This week?s update for the Pittsburgh Steelers 2013 7 round NFL mock draft is going to be a little different. For one thing this will include the additional 6th round pick the Steelers were awarded as part of the compensatory pick system. An additional 6th round pick will be added, and in a draft this deep there could be a very nice player available.
The NFL draft is only five weeks away, but what is normally a time when the picture of which players and positions each of the 32 franchises are targeting is becoming more clear it seems this year there is less and less consensus about who the top players are, so making any predictions becomes much more problematic.
As far as the Steelers go, there are a few players we have heard about their interest in. First is Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray who the entire Steelers staff has spent some time courting. This included a night before pro day dinner with Bray and their full attention during his workouts. Bray is a fascinating prospect who could be the long-term replacement for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
Another player the Steelers seem to have more than a casual interest in is Florida State defensive end Tank Carradine. After showing up at the scouting combine looking very fit and healthy after suffering a late season knee injury, he would certainly fill a void as a pass rushing outside linebacker should they choose to draft him.
This version of the mock is going to be a dream draft for me. Less about projections and players of potential interest. This is going to be the players I?d most like to see become Steelers. The eight players who I think would make the best new members of the Steelers. So without further ado, here?s the latest mock draft.
