Was looking around earlier and found a 5 rd mock from Walterfootball.com thought Id post it and see what yall think.
31.
31. Pittsburgh Steelers: Brandon Harris, CB, Miami
I've been hesitant to mock a cornerback to the Steelers because like the Colts with defensive tackles, they just don't put much value into the position.
However, there are three things to consider: First, there are no offensive linemen available who fit Pittsburgh's blocking scheme. Second, Brandon Harris is the top player available. Harris is a talented corner who had a great regular season, but struggled in his team's winter exhibition game against Michael Floyd.
And third, the Super Bowl loss to Green Bay really exposed a huge liability in Dick LeBeau's defense. Outside of upgrading the offensive line, the No. 1 thing Pittsburgh needs to do this offseason is find cornerback help.
63.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Marcus Cannon, G, TCU
There's a lot of uncertainty for the Steelers on the offensive line. Left tackle Max Starks is coming off neck surgery. Right tackle Willie Colon, a free agent in March, suffered a torn Achilles in July. Flozell Adams, meanwhile, will turn 36 a month after the 2011 NFL Draft. There's also a huge void at right guard.
95.Pittsburgh Steelers: Nate Irving, ILB, N.C. State
James Farrior had a great year, but he just turned 36. The Steelers will need to find a successor soon. Nate Irving is the best player available.
127.Pittsburgh Steelers: James Brewer, OT, Indiana
The Steelers need more than one upgrade on the offensive front this season. A new tackle would really help, and James Brewer fits into the blocking scheme perfectly.
159.Pittsburgh Steelers: Chris Carter, DE/OLB, Fresno State
The Steelers usually feel obligated to draft a rush linebacker every year. That's just their M.O.
