Steelers Draft Needs
OT, OG, CB
Need new bodies on the offensive line.
31. Pittsburgh Steelers Select: Cameron Heyward
The big defensive teams continue to add on defense as defensive end Cameron Heyward will help the Steelers right away. He can move around for this team and give them added pass rush. Good pick for the Steelers, now lets get some offensive line.
Draft Grade: B
63. Offensive Tackle Marcus Gilbert
Nice pick for the Steelers as he gives them some youth on the offensive line. The Steelers to a good job of developing talent and Gilbert needs that but has big time upside.
95. Cornerback Curtis Brown
128. Defensive Back Cortez Allen
162. Defensive Lineman Chris Carter
196. Offensive Lineman Keith Williams
232. Running Back Baron Batch
