Trusting the algorithm is always a mixed bag but this one turned out rock solid. The fanbase would be elated to see former Penn State cornerback Joey Porter Jr. in the first round and getting offensive tackle Anton Harrison in the second fills the Steelers biggest need.
Interestingly the simulation opted for a second offensive tackle but it must have as little faith in Dan Moore and Chuks Okorafor as we do. Jokes aside, Matthew Bergeron is an excellent physical player and a bargain.
Overall, it’s hard to find much wrong with this mock draft. Let us know in your comments what you think of these picks.
