New TD Wire mock draft has hits and misses for Steelers

Let’s take a look at the picks.

for the Steelers in the first round than Tennessee’s Darnell Wright and I’m here for it. He’s an elite right tackle prospect and could eventually slide to the left side.
Also, I have no qualms about Jack Campbell at No. 32. I’m not at all sold on Cole Holcomb and Elandon Roberts as the answer on the inside so getting Campbell makes perfect sense.
But the second pick in the second round is a bit of a head-scratcher. Landing O’Cyrus Torrence would definitely represent value but after signing Nate Herbig and Isaac Seumalo in free agency this pick isn’t really necessary. There are plenty of impact players who go after Torrence that would help the Steelers much more.
