Pick 10 Steelers - Hooray a pick where I dont have to look up the roster and financials. This will be the first time the Steelers have picked in the first round in 3 seasons. The Steelers originally traded up with the hope of drafting a DE but then addressed that in a trade but that doesnt mean they wont still take one here (which is tempting with Ohio States Bosa on the board). Outside of DE, they have an immediate starting need at the DT/MLB tandem. The Steelers play 3-4 and theres no MLB on the board but that doesnt mean they dont have a choice. Starting OLB Tufts is a converted MLB so they could potentially draft BPA in OLB Aaron Lynch and play Tufts at MLB to maintain 3-4. DT Sheldon Richardson is just behind him and whilst that would require a switch to 4-3, they were successful in running 4-3 towards the latter end of the 2014 season after an injury at MLB. DT Sheldon Richardson is the more likely option with Tufts current OVR at MLB being an unknown (he got a large jump going from MLB to OLB)

Only last season the Steelers would have probably been a surefire bet to grab a WR here but despite an aging WR corps, they are relatively locked in contract wise and have a scrambling QB.

Pick 11 Dolphins - Sam Keller is an elite QB who is going to be due a ton of money soon on a roster that traditionally has cap issues. This would be a more interesting narrative if only KCF actually ever drafted QBs. So moving past that, lets look at other potential fits. The Dolphins still have another hole at WR to fill and they could get a high end talent draft pick to fill in that role. However KCF has also stated he likes to have a revolving door of WR3s and that would potentially leave them in a bad financial way 2-3 years down the line (but high end WRs will always be movable). Ok so next up, the Dolphins starting OLBs are both 34 so only have 1-2 seasons left and dont have an obvious next in line so grabbing someone here makes sense even if they did just trade away an OLB. The Dolphins could also potentially make a large reach at MLB and let him try grab the starting berth from Worrilow because KCF cares little from your draft board state! Ill take the safe option and say he takes OLB Aaron Lynch. Honestly thinking about it, he probably takes the OLB at 7 or 8 and the WR here. I may revise this pre-draft as it could also depend on contract lengths (I think Top 10 get longer deals? I forget the specifics). With 3 picks so close together we need some sort of partial credit system here!

Pick 12 Pumpkins - I am assuming the Pumpkins play 3-4 given the age of their MLBs and ratings. If they didnt a DT might be an option here, it may still be an option given the age of their starting DT and the hole at the position. They also have a hole at WR where the pick would definitely see playing time and there should be a couple on the board here. I dont think I see any other positions that jump out at me, at least not with a high 1st. So with DTs projected to be available in the second, lets go with WR Jarvis Landry

Pick 13 Hawks - Ah beautiful AI picks with your lack of financial and age information meaning I dont have to look as deep. With a potential starting hole at DT and a definite starting hole at OLB Ill narrow it down to those 2 positions and go with the greater starting need in OLB ZaDarius Smith which may or may not be a slight reach but who cares.
