Now that the Steelers have added two more new players from the college ranks in the form of Pat Freiermuth and Kendrick Green. I recognize that my picks of C Creed Humphrey and OT Jackson Carman were way off. But that’s fine, I will try again. With welcoming a new tight end and center, the mock has been updated again to reflect the hot pickin’ action of Day 2. Hopefully, I will get one pick correct.

Here’s what we got...enjoy.

Round 4, Pick 128

ILB Jabril Cox - LSU

The three-time National Champ at North Dakota State transferred to LSU and established himself as a thumper with a great blend of size and speed. There’s definite three-down potential when it comes to Cox and he would be a great successor to Vince Williams.

Round 4, Pick 140

CB Trill Williams - Syracuse

The Syracuse product is a physical corner with excellent size and speed. Williams is tough in coverage and is equally strong against the run. The 6’2” Trill could help fill voids left by Mike Hilton and Steven Nelson in the secondary.

Round 6, Pick 216

OT Alaric Jackson - Iowa

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: OCT 07 Illinois at Iowa

At nearly 6’6“ and 318 lbs., Jackson is a long-tenured, physical specimen at the offensive lineman factory that is Iowa. Alaric does a pretty good job of keeping defenders in front of him. Should he develop a nasty streak, Alaric Jackson could eventually start at LT for the Steelers.

Round 7, Pick 245

EDGE Chris Rumph - Duke

Rumph, one of the most solid pass rushers in the history of the Duke football program is a situational pass rusher that can add depth to the Steelers on the EDGE.

Round 7, Pick 254

DT Tedarrell Slaton - Florida

Impressive size at 360 lbs., Slaton gets great leverage and strength in the trenches and could be a developmental NT for the Steelers.
