is just me I don't know but it seems to me that this draft class was tailor made to fill the needs of what this team lacked and the way it was utilized ( to me ) did not best suit their needs and in many cases did not take more projected talent off the board than what it left on so in 5 mins without studying the draft I did this little instead of mock ..
my rules where simple I either had to take the player the Steelers took or someone drafted after their pick in place of the pick they took ..
this is what I came up with and to me ( maybe not you ) this would have been /could have been a far superior strategy
what would you have come up with ?
1-32 -TJ Watt OLB - kept same player steelers took because he gets so much love here
2-64 Ahkello Witherspoon CB big corner who can run in man
3-96 Cameron Sutton CB a smaller corner who can mirror in the slot but is really to light to play on the outside at the next level
3-105 Carl Lawson OLB doubling down on pass rush with 38 year old James Harrison on one side and nothing much behind Dupree on the other this is a quality depth move and insurance
4-135 Jake Butt TE an Inline TE who can do a lot of the things we lacked since the departure of Heath Miller
5-173 Aaron Jones RB a good runner that has that extra gear and catches the ball like a WR out of the backfield or split wide
6-213 Brad Kaaya QB probably a better QB than we took and got him 2 rounds later
7-248 Ben Boulware a guy who smells the football and isnt afraid to thump you to put inside with Shazier has better range than VW
