2021 Steelers Mock Draft Round 1 - Redskins, I mean the WFT is on the clock

the Redskins, I mean the WFT is on the clock. please select one of the players in the poll and we will move on once there is a clear majority.

we will continue to count down until the Steelers pick at #24.

1. Jaguars - Trevor Lawrence QB Clemson
2. NY Jets - Zach Wilson QB BYU
3. Dolphins- Ja'Marr Chase WR LSU
4. Falcons - Justin Fields QB Ohio St
5. Bengals - Penei Sewell OT Oregon
6. Eagles - Kyle Pitts TE Florida
7. Lions - DeVonta Smith WR Alabama
8. Panthers - Trey Lance QB N Dakota St
9. Broncos - Caleb Farley CB Va Tech
10. Cowboys - Rashawn Slater OT Northwestern
11. NY Giants - Jaylen Waddle CB Alabama
12. 49ers - Jaycee Horn CB S Carolina
13. Chargers - Christian Darrisaw OT Va Tech
14. Vikings- Micah Parsons ILB Penn St
15. Patriots*- Mac Jones QB Alabama
16. Cardinals - Patrick Surtain CB Alabama
17. Raiders - Kwity Paye DE Michigan
18. Dolphins - Najee Harris RB Alabama

the WFT is on the clock:

J. Owusu-Koramoah ILB, Notre Dame

I could also see WR,OL, or QB here if there is still one of the 4 QBs remaining.

I think the offensive side of the ball needs attention. Now that the highest rated QB's are off the board, I think they look for another weapon for Taylor Heinicke.

The Washington Football Team selects Rashod Bateman WR Minnesota.

I went AVT OT USC for protection for whoever the QB is, though look for Dan Snyder to make a move for a QB in the draft

A trade with the Falcons makes sense. I don't believe Atlanta will be looking to replace Matt Ryan just yet.

:thumbsup:

Of the choices I think WFT goes WR. I could see them going with Freiermuth here also but he's not an option. The WR voted for already is Bateman so I'll vote Bateman as well.

Went OT...

I know that there are no trades, but I strongly feel that the WFT will trade up into the top 10 for a QB.

Free agency has changed things a bit. With the Chargers bolstering their O-line by signing both Linsley and Feiler, I think that they wait until R2 for an OT... because, their biggest weakness is/was CB. That said, they could very well create a formidable left side by taking a LT at 13. I have no problem with that (but, also feel that with those two signings, it could very well be a CB at 13).

I really look for the Falcons to trade down, unless they are wanting to find Matt Ryan's replacement. The Falcons really need a pass rusher and none of the pass rushers are worth a top 5 pick, IMO.

I could see the Chargers going WR or Pitts as well. They're losing Hunter Henry and they have solid WRs but not a lot of speed in that room. Rashod Bateman could help in that dept. Bateman can fly.

Chargers also signed CB Michael Davis. CB in rd 1 may not be necessary. Chargers roster keeps looking better and better.

It's the benefit of having a franchise QB on a rookie deal.

I don't think anyone else is voting on this poll, so I will change my vote of AVT to Bateman and let Bateman be the winner to move the poll along (the pick does make sense anyway).

Update: Nevermind, someone else voted and Bateman took lead anyway. Regard again in event of another tie

Rashod Bateman is the selection of the WFT.

Da Chicago Bears are now on the clock:

since we voted, the WFT has signed WR Curtis Samuel.

I'm thinking about switching this pick from WR Rashod Bateman to the next highest vote getter OT Alijah Vera-Tucker.

what do you guys think?

the fricken nerve of the Foreskins I mean Deadskins I mean Redskins I mean Washington Football team to sign an expensive WR after we selected a WR for them in our all-important Steelers Fever I mean Steelers Universe mock draft!
