BTSC Steelers Mock Draft Monday: Fan Rules edition
The fan’s have spoken, lets see what they had in store for me with this BTSC Steelers Mock Draft Monday special.
Welcome back to another Behind the Steel Curtain Mock Draft Monday. I hope all of you had an enjoyable weekend. Every Monday, we’ve been providing you with new and original mock drafts from BTSC staff members, and that will continue right up until the week of the draft.
As we’ve been taking these in turns, this will be my last mock draft until April 20, just three days before Night One of the NFL Draft. Knowing this, I made a post in The Feed last week asking the community members of BTSC to come up with and vote for a scenario they wanted to see play out, or a specific rule about the mock I had to follow. Our winning submission comes from AmpersandSteel : Don’t use a simulator and actually go off where you believe players will be available.
In terms of position, I’d say: LT (developmental) LG (potential day one starter) QB (toolsy) WR (potential WR1) WR (foil for the above; i. e. smaller slot + bigger outside option) ILB (partner for Queen/Wilson) CB (developmental outside CB) NCB (potential year one contributor) S (partner for Elliott/Brisker, under 24 y/o) DT (pass rusher) DT (run stuffer; can be combined with the above) OLB (depth: Stephen Daley) TE (high ceiling, developmental TE) Simple, really.
They just need to get better and younger everywhere. Not only did AmpersandSteel give me a rule to follow, but I was also provided a checklist to follow with archetype suggestions for the positions. Fortunately, I love a list, and having one heading into a mock is akin to some of the soundest advice I’ve ever received: Don’t go to the grocery store hungry.
