Pittsburgh Steelers full 2018 mock draft

The Steelers would love to have linebacker Tremaine Edmunds in the first round, but instead could look hard at landing his brother, talented safety Terrell Edmunds some time in the third.

Pittsburgh needs plenty of depth at safety heading into the 2018 season and if they don’t land one in the first two rounds, expect them to snatch one up in the third. While his younger brother gets most of the publicity as a potential top-15 pick, there’s no denying that Terrell is talented enough to start at the next level as well.

Edmunds has outstanding athleticism and posted some excellent numbers at the Combine last month, including a 41.5-inch vertical jump and 134 inches on the broad jump. His size (6-foot-2 and 220 pounds) allows him to line up all over the field, both deep in center field and near the line of scrimmage. Edmunds started his college career as a cornerback and has the quick-twitch movements and fluidity to be able to cover all kinds of receivers.

While he lacks the instincts of some of the other top safeties in the class, Edmunds has the athleticism that will immediately translate to the next level. Pairing him with Sean Davis could give the Steelers a dangerous young safety tandem as they head into next season.
