Here's a link to NFL.com's 2016 Draft Tracker. It shows all players picked and the pool of players yet to be picked with ratings for each player.

It helps the draft experience keeping this link as one of your open windows. Enjoy!

I'm currently sitting in flag and majorette tryouts for my high school band instead of sitting at home and drinking beer to get ready for the draft. Try to contain your jealousy of me, folks. Lol

I've been pushing for a CB to be taken high in the draft for years but I gotta say, I'm just not feeling any of these CBs that should be available when it's our pick in round 1.

Nice in theory except Steelers 3rd most sacks in NFL in 2015, but 30th in pass defense https://t.co/ozmJ8eFKou

Thanks Ed, maybe you should try watching a game or two so you can see that number of sacks =/= consistent pressure. Not that we DON'T need a DB or two, but to me this looks like more of the smug "Avoid a Defensive Tackle at All Costs - LOOK HOW SMART I AM" schtick.

I agree. Odds are pretty long that Alexander is available, and he's the only one I would really want over a stud DT like Billings or Butler. Jackson maybe. I really hope we don't take Apple.

Round 2 - Xavien Howard. That's the guy I'm hoping for, who could really help us for a much more reasonable price.

I picked Marcus Peters in last year's Steelers Universe mock draft contest and I'm still bummed that he didn't last until it was our turn...

[fansince'76]

Will Goodell continue his long-standing tradition of hiding behind military members at the podium in an attempt to shield himself from the cascade of boos?

The world awaits with breathless anticipation...

Yea, he would've been perfect.

its the lying season , front office will not tip their hand to a reporter who's job is to report ...

remember the Jerome Simpson leak

[Vis]

It will be Apple if he's there.

[BlackAndGold]

It will be Apple if he's there.

Yep, Imo, it's between Billings and Apple.

- - - Updated - - -

They may have been 3rd in sacks, But they still lack consistent pressure on the QB.

what Ed didnt tell you was 22 of those sacks ( that got us to 3rd ) came in 4 games that where blowouts , a dozen in 2 games vs the Browns

Goff or Wentz?

yup, he's tall fast and from Ohio State.

only question is whether he makes it to #25...

[SteelerFanInStl]

It will be Goff to the Rams.

I can see the banners now..." An APPLE on SunDAY keeps the WR away "

[BlackAndGold]

It'll be interesting where the Chargers go, last night heard they'll go Ronnie Stanley, now it may be Buckner or Ramsey.

[hawaiiansteeler]

Goff or Wentz?

Goff to the Rams. Fisher needs to win now...

[SteelerFanInStl]

They should take Ramsey since they need to replace Weddle. I just hope that Ramsey doesn't fall to the Ravens.

[BlackAndGold]

Spoiler picks or nah?

[Vis]

Goodell boos coming. Always the best part.

[BlackAndGold]

Ramsey won't get passed the Jags, so I don't worry about Baltimore getting him, can see them getting Tunsil though.
