12. Pittsburgh Steelers: Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern
With Kenny Pickett under center, the Pittsburgh Steelers have shown some flashes. However, a recent concussion highlights the fact that he needs more help — especially on the offensive line.
That’s why Peter Skoronoski is the choice at No. 12. It’s not a given he’s going to be the first offensive lineman off the board but he’s right there with the top tackles in this class. For the Steelers, they need to reinforce their line which hasn’t done a great job at protecting Pickett or opening running lanes.
The jury is still out on their young quarterback but they need to make sure to give him a real chance. Skoronski helps in that endeavor.

13. Green Bay Packers: Jordan Addison, WR, USC
Christian Watson has turned things around following a slow start to the season, which is a huge plus for the Green Bay Packers. Even with him starting to look like a potential No. 1 wideout, the Packers can use more depth at the position, which they get in Jordan Addison.
A former standout at Pitt, Addison transferred to USC this year and had another strong campaign. While Aaron Rodgers continues to talk as though he’s unsure about his future, he’s likely coming back for at least one more season, and having Addison and Watson could be what it takes to get their offense back on track.
