Mike McCarthy's Steelers vision taking shape in latest mock draft originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The Pittsburgh Steelers are a fascinating watch as the NFL Draft approaches, with the franchise in flux at the quarterback position.

With Aaron Rodgers still not giving an indication as to what his plans are, some mock drafts have the Steelers taking Ty Simpson in the first-round. Others have the Steelers going defense or offensive line to help fortify both sides of the ball for Mike McCarthy. But given he's an offensive-minded coach, the Steelers could look to give McCarthy more weapons to work with.

And for NFL. com's Mike Band, that's exactly what he does in his latest mock, with receiver Denzel Boston coming to the AFC North. "Pittsburgh can justify going offensive line here, but with Mike McCarthy now shaping the offense and the Steelers still looking for another long-term answer in the receiver room, Boston feels like a logical pivot," Band wrote .

"He gives them a big, physical outside target who can win through contact and complement DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. without forcing the offense to change its identity.
