I used the PFF simulator to get a different draft board. Three attempts. PFF hates all my drafts and all my picks.
DRAFT 1
1.17 Paris Johnson, OT, Ohio State
Johnson is built like a prototypical left tackle. I don't know if he's a guy who can step in and play at a high level, but he should have a high upside.
2.32 Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn State
Value too good to pass up at this point. Big, physical defender will fit in well.
2.48 Mazi Smith, IDL, Michigan
Big presence for the defensive line.
3.80 Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee
Adding some needed speed for the offense.
DRAFT 2
1.17 Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon
Great size and reportedly excellent athleticism. Potential playmaker at corner.
2.32 Siaki Ika, DL, Baylor
Every year there is a defensive lineman everyone wants the Steelers to draft. Ika is that guy this year, which guarantees they won't take him.
2.48 Jack Campbell, ILB, Iowa
I don't think he will wow anyone at the combine, but he's just a good football player. That's what this this team needs at ILB.
3.80 Sedrick Van Pran, IOL, Georgia
I didn't intend to draft defense, it's just how it worked out. Trying to upgrade the interior depth with the eye on starting in 2024.
DRAFT 1
1.17 Trenton Simpson, ILB, Clemson
I don't want to go ILB in the first, but he's an electric athlete for the position and with thumpers like Spillane and Robinson, he may have the opportunity to shine.
2.32 Anton Harrison, OT, Oklahoma
Grabbing the best available tackle.
2.48 Gervin Dexter, IDL, Florida
He's huge and moves well for his size, which should allow him to play multiple positions along the defensive line.
1.17 Trenton Simpson, ILB, Clemson
I don't want to go ILB in the first, but he's an electric athlete for the position and with thumpers like Spillane and Robinson, he may have the opportunity to shine.
2.32 Anton Harrison, OT, Oklahoma
Grabbing the best available tackle.
3.80 Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College
Pretty good speed, has the ability after the catch. Feels like a Steelers receiver.
