With all of the Pittsburgh Steelers Top 30 visits in the books, we have one final seven-round mock draft update using just those players. We did it with on caveat. By the final pick, there were no more prospects left that did a Top-30 visit and made any sense. So we took a mulligan and added a punter who no one ever brings in for a pre-draft visit.
As much as we wanted to make this pick, Spencer Fano, that would have taken a significant trade-up, and this was more about the players than the picks. Vega is an easy choice and a 10-year starter at left guard.
Bernard is a receiver who runs like a running back and offers an incredible amount of scheme and position versatility as a No. 3 receiver.
I've come around on Stukes after not being as high on him at the end of the season. His leadership and maturity are unmatched and once he ran a 4.33-second 40-yard dash at the combine, we were fans. He plays bigger than he is and is so smart and technically sound.
If the Steelers front office wants to add athleticism to the quarterback position and break the trend, Cole Payton is as solid a risk as you could want. Since we assume Aaron Rodgers is coming back, there's no rush for him to play, and he'll have plenty of opportunity to polish his passing game.

Perkins is a tweener, and this might worry some teams, but he's just too much of a playmaker not to bring in and find a role for on defense, whether it is at linebacker or safety.
Massive tackle prospect who just mauls defenders. A great insurance plan in case Broderick Jones isn't re-signed after the season.
Massive defensive tackle with elite height and length but needs to play with more burst and better leverage off the edge.
Thomas is more production than athleticism and splash plays but could start on special teams and work into the safety rotation.
Kacmarek is the best blocking tight end in the draft bar none and a great fit with Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington.
Depth pick who will have to fight the make the team but has some value on gadget plays.
A steal this late just based on his measurables alone. This year's Cory Trice in terms of size and potential but how raw he is.
A wildcard pick here to round out the draft. The Steelers need to bring in competition at punter and we love Stonehouse. Well worth a pick.
