Steelers Draft: Depth & Talent

0:00From the Daily News Now Network, this is NFL News Today. Subscribe to Keep Up With Every Headline, Every Game. The Pittsburgh Steelers are projected to have 12 draft picks this year, and one mock scenario sees them keeping every single one to build, much needed depth across the roster. Under new head coach Mike McCarthy's offensive vision, they start strong in round 1, pick 21, grabbing wider receiver Omar Cooper from, Indiana. This guy racked up nearly 500 yards after the catch last season, and scored 13 touchdowns while helping his team to a national title. Moving to Round 2, pick 53, they add safety AJ. Halsey from LSU, a ball-hawk with 8 picks over 2 years, who could pair nicely with the Sean Elliott. Round 3 brings Garkeel and Rutledge from Georgia Tech, for line help amid questions at the position, followed by a bold swing at quarterback Drew. Aller, from Penn State at Pick 85. Aller brings mobility and upside, even if his stock dipped after an injury.

1:03Fans might love how these early choices shore up the secondary and passing game, giving flexibility to shift players like Jalen Ramsey back to corner. The picks address longstanding depth issues, especially on offense and defense while betting on McCarthy's track record with young talent. After rounds keep the momentum with another receiver, Jacoby Lane from USC in Round 4, plus an offensive tackle, linebacker Aiden Fisher from, Indiana in corner, Domani Jackson. They even snag a fullback from Navy, and double up a quarterback with tailing green in Round 7, wrapping with punter Jack Stonehouse from Syracuse. To boost special teams, overall, this mock paints a roster reborn with fresh legs and skill, prioritizing immediate contributors and long-term projects without trading away. Any selections?
