Pittsburgh Steelers (24th overall)

Of the teams on the list, the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be the most interesting and is probably the one team the Buffalo Bills would want to trade ahead of. The reason is that there are a number of positions that could draft a player that is similar to what the Bills would be targeting.

The Steelers are another team that could be looking at a cornerback as they have Joe Haden but not much else at the position. If a player like Farley or Greg Newsome II is on the board, this very well could be the selection.

Another position the Bills and Steelers could both be targeting is at running back as this is probably the earliest a running back could go with Najee Harris most likely being the selection. The Steelers lost James Conner in free agency and don’t necessarily have that featured back at the top of the depth chart.

What seems to be a theme here is that the Pittsburgh Steelers are another team that could be looking for help on the offensive line, particularly at tackle. They are expected to lose starting tackle Alejandro Villanueva in free agency as he reportedly is set to sign with the Baltimore Ravens.
