Steelers’ Mike Tomlin has his fingers crossed regarding division rival’s draft rumor
Kareem Elgazzar-USA TODAY Sports-The Cincinnati Enquirer

We spend a good chunk of the pre-draft process examining the best fit for our teams. 

But seldom do we take a second to survey the landscape of the division and see what would make other teams better. 

Today we are going to do just that, as we look at one prospect for the Ravens, Bengals, and Browns that the Pittsburgh Steelers won't want any part of:

Ravens: Texas WR Adonai Mitchell

Adonai Mitchell is easily one of the best WRs in this class. Steelers fans will want no part of a Ravens team (that just acquired Derrick Henry) to add an elite separator to Lamar Jackson's arsenal. 

The reigning MVP already has proven commodities via Mark Andrews and Zay Flowers, meaning a third threat could take the two-time MVP over the top. 

Bengals: Georgia TE Brock Bowers

Brock Bowers is undoubtedly a top five player in this class in my opinion. So how would he fall to 18th overall and become a Bengal, something that is increasingly rumored: 

Positional Value. 

Teams don't value tight ends, both in play and financially the way they do even other offensive positions like tackle, WR and QB. That means Bowers could see a slide and end up falling into the palm of Cincinnati, a pick no one outside of the Queen City would take pleasure in. 

Browns: Florida State DT Braden Fiske

The last thing any opponent of the Browns wants to see is star pass rusher and reigning DPOY Myles Garrett get better. 

But if Cleveland adds Braden Fiske with their first pick in the draft, you can bank on that happening. 

Cleveland doesn't have a first-rounder, meaning they will need to hit on their second-round selection. I have trouble finding a player that's a better fit, with a higher potential for impact than Fiske at 54.
