Steelers land Joshua Kaindoh in 2021 NFL Mock Draft.

Round 7, Pick 208: Joshua Kaindoh, EDGE FSU

The Florida State Seminoles struggled mightily as a football team in 2020. However, there was some serious talent on that disappointing 3-6 team. One of those gifted players is a monster defensive end, Joshua Kaindoh. Kaindoh is a 6-foot-7, 265-pound redshirt junior who can play inside and out on the defensive line.

His versatility should be a sizable boon for his NFL Draft stock even though Kaindoh took a step back stats-wise in 2020. Kaindoh did not record a sack in 2020 after only recording one in an injury-plagued 2019 season. Kaindoh displayed tremendous promise during his first two seasons in Tallahassee and has enough talent to be worth the gamble here in the seventh round.

Round 7, Pick 211: Ed Ingram, OG LSU

Every single year it seems like the LSU Tigers pour legitimate talent into the NFL Draft. This year is no exception with the entry of offensive guard, Ed Ingram. Ingram is another mauling interior prospect that stepped in this season to replace Damien Lewis, a 2020 NFL Draft pick of the Seattle Seahawks.

Ingram made three starts in 2019 and 15 total before the beginning of the 2020 season. He is experienced and adept as both a run and pass blocker upfront. His talent, size, and experience make Ingram a top-five player at the position. He could be selected as early as the third round, although his previous suspension in 2019 could affect his NFL Draft stock in April.
