Still, I think it would add 1 or 2 instant starters along the OL, Gainwell probably is probably the #1 back in a RB by committee approach, and everyone else is depth with the two CBs fighting it out for a starting opportunity. JOK could be a starter by mid year, but they have the luxury of a slow transition if needed. Overall, I think it balances near term needs (one last run with Big Ben) with long term building (taking a QB next year).
Through my research, I really don’t think the Steelers take a QB this year. They like Mac Jones and Kyle Trask, I just don’t think the board lets either of those two fall to a point where the Steelers would take them. The OL is also a mess, I think they rebuild it this year so that a future young QB has a chance succeeding. More likely than my draft below is the Steelers going OT, RB, and OC with their first 3 picks. I think something like LT Jenkins, RB Williams, OC Meinerz/Myers/Hill is their dream scenario.
R1.24: LB, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Notre Dame
R2.55: OT, Liam Eichenburg, Notre Dame
R3.87: CB, Shaun Wade, Ohio State
R4.128: RB, Kenneth Gainwell, Memphis
R4.140: OC/OG, Kendrick Green, Illinois
R6.216: DE/DT, Chauncey Golston, Iowa
R7.245: WR, Austin Watkins Jr., UAB
R7.254: CB, Zech McPhearson, Texas Tech
