3 stand out as the Steelers pick in summarizing mock drafts

PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – With the time before the draft now counted in hours, here is a look at where the most popular mock drafts show the Steelers selecting with pick 21 overall. It also includes who was picked 20th and 22nd as an idea of who was taken off the board right before and who was still available.

We surveyed 20 mock drafts from national outlets and three different players had the same number of votes (5) as the Steelers pick

·     QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
·     QB Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss
·     DL Derrick Harmon, Oregon

A pair selected South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori while Michigan DL Kenneth Grant, Ole Miss DL Walter Nolen and Texas A&M edge rusher Shemar Stewart each got one vote.
