Mock Draft conducted on PFSN's Mock Draft Machine, using their own players’ list. No mock trades were made.


21. Spencer Fano, T, Utah

As we discussed a few weeks ago, starting left tackle Broderick Jones is likely to miss the entire season recovering from surgery. Fano is regarded by many as the top tackle in the class, with long arms and a powerful base. He should acclimate to Pittsburgh nicely, giving the Steelers more security on the exterior of the O-line.


53. Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson

After pairing the 6’4 Michael Pittman with the 6’4 DK Metcalf, the Steelers have plenty of size in the receiver room. Replacing the smaller frame of Calvin Austin III is Williams, the 5’11 route technician with elite twitch. Despite a poor season for Clemson’s offense, Williams still found ways to rack up yards. Pittsburgh will expect him to continue his production in the slot. Creative playcallers will also look to utilize his chops as a passing threat.



76. Oscar Delp, TE, Georgia

Tight end isn’t exactly the biggest need in Pittsburgh, but Delp is the Steelers’ kind of player. The stats don’t pop off the page, but Delp did the dirty work for Georgia as a reliable blocker in pass protection and in the run game. His acceleration, sure hands and ball security make him the ideal safety blanket tight end. If Pittsburgh chooses to break in a new QB this year, Delp will increase his quality of life significantly.


85. Malik Muhammad, CB, Texas

A smooth operator with a white-hot competitive streak, Muhammad joins a Steelers secondary that won’t need him to be too much too early. Being in an NFL weight room and learning from Jalen Ramsey could help him realize his sky-high potential.


99. Harold Perkins Jr, LB, LSU

NFL scouts haven’t figured out how Perkins projects at the next level; LSU’s defense moved him around quite a bit. If the Steelers can utilize him properly, Perkins brings superstar potential to the middle of Pittsburgh’s defense he was a nightmare for opposing defenses in college.



121. Beau Stephens, OG, Iowa

6’5, 315lbs on the inside of the offensive line is always a good thing. Stephens has a great feel for the finer points of blocking and could see real opportunities in Pittsburgh.


135. Zakee Wheatley, S, Penn State

A former Jaquan Brisker understudy, Wheatley is a long safety who moves very well. Like Williams, Wheatley remained productive despite his team’s overall struggles, and he has the potential to see significant playing time rotating with Brisker and DeShon Elliott.


161. Malachi Fields, WR, Notre Dame

A holdover from my last mock draft. I still like Fields’ size and speed, especially in a unit that appears to value those traits.


216. Drew Allar, QB, Penn State

Drew Allar is going to get somebody in trouble as they take him way too early, but he’s still around late on day three in this mock draft. A gorgeous deep ball passer who needs some work when it comes to processing on routine throws, Allar’s potential is too enticing to pass up this late in the draft, and I still believe that he can shine under the right circumstances.



224. Caden Curry, EDGE, Ohio State

Caden Curry had 40 solo tackles and 11 sacks in one season as a starter for Ohio State. He is available in the seventh round. He has no known character concerns. I’m sold.

230. Desmond Reid, RB/PR, Pitt

Undersized yet explosive, Reid was must-see TV when he was on the field for the Pitt Panthers. Pittsburgh takes a flier on a versatile prospect, and Reid gets to keep his apartment.


237. Eric Gentry, LB, USC

Gentry’s 6’7 frame and solid tackling ability make him a fascinating prospect, especially as a space eater in the middle of a zone.
