# of Pitt Draft Picks

Nate Peterman
I think teams will be looking for the next Dak Prescott with their 5-7 picks and this is where Peterman should go. He has decent size and his arm and decision making have improved over the past two years. He's added some touch to his passes and is surprisingly mobile. His accuracy needs to improve, but he's an interesting option on Day 3.
James Conner
Conner doesn't have great speed or power, but he is very productive and should be a nice fit as someone's No. 2 option. You could see he was getting better every week and is just now getting back to full speed. He is the heart and soul of a team and will be an asset to whoever drafts him. He'll go in the fourth or fifth round.
Scott Orndoff
Probably underutilized in Pitt's offense. Solid blocker and deceptive speed that he has shown us this year. Not sure he gets drafted, but if my team needed a developmental tight end, I'd take him in the seventh.
Dorian Johnson
Johnson doesn't have a lot of bulk, but he is athletic and can set the tone for the ground game. I would love to see him on an offensive line like the Steelers, already with mobile interior players in Pouncey and DeCastro. He'll be one of the top guards in the draft and will go in the second with an outside shot of in the first if a team falls in love with him.
Adam Bisnowaty
Big and athletic, which should help his draft stock. I'm sure scouts will pick his technique apart, but he seems like a guy who should have a career at tackle in the NFL. I expect him to go in the second or third round, unless there is a run on tackles, which could raise his position.
Ejuan Price
Price is productive behind the line of scrimmage and his ability to rush the quarterback is something that NFL teams will love. However, he'll be 24 years old and he is undersized, which will keep him as a Day 3 pick.

He will be drafted. Great soft hands, prototype NFL TE size, can run and make plays downfield. His size/hands combo alone will get him into the NFL.

I hope Price gets drafted but I won't be shocked if he doesn't. It isn't just size as a mark against him, but age will also be a factor.
Hopeful for Nate, too, because at QB it only takes 1 team and that would help our recruiting, but I'd be pretty surprised.

Would love to see the Steelers go after Price if he is still available in the 4th round. They could use a younger Harrison type at OLB... the perfect position for him at the next level.
