On their weekly Steeler mock draft tracker recap video, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko analyze projections for the team's first-round pick from across the internet.
Where does Ole Miss DT Walter Nolen fit into the pecking order at DT? Would the Steelers be happy with Nolen, Michigan's Kenneth Grant or Oregon's Derrick Harmon at No. 21 overall? And are there any other names that belong in that group, such as Shemar Turner of Texas A&M or Deone Walker of Kentucky?
Our duo tackles those questions, then talks running backs. How high should North Carolina's Omarion Hampton be on the big board for coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan? Is his bruising style to similar to that of Najee Harris? Where is Iowa's Kaleb Johnson fit into the conversation? And how do they compare to other top names such as Boise State's Ashton Jeanty and Ohio State's Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson?
Later, Adam and Brian weigh in on some other noteworthy picks for the Steelers this week. Is Ohio State's Emeka Egbuka the favorite to be the Steelers' pick as we enter the NFL combine and pro day portions of evaluation season? And does the Buckeyes' Will Howard have the intangibles to be an option for the Steelers at QB?
