NFL Mock Draft 2017: Cowboys, Raiders, Patriots & Picks 22-32

No. 30 Pittsburgh Steelers: LB Ryan Anderson


School: Alabama


Position: Linebacker


Class: Senior


Outlook: The Steelers defensive rebuild has been a work in progress over the past few off-seasons. With the talent Pittsburgh has on the offensive side, the defense continues to be the weak link. Anderson flew a bit under the radar this season at Alabama with the amount of talent on the roster, but Anderson came up with key plays in the Crimson Tide's most important games this season. Anderson finished the senior season with 61 tackles and 8.5 sacks. Alabama used Anderson all over the field. He can play as a traditional linebacker in addition to being an edge rusher. Anderson displays surprising quickness especially when rushing the passer. (Getty)
