Pittsburgh Steelers (gator)
1(22) Jalen Collins - CB - LSU
2(56) Preston Smith - DE - Mississippi State
3(87) TJ Yeldon - RB - Alabama
4(118) Davis Tull - LB - Chattanooga
Overall I kind of let the draft come to me and stuck to the board.
-Corner is a problem for Pittsburgh and Collins is about universally a first round prospect.
-I don't know if Preston Smith would play the elephant or 3-4 DE, but I think he's athletic enough to do well at either spot given clear weight room and size objectives.
-Given Leveon Bell's upcoming suspension, off-field question marks, and lack of depth behind him, I was open to grabbing a back in this draft as an insurance policy. I think Yeldon can contribute right away as a starter but should spell well should he be drafted by a team with an elite player in front of him. Keep Bell healthy by managing his workload.
-Davis Tull... impressive workouts this offseason. Great production in college. Some would call this a reach, but only because he's relatively unknown from a small program.
