Steelers cut ties with Kenny Pickett in this 2024 NFL mock draft
By Ryan Heckman
To make up for not addressing the position earlier, the Steelers finish their draft by selecting a second-straight cornerback, going with Miami Hurricanes standout Jaden Davis.
Now, unlike the aforementioned Jones, Davis is a much smaller prospect for the corner position. Davis stands 5-foot-9 and could be a better fit as a slot corner or rotational defensive back with some versatility. He does also excel in zone coverage, which is something Pittsburgh has thrown in a bit more this season.
Even though he is undersized, Davis plays smart football. He is one of those players who could be a depth piece, but is able to come in and play wherever he's needed. He makes up for his lack of size with his quick feet, above-average awareness in zone and with a high football IQ.
