The Pittsburgh Steelers made a huge splash at the trade deadline when they send wide receiver Chase Claypool to the Chicago Bears in exchange for the Bears’ second-round pick. In honor of that move, we decided to update our full seven-round mock draft to include that extra pick.

John Michael Schmitz is a huge interior offensive lineman who plays much more athletic than his body type would indicate. An exceptional puller, Schmitz can play center or guard at the next level.

 

Third round-WR Zay Flowers, Boston College

Pittsburgh always finds a way to snatch up sleeper receivers in the middle rounds. Zay Flowers is a threat to score every time he touches the football and plays bigger than he is.

Fourth round-CB Tyrique Stevenson, Miami

A transfer player from Georgia, Tyrique Stevenson is a long, athletic press cornerback who plays with supreme confidence.

Seventh round-EDGE Jordan Domineck, Arkansas

Domineck is a productive outside pass rusher with enough athleticism to chase and tackle but needs time in an NFL strength program.

Seventh round-RB Eric Gray, Oklahoma

Violent back with elite explosion and excellent top-end speed.
