BCC Mock Draft: With the thirty second selection, the Pittsburgh Steelers select Max Unger, Offensive lineman from Oregon

Having depth and age issues on both offensive and defensive lines, we selected Max Unger for reasons we believe to be worthy of a first round pick and to enhance our team in a myriad of positive ways in the future. With a few other linemen being considered, such as Alex Mack, William Beatty, and defensive players Jarron Gilbert and Darius Butler, we felt that our choice was still the best available player.

We feel his versatility in playing numerous positions on the offensive line, which included left tackle, guard, and center, would give us a durable and stout player for many, many years. The value of such a multi-talented player is something we could not pass on. His size, solid technique skills, toughness, and leadership qualities on and off the field have made him a superb fit with the team and the character of the Steeler’s organization.
