Every year, we put together a pretty comprehensive list of Steelers picks in mock drafts around the web. We’re admittedly not draft experts and don’t claim to know the inside scoop on hundreds of college players. Fortunately, there are plenty of people who do and they can be found below in our list of 2012 Steelers mock draft picks.
Most experts are focused on Dont’a Hightower and Dontari Poe for the Steelers come pick 24. Offensive line is probably the team’s biggest need at this point, but if guys like Mike Adams are already selected I’d be happy to see Poe or Hightower holding up a Steelers uniform.
