Steelers trade OT Dan Moore and fix the entire OL

Steelers trade OT Dan Moore and fix the entire OL

We have done our best to have some fun with the Pittsburgh Steelers mock draft even though many of you take them far too seriously. When we traded away T.J. Watt, fans came with torches and pitchforks and when we traded away Russell Wilson, it was the same.

Well, how about if we trade away offensive tackle Dan Moore Jr.? Is that better? I hope so because this is exactly what happened in this week’s full seven-round mock draft. Pittsburgh traded Moore and the No. 20 overall pick and fourth-round pick in 2025 to the Bengals for the No. 18 pick as well as the No. 97 pick. Perhaps a little rich for the Steelers but I defer to the simulation.

Nevertheless, here is how we approached this mock with two extra picks in hand and a sudden need for a starting offensive tackle.
