29. Pittsburgh Steelers- Quenton Nelson, OG, Notre Dame

A close look at the Pittsburgh Steelers roster will show a team that doesn’t have a glaring need. In fact, they actually have solid depth at every position. This means they can take the best player available approach in the draft.

In this mock, Quenton Nelson would be one of the players that make sense. He’s a road-grader who excels at opening running lanes. His addition would help make Le’Veon Bell even more effective.

30. Atlanta Falcons- Da’Shawn Hand, DL, Alabama

The Atlanta Falcons were fortunate that Dontari Poe was willing to take a 1-year prove it deal to join their team. His size and strength has helped boost their run defense. However, he will be looking for a bigger contract in the offseason.

Atlanta could look to the draft to find another run-stuffing defensive lineman. Alabama’s Da’Shawn Hand is a physical player who could fit that mold.

31. Green Bay Packers- Jamarco Jones, OT, Ohio State

The Green Bay Packers are yet again dealing with multiple injuries along the offensive line. Bryan Bulaga is one of those players who always seem to be nursing an injury. They are lucky to have an athlete like Aaron Rodgers at quarterback.

Adding someone like Jamarco Jones would add more depth to the offensive line and combat the injury bug.

32. Buffalo Bills (via KC)- Harold Landry, Edge, Boston College

I’m not completely solid on Harold Landry being an elite prospect. He flashes plenty of upside, but has stretches were he disappears. The thing working in his favor is that teams are always looking for someone with pass rush potential.

His quickness off the edge would give the Buffalo Bills another element to their defense. A unit that has looked very strong so far this season.
