Pittsburgh Steelers: 7-Round 2019 NFL mock draft focuses on secondary
By Randy Gurzi
Round 5, Pick 141 (via Raiders): Isaac Nauta, TE, Georgia
No school seemed to have a worse Scouting Combine than the Georgia Bulldogs. One prospect after another came in and underperformed in the drills, and tight end Isaac Nauta was one of those players.
The early entrant was especially awful in the 40-yard dash, notching a time of 4.91 seconds. Pair that with his undersized 6-3, 244-pound frame and Nauta has a much lower stock than originally expected when he declared for the 2019 NFL Draft. He could still prove to have a solid career and a team like Pittsburgh could help him succeed considering his ability to create separation with his route running.
Round 6, Pick 175: Wyatt Ray, EDGE, Boston College
Wyatt Ray was overshadowed during much of his time at Boston College as all eyes were on his teammates Harold Landry and Zach Allen. When Landry entered the NFL last season, Ray finally got his chance to shine and he put up some great numbers which included 11.5 tackles for a loss and nine sacks.
Still, he’s a work in progress that needs to refine his game to be a force at the next level. With Pittsburgh, he would be given the chance to do that and he projects best in the 3-4 defense they run.
