2020 Steelers 7 Round Mock Draft

By Barb Layton

My thoughts on the Steelers 2019 campaign. Where do I start. Most likely with their strength. The defense. With their defense the strength was with the pass rush of T.J. Watt and Bud Dupree. They did not need to worry about the secondary as they did in pass years with the additions of Steven Nelson (CB) and Minkah Fitzpatrick (S).

Turning to the offense with the quarterback carousel from week-to-week. The inexperience of the skilled position on offense namely quarterbacks, wide receivers and running backs with the injuries to the tight end position. With the run game you did not know if it would be power run from the I-formation, power strong, strong formation, or your finesse run game out of the shotgun, pistol and wildcat. Turning to the offensive line it showed its strong suit in the interior but the both Tackle spots seemed to be a weakness from week-to-week. This is my first mock draft for the Steelers this year.

Round 1 Pick 49 Jacob Eason, QB Washington

Round 3 Pick 102 Van Jefferson, WR Florida

Round 4 Pick 121 Kenny Willekes, EDGE Michigan State

Round 4 Pick 132 Trey Adams, OT Washington

Round 6 Pick 198 Adrian Killins, RB Central Florida

Round 7 Pick 232 Brian Cole, S Mississippi State

2020 Browns 7 Round Mock Draft

By Barb Layton

The Browns on paper looked like the team to beat in the AFC North. In reality they had a few glaring holes starting with the Head Coach Freddie Kitchens. They had no clear path to what they were trying to accomplish. Baker Mayfield looked like he had made progress in his first season but he showed that he made some progress in his 2nd season with an offense that had no clear direction as to whether it was a pass first offense or a running attack. The running game was a blessing with Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. This is my first mock draft for the Browns this year.

Round 1 Pick 10 Josh Jones, OT Houston

Round 2 Pick 41 Julian Okwara, EDGE Notre Dam

Round 3 Pick 74 Jordyn Brooks, LB Texas Tech

Round 3Pick 90 Antoine Winfield, S Minnesota

Round 4Pick 112 Kalisa Lipscomb, WR Vanderbilt

Round 6 Pick 187 Josiah Scott, CB Michigan State

Round 7 Mitchell Wilcox, TE South Florida
