Steelers Draft Rumors: Top 10 Round 1 Draft Targets, According To Mel Kiper Jr. Ft. Terrion Arnold (youtube.com)

 

4 corners, 3 WR's and 3 OT's on Kiper's list. That must be the 3 positions the Steelers are targeting in the first round according to Kiper.

 

Do not believe for a second they would take Xavier Worthy over Fuaga, Wiggins, or Arnold. Worthy was a late second/early third before he blazed at the combine. We're not the Raiders or the Bengals. Didn't work out for either of them.

 

I hate this one... 9. Nate Wiggins (CB, Clemson | MEL’S RANK: 23RD) -

Nate Wiggins is 6'1" and weighs 173 pounds at the combine. By comparison that is about the same weight as Calvin Austin and 5" taller.

It is funny Clemson had him down as 6'2 and 185 pounds. I would assume he was allowed to weigh in carry a couple dumbbells suited up in his game uniform with his cleats and helmet on.

 

If you look at Mels list the players are listed by Mels Big Board rating, not how the Steelers or Mel would rank them for the Steelers 1 - 10.
