With the thirty-second pick in the Canal Street Chronicles community mock draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select...

William Beatty, OT, Connecticut

Surprise pick here! Well not really, the Steelers were absolutely awful on the offensive line. Ben was sacked 46 times and the running game was decent at best. Beatty has been shooting up draft boards and put up on some weight since ending the season. He paved the way for the third ranked RB in the draft (yes, that is Donald Brown), and is pretty decent in pass protection. While he could take a year to fully develop, he is instantly better than the garbage on the Steelers OL.Another person I considered here was Alex Mack. While it was close, the left side needs to be addressed desperately.Steelers fans can rejoice that they now have a respectable player on their offensive line that actually moves men down field (and doesn't watch them run by them).

The CSC Community Mock Draft is now over. Thank you to everyone who took part and made this possible. Below is the final product.

awesome job by Saintsational

in organizing and executing the mock draft. It gets a little long in the tooth and interest wanes toward the end, but those are true of the real thing as well. Here’s to your usual excellent work!

Being a Saints fan will take years off your life
