The Steelers got a good one in Joey Porter Jr. at the top of the second round last year, but their investment in cornerbacks must continue. Mitchell was dominant at the Senior Bowl. He is scheme-versatile in both skill and athleticism. He could easily be picked higher than this, but he will be high on Pittsburgh's board if he makes it this far.
If JPJ is off the board, a lockdown cornerback like Mitchell makes perfect sense. Especially when you consider in their second round, the Steelers land West Virginia center Zach Frazier. There are lots of directions the Steelers could go early in the draft including selecting a cornerback but cornerback and center in some order feels like the safer strategy.
