Some non-steeler rookies i want to see. Aside from the PSU guys
Quinyon Mitchell CB Eagles - I was very high on him. I like the Fautanu pick but you can argue that getting a lockdown CB to pair with Porter would be more of an impact.
Cooper Dejean CB/S Eagles - Same as Mitchell, I was very high on him and he could have made a huge impact for the steelers at S or slot CB. He just has a nose for the ball. Minkah has been handcuffed having to cover up for weaknesses elsewhere in the secondary. Dejean could have also lifted Minkah by freeing him up to be more of a playmaker.
Graham Barton G/C Bucs - Were the steelers right in waiting for Frazier? I think Frazier will be good but if he fizzles out then passing on Barton could have been a big whiff
Xavier Worthy Wr KC - fastest time ever at the combine. The bills see KC as a Super Bowl rival. Bills needed WR as did the chiefs and Buf gave them Worthy by trading with them here. So not only did you pass on Worthy, you gave him to your biggest obstacle. Bills are pretty much betting he's a bust. Will Worthy be another speed guy who busts as a WR or will he be the Tyreek Hill the Chiefs have missed the last few years?
Keon Coleman WR Buf - flip side of the worthy deal. After giving Worthy to KC, two more WRs Pearsall and Legette came off the board before Buf got Coleman at 2.01. Buf let Diggs go and have a lot pinned on Coleman contributing right away.
Ricky Pearsall WR SF - if he shows up like Puka Nacua then SF may look to trade Aiyuk or Debo. Debo struggles to get open but he's physical and would fit in Smith's offense.
JJ McCarthy QB Minn - this is one of the luckiest dudes in the world. His job at Michigan was super easy. Handoff and complete play action passes to wide open guys. He's tough to evaluate because he didn't have to do much and didn't face much adversity. When he did have to pass a lot he threw his share of pick sixes. Now he lands in Minnesota which is again one of the easier QB jobs in the NFL. Good OL, good system and great weapons Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and TJ Hockenson.
Caleb Williams QB Bears - has all the talent in the world. Is he tough enough? WIll he cry and cuddle his dog when things go wrong?
