the Steelers on the move in Round 1 Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY SportsThe 2019 NFL
Draft is finally here, and as the NFL world turns their focus to Nashville,
Tennessee for the big event, fans¡¯ attention still focuses on the process of
trying to predict who their favorite team will select.For the Pittsburgh
Steelers, they have 10 total draft picks throughout the three day, 7 round
process. Most websites simply consist of showing who they think the team will
take in the first round, and maybe a two round mock draft, but there are a few
rare media personalities who will take a stab at a full 7-round prediction.The
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette¡¯s Ray Fittipaldo is one of those rogue journalists, and
put out his first full mock draft of the year. At this point these predictions
are just stabs in the dark. Great for conversation and debate, but that is about
it. Once the teams start heading to Pro Days, and host pre-draft visits, then
you will start to see the focus narrow on these type of prediction articles.For
the record, Fittipaldo goes into great detail on all of his selections, you can
read them all HERE, but out of respect to the work he did I will show his
explanation of just his first round pick.At this point, check out the full mock
draft below
Stephon
Tuitt Jersey , and feel free to let us know what you think of the haul in
the comment section below....It¡¯s been 13 years since the Steelers last traded
up in the first round of the draft. It¡¯s time they do it again to land Michigan
linebacker Devin Bush.The projected trade has the Steelers sending their
first-round pick (No. 20 overall) and second third-round pick (No. 84) to the
Redskins in return for No. 15, where they can select Bush.Bush (5-11, 234) has
rocketed up draft boards in the past few months thanks to a great combine
workout. He¡¯ll be coveted. The Bengals, who own the No. 11 pick, need a
linebacker to replace Vontaze Burfict and have been tied to Bush.But the Bengals
have a slew of needs other than linebacker, including offensive line, tight end
and maybe even quarterback. Don¡¯t forget: New Bengals coach Zac Taylor is an
offense-oriented coach from the Sean McVay coaching tree and will want to choose
his own quarterback at some point.The Redskins, meanwhile, will gladly take an
extra third-round pick in return for five spots in the draft. Other than
quarterback, their biggest need is corner and the value at corner is at the tail
end of the first round and second round and after.Why the Redskins? Well,
Carolina holds the 16th pick, and the Panthers are looking for a linebacker to
replace Thomas Davis. The Steelers might have to jump ahead to get their
three-down linebacker.The Steelers can afford to deal away a third-round pick
because they recouped an early third (No. 66 overall) as part of the Antonio
Brown trade. This deal allows the Steelers to address their biggest need while
keeping a pick in every subsequent round and three in the sixth to address their
other deficiencies.Here is the rest of my final seven-round mock draft. The
Steelers take six defensive players and three offensive players.2. S Darnell
