Steelers NFL mock draft tracker: Watch OT Troy Fautanu? Cooper DeJean's stock as hot as ever?
On their weekly NFL mock draft tracker video, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko discuss the week's most interesting projected picks for the team from around the Internet. This week they get into some offensive line talk. Could the undersized Troy Fautanu of Washington use his athleticism to win a tackle spot in Arthur Smith's offense that's heavily geared toward zone run concepts? Or is NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah off in projecting him to the Steelers. Could Duke's Graham Barton or Arkansas' Beaux Limmer fill the need at center? Or is their lack of history at the position a concern there? Later, they give their thoughts on Iowa CB Cooper DeJean's status as a red-hot pick for the Steelers. Does he need to show his speed at Pro Day after likely skipping testing at the NFL combine? Or does he have enough solid tape for the GM Omar Khan to trust him as this draft's Brian Branch, now of Detroit? And how do mock draft picks this week including Ohio State's Michael Hall Jr., Iowa State's T.J. Tampa and Maryland's Beau Brade fit with coach Mike Tomlin's needs? Our duo tackles those questions and more.
