ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. has a new one-round mock draft out and we want to know what you all think of the pick for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Kiper opted to give the Steelers former Maryland cornerback Deonte Banks in the first round. Here’s what Kiper had to say about the pick:
Cameron Sutton is out, veteran Patrick Peterson is in, but Pittsburgh’s biggest need hasn’t changed. It has to get younger — and faster — at cornerback. Banks matched Forbes’ 40-yard dash time (4.35) at the combine, and he did it 31 pounds heavier (though he measured 6-foot, two inches shorter than he was listed in college). His 2022 tape is one of the best I’ve seen in this class in terms of man coverage. He can shut down an entire side of the field. He’s a fit for Mike Tomlin’s defense.
