One draft pick from yesterday got missed, so we’ll mention them today:
Pittsburgh Steelers
- LB Payton Wilson (third round, NC State)
The Steelers felt lucky to have Wilson fall to them in the draft, and they were right to. Initial draft rankings listed Wilson as the class’s fourth-best off-ball linebacker. The three ahead of him were the first three linebackers taken in the draft, but lower projected linebackers Ty’Ron Hoppper and Marist Liufau heard their names called before Wilson, as well. Not ones to look a gift horse in the mouth, Pittsburgh selected Wilson near the end of the third round.
He’s missing an entire ACL relax
He can have yours.
