With the thirty first pick in the NFL draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select: Derek Sherrod, OT, Mississippi State. The Steelers got pushed around in the Superbowl, and getting a good young tackle makes a lot of sense for them. They would love to get Mike Pouncey to pair with his brother, but they will have to move up in the draft to get a shot at him.
With the thirty second pick in the NFL draft, the world champion Green Bay Packers select: Muhammad Wilkerson, DE, Temple. This lineman is being touted as the best player you have never heard of, and since the Packers look good in a lot of spots they will take a chance on the Owl’s standout. At 6’4”, 315 he can play end or tackle in the 3-4 defense.
