This mock draft is a great example of just how unpredictable the first two rounds of this draft will be. It might seem unreasonable for Georgia offensive tackle Broderick Jones to make it to pick No. 17 or to get Alabama safety Brian Branch to make it to the second round but there’s nothing unreasonable about how these picks play out.
If the Steelers could get Jones, Branch and then still get Kansas State edge rusher Felix Anudike-Uzomah, this would be an A+ draft. There still plenty of draft left to pick up depth at cornerback and linebacker which aren’t the priorities of these three positions.
