The Triple Take team of Mike Prisuta, Dale Lolley and Matt Williamson have released Mock Draft 3.0.

Don't forget to follow along with their position-by-position draft previews as we lead up to the NFL Draft here.

The opinions of these Steelers Radio Network personalities do not reflect the views of the Steelers organization.

Matt's Pick: Cam Ward, QB, Miami

Analysis: Tennessee has heavily invested in their offensive line over the past two off seasons and it now looks to be a solid unit that can
support a rookie quarterback.

Mike's Pick: Cam Ward, QB, Miami

Analysis: After addressing the offensive line, the Titans need to select the guy they want to protect.

Dale's Pick: Cam Ward, QB, Miami

Analysis: The Titans haven't even been linked to a FA QB, perhaps showing their intentions in the draft.

Matt's Pick: Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State

Analysis: Instead of reaching on a quarterback, Cleveland pairs the best pass-rusher in this draft with Myles Garrett who is staying in
town. Maybe they go quarterback early in round two.

Mike's Pick: Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State

Analysis: Perhaps the draft's best player is no consolation prize for Cleveland.

Dale's Pick: Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State

Analysis: The Browns get an edge rusher to pair with Myles Garrett.

Matt's Pick: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado

Analysis: Instead of reaching on a quarterback, New York gets a truly rare prospect in Hunter to help both sides of the ball. Maybe they go quarterback early in round two.

Mike's Pick: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Analysis: Deion's kid has been hinting at this for a while now. Maybe he's prescient as well as a proficient passer.

Dale's Pick: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Analysis: The Giants grab a young QB to pair with Malik Nabers.

Matt's Pick: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

Analysis: The Patriots have spent a lot of money, but most of it on the defensive side of the ball. Their offensive line and pass
catchers still need a big upgrade.

Mike's Pick: Will Campbell, OT, LSU

Analysis: May I interest you in a franchise left tackle?

Dale's Pick: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado

Analysis: The Patriots need offensive weapons, but have corners. They will need Hunter to play on offense.

Matt's Pick: Will Campbell, OT, LSU

Analysis: Jacksonville's new head coach comes from the Buccaneers whose offensive success stemmed from outstanding trench play.
Campbell will fit in somewhere on Jacksonville's offensive line.

Mike's Pick: Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado

Analysis: Draft now, resolve the position issue later.

Dale's Pick: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

Analysis: The Jaguars add an athletic offensive tackle.

Matt's Pick: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

Analysis: Vegas is now in much better shape on offense than in recent years, and their defensive line looks nasty. But the back seven
needs a lot more attention.

Mike's Pick: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

Analysis: "Too high to draft a running back" has gone out of style, and absolutely doesn't apply to this guy.

Dale's Pick: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

Analysis: Everyone knows how much Pete Carroll likes to run the ball.

Matt's Pick: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

Analysis: The Jets decide to pair Graham with Quinnen Williams, forming what might become a dominant defensive interior.

Mike's Pick: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

Analysis: The Jets address the defensive trench.

Dale's Pick: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

Analysis: The Jets could go several directions. But defensive line makes some sense.

Matt's Pick: Jalon Walker, Edge, Georgia

Analysis: Carolina's defense has gotten some much needed reinforcements in free agency, but that was a group that was very devoid
of talent in 2024.

Mike's Pick: Jalon Walker, Edge, Georgia

Analysis: There are multiple Bulldogs edge rushers available, pick one.

Dale's Pick: Wilson Johnson, CB, Michigan

Analysis: The Panthers need to rebuild their defense after the offense showed signs of life last season.

Matt's Pick: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Analysis: Although his contract was recently restructured, Derek Carr could still be on the move after June 1st and is far from a sure
thing to be back in 2026.

Mike's Pick: Mykel Williams, Edge, Georgia

Analysis: The run on Bulldogs edge rushers continues.

Dale's Pick: Will Campbell, OL, LSU

Analysis: The Saints' offensive line situation needs to be addressed – as do a lot of positions.

Matt's Pick: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

Analysis: The Bears went crazy rebuilding their interior offensive line with veterans and spent money on their defensive front. With their
offensive line now in place, Jeanty is just too good to pass up.

Mike's Pick: Tyler Booker, G, Alabama

Analysis: You can never have too many nasty, plug-and-play offensive linemen.

Dale's Pick: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

Analysis: The Bears would've loved Jeanty here, but he was gone.

Matt's Pick: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Analysis: Trent Williams will be a first ballot Hall of Famer and decided to return for 2025, but adding his replacement in Simmons
works out very well here for the Niners.

Mike's Pick: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

Analysis: Secondary is one of San Francisco's primary concerns.

Dale's Pick: Shemar Stewart, Edge, Texas A&M

Analysis: The 49ers could play Stewart anywhere across their defensive front.

Matt's Pick: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

Analysis: The Cowboys could go a lot of different directions after once again doing little in free agency, but they decide to keep Golden in
Texas as an exceptional complement to CeeDee Lamb.

Mike's Pick: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

Analysis: He'll earn the star on his helmet in a hurry.

Dale's Pick: Mykel Williams, Edge, Georgia

Analysis: With DeMarcus Lawrence gone, the Cowboys need a running mate for Micah Parsons.

Matt's Pick: Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas

Analysis: Signing James Daniels was a good start to rebuilding the Dolphins offensive line, but Miami wisely adds another lineman in Banks,
who should start his career at offensive tackle.

Mike's Pick: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

Analysis: Tua's life gets a whole lot easier.

Dale's Pick: Tyler Booker, G, Alabama

Analysis: The Dolphins have plenty of speed at the skill positions. But they have to protect the QB.

Matt's Pick: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

Analysis: The interior of Indianapolis' offensive line got gutted in free agency and they need more help on defense, but Warren is just
too good of a prospect to pass up midway through the first round.

Mike's Pick: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

Analysis: The NFL isn't "Punt, Pass and Kick," but Warren will fit right in because he can Catch, Run and Throw.

Dale's Pick: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

Analysis: The Colts add a playmaker on the back end of the defense.

Matt's Pick: Shemar Stewart, Edge, Texas A&M

Analysis: The Falcons are always in the market for more pass-rush help. Stewart is a work in progress as a player, but a simply
amazing athlete.

Mike's Pick: Mike Green, Edge, Marshall

Analysis: Green is a Thundering rusher, in the event you haven't Herd.

Dale's Pick: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

Analysis: Why not complete the offensive build with a second WR?

Matt's Pick: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

Analysis: Barron is an outstanding football player that can help all over Arizona's defensive backfield. He should be a foundational player for
years to come

Mike's Pick: James Pearce Jr., Edge, Tennessee

Analysis :If they play their cards right, Arizona can turn up the heat.

Dale's Pick: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

Analysis: The Cardinals keep McMillan in state. Nothing helps a short QB more than a tall WR.

Matt's Pick: Walter Nolen, DT, Mississippi

Analysis: Cincinnati did make some moves at defensive tackle, but they still don't have anyone nearly as dynamic as Nolen, an
explosive upfield penetrator.

Mike's Pick: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

Analysis: A new building block for the new DC in Cincy.

Dale's Pick: James Pearce Jr., Edge, Tennessee

Analysis: Pearce is a silky-smooth edge rusher.

Matt's Pick: Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama

Analysis: Seattle shipped out Geno Smith and DK Metcalf via trade, so this pick is likely to be an offensive player. Their interior offensive
line was amongst the worst in football in 2024.

Mike's Pick: Shemar Stewart, Edge, Texas A&M

Analysis: A big addition for Seattle's rebuild.

Dale's Pick: Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon

Analysis: The Seahawks are trying to build a Ravens-like defense. Harmon fits that mold.

Matt's Pick: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

Analysis: Off the ball linebacker remains Tampa Bay's biggest need. Drafting Campbell and letting him learn from Lavonte David
is a perfect situation.

Mike's Pick: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

Analysis: The draft's second can't-miss Campbell winds up in Tampa.

Dale's Pick: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

Analysis: Barron can play inside or outside. And he takes the ball away.

Matt's Pick: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

Analysis: The Broncos want to run the football and decide to massively upgrade with Hampton, something Bo Nix would
greatly appreciate in his second season.

Mike's Pick: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

Analysis: Another weapon for Bo Nix is a great fit.

Dale's Pick: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Analysis: The Broncos need to continue building the weapons around Bo Nix.

Matt's Pick: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

Analysis: Grant is a huge human being with rare movement skills and upside. He is a modern-day nose tackle that can align all over the
defensive front.

Mike's Pick: Jaxson Dart, QB, Mississippi

Analysis: Time to take another shot at identifying Ben's longtime successor; could be they'll hit the bullseye this time.

Dale's Pick: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

Analysis: A nose tackle with pass rushing juice, Grant is talented enough to play in the nickel and dime.

Matt's Pick: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

Analysis: The Chargers need more pass catchers and go with Loveland here, a player Jim Harbaugh is very familiar with from
their time together at Michigan.

Mike's Pick: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

Analysis: Coach Jim will appreciate the ability, and the lineage.

Dale's Pick: Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina

Analysis: The Chargers add a long cornerback to compete in the AFC West.

Matt's Pick: Mykel Williams, Edge, Georgia

Analysis: Green Bay routinely drafts defense in the first round. Williams has a ton of ability and could become the difference maker the
Packers have been searching for off the edge.

Mike's Pick: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

Analysis: Finding a way to get open on the Frozen Tundra just got tougher.

Dale's Pick: Nic Scourton, Edge, Texas A&M

Analysis: Scourton slimmed down to 265 pounds at the Combine and looked more explosive.

Matt's Pick: Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina

Analysis: Harrison Smith will return for one more year, but finding a succession plan seems wise and Brian Flores would adore the
possibilities Emmanwori provides.

Mike's Pick: Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina

Analysis: The line of succession is established at safety first.

Dale's Pick: Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky

Analysis: The Vikings have added a lot in free agency but still need secondary help.

Matt's Pick: Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon

Analysis: The Texans surprisingly shipped Laremy Tunsil, their best offensive lineman, to Washington despite pass protection being a huge
problem for Houston in 2024.

Mike's Pick: Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas

Analysis: Money in the … you get the idea.

Dale's Pick: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Analysis: The Texans have swept out most of their linemen from 2024.

Matt's Pick: Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky

Analysis: The Rams have an impressive young defensive line in place, but their coverage people need more work. Hairston gets into
the first round after exploding at the Combine.

Mike's Pick: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Analysis: It appears as if patellar tendon surgery was a mere bump in the road.

Dale's Pick: Jalon Walker, LB, Georgia

Analysis: The Rams have pumped up the offense. Now they need to work on the defense.

Matt's Pick: Mike Green, Edge, Georgia

Analysis: Green Bay routinely drafts defense in the first round. Williams has a ton of ability and could become the difference maker the Packers have been searching for off the edge.

Mike's Pick: Walter Nolen, DT, Mississippi

Analysis: The Ravens know a worthwhile trench defender when they see one.

Dale's Pick: Grey Zabel, OL, North Dakota State

Analysis: With Patrick Mekari gone, the Ravens need interior offensive line help

Matt's Pick: James Pearce Jr., Edge, Tennessee

Analysis: Detroit is very fortunate that Pearce lasted this long after his showing in Indianapolis. The Lions pounce and pair Pearce with
Aiden Hutchinson.

Mike's Pick: Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, Boston College

Analysis: More bite for the Lions.

Dale's Pick: Donovan Jackson, OL, Ohio State

Analysis: The Lions need to keep a strength a strength.

Matt's Pick: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

Analysis: Wide receivers are falling in this mock draft and even though the Commanders traded for Deebo Samuel, they add a
much different player at this position to grow with Jayden Daniels.

Mike's Pick: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

Analysis: After this pick the Commanders will be Starks raving glad.

Dale's Pick: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

Analysis: Zach Ertz can't play forever, right?

Matt's Pick: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

Analysis: The Bills went years with a great safety pairing of Mycah Hyde and Jordan Poyer. Grabbing Starks could get the safety position back to
being a real strength of Buffalo's defense.

Mike's Pick: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

Analysis: With Golden, the Bills will have a chance to rule.

Dale's Pick: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

Analysis: Matt Milano can't play forever, right?

Matt's Pick: Donovan Jackson, OL, Ohio State

Analysis: The Chiefs still need offensive line help. Jackson, who has a background at tackle, is best suited for guard, just like Joe
Thuney, who was traded to the Bears.

Mike's Pick: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Analysis: The prize wide receivers just keep coming from Columbus, one after another. And they catch on fast.

Dale's Pick: Walter Nolen, DT, Mississippi

Analysis: Chris Jones isn't getting any younger and the Chiefs lost some pieces up front.

Matt's Pick: Derrick Harmon, DL, Oregon

Analysis: It is no secret that Philadelphia covets and develops talented defensive lineman probably better than any team in the league.
That approach resulted in a Super Bowl victory. Harmon slides in with Milton Williams now in New England.

Mike's Pick: Derrick Harmon, DL, Oregon

Analysis: Harmon looked great in green at Michigan State and Oregon. Philly's color scheme should agree with him.

Dale's Pick: Landon Jackson, Edge, Arkansas

Analysis: When in doubt, mock a freaky athletic defensive lineman to the Eagles.
