Not my comments but from another amateur draftnik talking about the fit for the Steelers.
Josh Allen Kentucky - top 5 pick
Germaine Pratt NC State - Is more of a OLB I feel but has the size and athletic ability they would want, is more of a 2nd rounder but will see
Tre Lamar Clemson - Could be of interest but more in the 2nd or 3rd round, big strong athlete but might not have the speed they really need.
Gary Johnson Texas - Would be a great pickup, speedy linebacker but not sure he could play ILB. Is great in open space and is the type of athlete they would want.
Chase Hansen Utah - Is not really a ILB guy but this former safety showed a lot at OLB I feel, is great in space and a fine athlete so could be of interest.
Justin Hollins Oregon - Big long lean athlete, not sure he is a fit, is more of a 3/4 OLB but could maybe do a number of things in terms of versatility.
David Long Jr West Virginia - Not really a ILB but has great athletic ability and can get into the backfield easily, might be of interest as an quick athlete.
Sutton Smith Northern Illinois - Love him but not sure he could play ILB, has special pass rush ability and a great motor could maybe be a slightly undersized 3/4 OLB as well
Sione Takitaki BYU - Love his athletic ability and does have 3/4 OLB pass rush skills as well, was that before moving to ILB this year, is more of a 2nd or 3rd round guy.
Cameron Smith USC - Very consistent and underrated athlete, not sure he is a great fit but could be a steal in the 3rd or 4th round.
Te'von Coney Notre Dame - Good athletic ability for sure and is an option in the late 2nd to 3rd round possibly.
Vosean Joseph Florida - Big time athlete who is active in the backfield, just not sure he is strong enough to be of interest for the Steelers at ILB, is thin.
Ben Burr-Kirven Washington - Undersized big time and more of a OLB in a 4/3 but who knows they might look at him in terms of being an athlete
Blake Cashman Minnesota - Love his production this year, has potential as a 3/4 ILB or could play OLB easily in a 4/3, would be a great mid round value.
Bobby Okereke Stanford - Long lengthy athlete, a little underachieving in college but has a lot of upside, mid round potential.
Deshaun Davis Auburn - Really like his athletic ability and could be a good value in the middle rounds, need protection but is a big hitter despite being a smaller ILB
Tyrel Dodson Texas A&M - Has tons of upside and potential for his size, big backer who could be a good one down the road.
Anthony Wheeler Texas - Underrated and has the size and speed but at times needs to be more physical.
Ryan Connelly Wisconsin - Smart and tough ILB who is a consistent tackler, might not have the athletic ability they are looking for though.
Jordan Kunaszyk Cal - Just on pure effort alone he is interesting and should be a good mid to late round pickup.
Terez Hall Missouri - Is not the most consistent guy but has 3/4 OLB pass rush skills and is a big hitter as well, could be a late round guy maybe.
