The further we got outside of the Top 10 in mock drafts, the less we talked about trades but that didn’t mean there wasn’t a certain level of intrigue for teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers. It’s always exciting when an iconic team has a slew of draft needs as you never know when the next great Steeler legend is being added to the team.

There’s no saying he’ll be a Steelers legend, but Pittsburgh ended up drafting Shazier from Ohio State with the No. 15 overall pick.

The pick makes a lot of sense for the Steelers as it gives them someone who can fill a big hole on the roster that they needed shored up in the long haul.
