The addition of linebacker Mark Barron in free agency was fine, as it certainly allows the Steelers to get more flexible picking the top talent here with their first pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. But, if a player like Devin Bush were to fall to this range, though a linebacker, I think he would be the wise choice.

With the departure of Antonio Brown, the Steelers are going to have to use one of their Top 100 picks on an offense weapon. You can’t replace the best wide receiver in the game with a rookie, but you have to at least replace his option in the offense.

Bush’s draft stock has been rising throughout the offseason, and his Combine performance showed he’s just as much of an athlete as Devin White – who many regard as a Top 10 pick – yet Bush might have even more traits and intangibles some teams will gravitate towards. He's an instant starter at middle linebacker.

Samuel gives the Steelers the flexibility to mix and match their receivers inside and out like they did when they had Brown. Though Samuel is smaller, his skillset would still allow for the Steelers to play Juju Smith-Schuster in the slot.

Round 3, Pick No. 66: Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple

Cornerback could very well be the top need for this Steelers team, and so they could stand to address it with one of their previous two picks higher in the draft. But, if they don’t, and if a player like Rock Ya-Sin is available in the 60’s, they’ll be fortunate and shouldn’t hesitate.

Ya-Sin’s strong, lanky body type gives him a natural preference to the kind of face-up man-to-man style of coverage the Steelers like to play.

Round 3, Pick No. 83: Zach Allen, EDGE, Boston College

Edge isn’t the biggest need for this Steelers team, but they could certainly stand to add some talent there within the first three rounds, if they can get the right guy. Allen is a bit of a tweener due to his body type and limited flexibility around the edge. That’s why he likely won’t go too much higher than this, at least I think, but that sort of plays into the multiple line formations the Steelers like to run. Like I said, the fact that it’s not a dire need means Allen can come in with a specific rotation and not have to play in a spot his body and skillset does not agree with.

Round 4, Pick No. 122: Josh Oliver, TE, San Jose State

The quest to replenish the Steelers offense after Antonio Brow’s departure won’t just – or shouldn’t just – stop with one rookie wide receiver.

I know the Steelers prefer bigger guys who are more all-around tight ends, but Oliver can be a receiving offensive weapon they don’t really have right now. I like the idea of them getting more diverse to make up for the loss of AB.

Round 5, Pick No. 141: Sheldrick Redwine, S, Miami

Sean Davis, Terrell Edmunds and Morgan Burnett man the safety rotation right now for the Steelers, and you can throw Marcus Allen in there, as well. But, as a safety who has a cornerback background, Redwine would be a good hybrid player to move around the back of the defensive back depth chart.

Round 6, Pick No. 175: Jalen Hurd, WR, Baylor

Remember how I said I liked the idea of the Steelers getting bigger to try to get more diverse in their quest to replace Antonio Brown’s offensive production? Well, they did so earlier with Josh Oliver at tight end, now they would be wise to do so if they can snatch up Hurd late in the draft.

Hurd is raw in his craft as a wide receiver, but showed a ton of upside in his only year at the position in 2018.

Round 6, Pick No. 192: Armon Watts, iDL, Arkansas

Watts isn’t the best athlete you’ll find in the defensive line ground this year, but his four years at Arkansas taught him how to win technically with good leverage, nice hand usage and a variety of pass rush moves from an interior spot.

Round 7, Pick No. 207: Mike Weber, RB, Ohio State

Though the Steelers technically aren’t losing Le’Veon Bell this year since they didn’t have him last year, they technically are losing Le’Veon Bell this year due to him officially no longer being on the team – see how there’s always a get-out-of-jail-free card in draft analysis?

Weber would be a nice offensive depth piece for the Steelers, even if they’re fine there for now.

Round 7, Pick No. 219: Jamal Peters, CB, Mississippi State

This would be the third defensive back taken in this draft haul, but the seventh round is there for you to take risks. Take a player of Peters’ size and speed and see what you can do with him.
