2018 NFL Mock Draft: Pittsburgh Steelers Select LB Leighton Vander Esch at No. 28

With the 28th pick of the 2018 DBN Community NFL Mock Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select...

Leighton Vander Esch, ILB, Boise St

The selection and write-up were made by xfl2001fan:

At 6’4, 256lbs, LVE posted nearly identical numbers at the combine as Steelers Rookie standout TJ Watt. In his final season as a Bronco, LVE was productive rushing the passer, playing in coverage, stopping the run...he is still a bit raw, but has solid instincts. Having played at Boise State, he’s comfortable in a 3-4 alignment and should have few problems transitioning to their defense.
