2020 NFL Draft: Latest positional rankings show plenty of options for the Steelers

As the 2020 NFL Draft approaches Pittsburgh Steelers fans tend to get depressed. The reality of not having a first round pick can be depressing, even if they received an All-Pro player like Minkah Fitzpatrick in return for that first round pick.

What fans should realize is there is still plenty of talent in the pool for the Steelers to consider, even if their first pick isn’t until the second round. NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks recently released his latest positional rankings, Top 5 at every position, and you quickly realize the Steelers will still have options.

It all comes down to positional needs for the black-and-gold. It is a safe assumption the following positions could be targets for the Steelers with their top pick.

Steelers team needs, in no particular order:

Running Back
Wide Receiver
Offensive Guard
Offensive Tackle
Tight End
Center

Once you look at the positions of need, and take a look at the rankings below, you have to see there will be plenty of players still on the board when the Steelers pick No. 18 in the second round.

Looking at the aforementioned positions, and then at the rankings below, who do you think will be available when the Steelers make their first pick of the draft, and which players would you like them to target?
