Chad Reuter of NFL.com delivered his new four-round mock draft on Friday, and as usual, it got somewhat wild down the stretch. However, the Steelers have five picks in the initial four rounds, including four Top-100 choices. By and large, the draft tended to numerous necessities. They landed Duke hostile lineman Graham Barton in the main round, Oregon wide beneficiary Troy Franklin in the subsequent round, Missouri hostile tackle Javon Encourage with their most memorable pick in the third round, and afterward completed out the draft with Colorado State edge rusher Mo Kamara and Michigan cornerback Mike Sainristil. In the past, Barton played left tackle and center, but in 2020, he played center. That is just a single year of involvement, however most groups say Barton will move inside. The Steelers are probably not going to draft a person who will project as a gatekeeper, so on the off chance that they draft Barton, it will be on the grounds that they view him as an inside hostile lineman or accept he can stick it out at tackle. He’s a gifted, smooth mover. Furthermore, Barton, with the entirety of his experience, has become one of the more cleaned players in this class. You can contrast him intimately with Northwestern’s Peter Skoronski from the 2023 NFL Draft. Bo Nix, on the other hand, preferred Franklin as a target. A rapid recipient who could play inside and outside, Franklin did a large portion of his work making those hazardous plays, winning down the field, and making individuals miss to make those plays. Most of those players could possess all the necessary qualities, yet particularly Sainristil. Tony Pauline says that the Steelers were one of a few teams to meet the impressive Michigan slot cornerback before his pro day on Friday. However, it adds to the growing list of people who are interested in Sainristil, making him one of the Steelers’ potential options for the position. The Steelers’ just pick that doesn’t seem OK is Kamara. While a decent player who accommodates their model, that pick appears to be likelier to be a cautious lineman as opposed to an edge rusher.
