Steelers Paired With Popular Defensive Name In Mel Kiper Jr.’s First Mock Draft

With the 2022 NFL season winding down ahead of conference championship weekend, 28 of the 32 teams are fully in offseason mode at this point, including the Pittsburgh Steelers. With offseason mode comes free agency speculation and — my personal favorite — mock draft season.

Holding three picks in the top 50 of the 2023 NFL Draft, this draft cycle is shaping up to be a potentially transformative one for the black and gold under new GM Omar Khan and assistant GM Andy Weidl.

Holes along the defensive line, inside linebacker, and cornerback, as well as depth concerns elsewhere throughout the roster are present, but one seems to stand out above the rest — at least when it comes to the national media.
