pittsburgh steelers. 30. team. 55. The Pittsburgh Steelers went into the draft with an explosive offense and a young, improving defense. So they got a little bit of everything, starting with OLB T.J. Watt in the first round. Watt converted to OLB from TE so he’s still developing with this best football ahead of him. <p>In Round 2, the Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, a big-bodied WR that has a large catch radius. Martavis Bryant was just reinstated from his suspension so we’ll see how much Schuster plays. The one WR that I know will start is Antonio Brown but beyond that, I can’t be too sure.</p> <p>In Round 3 the Steelers get themselves a CB from this deep class in Cameron Sutton. At 5’11”, 188 pounds Smith is fluid with loose hips and quick feet to change direction quickly. I’m not sure when Sutton plays either but he looks like he’ll be a slot-CB when he does.</p> <p>The rest of this draft is depth for the Steelers with fourth-round QB Joshua Dobbs a possible QB of the future. The AFC North is getting tough but the Steelers should be the favorites to win it this year. And we will be talking about Watt emerging at some point in the 2017 season</p>. — A.
