Previewing the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2017 NFL Draft: Mock drafts, needs, history & more

This has been one of the more interesting draft processes in recent memory as we really have no idea how things will shake out.

The Eagles are scheduled to pick 14 in this year’s NFL Draft, a pick in which they received from the Minnesota Vikings in the Sam Bradford trade last season.

“I really like Adoree” Jackson, the guy from SC”, Talib said of Southern California’s star cornerback and return specialist.

That’s not to suggest this will be a year like 2013, when the underwhelming EJ Manuel was the only quarterback selected in the opening round. With that selection, Houston drafts Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson. “If you have a bunch of those guys that are available when you pick, you entertain trade-down offers, far enough that you can still get one of those top guys”. Here’s something else to think about – no matter who the Steelers draft Thursday, he probably will not help them much in 2017 if he plays on defense.

Other teams in the top six are the Bears at No. 3, who will likely draft a defensive back, and have will have a tough pick ahead of them with numerous options such as Malik Hooker, Marshon Lattimore, and Jamal Adams, who are all ready to start on an National Football League defense.

Jamal Adams, Safety, Louisiana State University: An Associated Press All-American, Adams is widely considered the best safety in this year’s draft. UCLA’s Fabian Moreau and USC’s Adoree’ Jackson are widely regarded as early-round picks, too. Mayock has been the lead draft analysis for the NFL Network since 2005. He said he is even willing to trade up. They’re the two biggest reasons the big plays occur.

“So there are a lot of pretty-looking guys that run fast forward in shorts”. Garett Bolles, i think he comes in and conpetes at right tackle day one.

“Quarterback is the thinnest position in all of sports and the toughest job”. Another draft prospect possibility is the quarterback Mitch Trubisky of North Carolina.

The 2017 NFL Draft kicks off Thursday night in Philadelphia with the Browns now holding 11 draft picks – including the No. 1 selection overall and a second first-round pick, now No. 12.

“They’ve made a lot of mistakes at the quarterback position over the last several years”, Mayock said.

“The NFL hasn’t said which astronauts will announce the picks, but Commander Peggy Whitson, who is on her record-setting 535th day in space, is a Rice graduate and would make the most sense”. He is a difference maker in all facets of the defensive game.

The Eagles picked Jay Berwanger, a running back from the University of Chicago, as the first pick in the draft.

LSU’s Leonard Fournette has been thought to be a lock to be the first running back taken in the draft, but that may not be the case anymore.

Here are the three quarterbacks worth taking a chance on in Round 1.

Coach-turned-ESPN analyst Jon Gruden isn’t sure which way the Panthers should go in that regard.
