The Pittsburgh Steelers are facing a crucial draft decision in two weeks as they prepare to pick during the first round of the NFL draft.
With the Steelers holding the 21st pick and still uncertain about whether Aaron Rodgers will return for another season, they might consider drafting a quarterback at that spot. However, if they believe Rodgers will come back for one more year, there’s a chance they could draft someone to protect him. CBS Sports' Jordan Dajani shared a mock draft on Saturday, which had the Steelers selecting Alabama's left tackle, Kadyn Proctor, in the first round.
"Kadyn Proctor is a massive human at 6-foot-7 and 352 pounds. He's also a great athlete who could start immediately at guard for Pittsburgh if not at left tackle," Dajani wrote. Proctor spent three seasons at Alabama, appearing in 40 games.
Dane Brugler from The Athletic released his draft guide, "The Beast," on Wednesday, ranking Proctor as the 19th overall prospect and the fourth-best offensive tackle. "Proctor is big, strong and explosive, which is an exciting foundation for an offensive lineman, but that optimism should be curbed until his discipline and technique catch up," Brugler wrote. "He has starting-caliber upside at left tackle, although some teams believe moving to guard would be best for his pro career.
