USAToday Steelers Mock for Jan 25, 2023

https://steelerswire.usatoday.com/lists/steelers-nfl-2023-mock-draft/

First round-DT Bryan Bresee, Clemson

Second round-OT Anton Harrison, Oklahoma

Second round-WR Jalin Hyatt, Tennessee

Third round-CB Kyu Blu Kelly, Stanford

Fourth round-LB DeMarvion Overshown

Seventh round-EDGE Thomas Incoom, Central Michigan

Seventh round-QB Max Duggan, TCU

 

I doubt Hyatt will be there in the second round, he will probably be one of the fastest receivers in the draft.

 

I admit I do not know much about a lot of college players. However, I did like the 7th round flyer on Max Duggan as a long term backup for Pickett.

 

You talk about a big man with speed. Bresee is 6'5", weighs 310 and runs a 4.7 forty.

 

I like some of the picks,but not When they are taken.

 

My money still says the Steelers will shock the world and not draft a WR.

Both JuJu and Washington are on the open market again this offseason.

 

Why aren't we drafting a NT? Isn't that a much bigger need than another DT.

Give me Mazi Smith in the 2nd round. I think we can get both Joey and Mazi on day 2.

 

NT is the thing of the past. On most defensive snaps the Steelers usually only have 2 down defensive tackles and then one of the outside linebackers will sometimes go down…..time times they only run with two.

The era of the traditional base defense is long gone.

 

No production!

 

i'd like to see a free agent like andrew billings possibly brought in for the defensive line.

 

Not sure of the picks, but do like the positions that are being looked at.

 

billings played last year at about 1.8 mil. i would like to see an offer around 4-5 mil. range. could possibly get him in here.

 

Bresee is going to fall. He wasn't nearly as good this year, and a lot of sites say he got fat. And as was mentioned earlier, his production was way down.

 

I watched something where his sister had some form of brain cancer and passed away. Such a bummer to hear about.

Pulling for him.

 

I know the Bresee family. What they went through losing a 15 year old daughter/sister to a year long battle with brain cancer was devastating to everyone in our community. Bryan had a health issue (minor, but it lingered) going on as well. I'd forget about this past season and look at what he did previously. Would I take him at 17? Probably not but I would jump at 32 if he falls that far.

 

That's terrible to hear. My nephew is fighting cancer, and I know it's taking a lot out of the family.

 

Prayers for them. It's hard on everyone.

 

I'm absolutely rooting for the guy. I hate to say it, but that story makes me not want the Steelers to draft him, not after what happened with Tuitt.

 

Playing in the NFL is his dream. He's ready to ball.
