Breaking down 3 mock drafts for the Steelers 3 top needs

First round-EDGE Jaelan Phillips, Miami

Second round-C Landon Dickerson, Alabama

Third round-RB Kenneth Gainwell, Memphis

In terms of impact players, Phillips is a rare talent. Getting him to fall to the No. 24 pick would be a huge steal for Pittsburgh. His ability skill set is rare and could be an immediate impact rusher for the Steelers.

In the second round, Alabama center Landon Dickerson gives Pittsburgh their center for the next decade even if he cannot play much his rookie season. Fans love to talk about the top running backs, but Memphis back Kenneth Gainwell is a complete back who would never need to come off the field. Of the three scenarios, this might be the one I would prefer over the others, mainly because of getting Phillips.
