NFL.com Editor Has Steelers Taking Cooper DeJean: ‘Made For Today’s NFL’

By and large, the consensus for the Pittsburgh Steelers is that they’ll take an offensive lineman at 20th overall in the upcoming NFL draft. However, Jason La Canfora earlier this week discussed the possibility of a corner for the Steelers in the first round. It does make a degree of sense. But what if the name is versatile DB Cooper DeJean?

That’s who deputy editor at NFL.com Gennaro Filice thinks the Steelers could take. Filice released the 2.0 version of his mock draft on Thursday, and he tabbed DeJean as the Steelers’ pick.

“I’m bullish on the versatile defensive back ultimately being a top-20 pick,” Filice wrote.
