I think you are spot on. I think Jarrett is a lock as well though.
I'd say Biz, Johnson, and Conner are locks. Price, Peterman, and Orndoff are likely 6th or 7th rounders, at best, so you never really know with them. I'm not sure any of them will test all that well and Price has injury and age issues that hurt him. I don't see any of the rest having a realistic shot, but in the 7th round, who the heck knows? It only takes one team.Guessing

I don't see a whole lot of difference between Scott Orndoff and these "elite" TE prospects. I think Orndoff is one of the most underrated players we've had in a long time.
Orndoff has everything that pro GM's would be looking for. The only question that remains for him is his 40 time. If he runs even a tick under a 4.8, he will go higher than any of you project. If it is over a 4.8, he might not even go in rd. 7. I am really curious to see how it all shakes out for him.
I really thought Blewitt may have a legit shot at being an NFL K early in his career, but I just really wonder if the consistency is there.Guessing

Soto is a very interesting prospect. He looked really good at times since Pitt moved him inside to tackle this year. He looked to be getting better each game he played. Not sure it leads to him being drafted but, he will absolutely get a shot in someone's camp next season.I think price goes higher than expected. The guy flat out gets to the QB. Plus the precedent is there with smaller DEs who were very productive.
Jarrett should not lose weight, NFL will like his weight. Orndoff goes 7 round I think unless his combine numbers rock. I can't see Soto or blewitt getting drafted. It will be a God year for Pitt guys to watch the draft

Especially if it is #24 to replace the aging and oft-injured D'Angelo Williams as Bell's backup.It depends on how they test out. It would nice to see the Steelers draft a Pitt guy.
We have 2 OL that could help bolster the OL, Conner would be a great backup to Bell that could also play TE/H-Back, the Steelers need TE help and Orndorff would be a good late pick, Price would be a good late pick who could play 3-4 OLB, Jarrett could be a late pick for NT, NP could be a late pick for backup QB. A lot of possibilities. It is not like we have 1 possibility and the guy fits a 4-3 scheme.Especially if it is #24 to replace the aging and oft-injured D'Angelo Williams as Bell's backup.
