The Phinsider Community Mock Draft: Pick #23 - Pittsburgh Steelers

With the 22nd pick in The Phinsider Community Mock Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida.

Jenkins narrowly edged Felix Jones, 28% to 27%.  Aqib Talib was also right behind, with 25%.

So the 5 most recent picks look like this:

  18. Houston Texans - Branden Albert, G/T, Virginia (28%)
  19. Philadelphia Eagies - DeSean Jackson, WR, Cal (41%)
  20. Tampa Bay Bucs - Devin Thomas, WR, Michigan St. (29%)
  21. Washington Redskins - Limas Sweed, WR, Texas (21%)
  22. Dallas Cowboys - Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida (28%)

Up next, with pick #23, are the Pittsburgh Steelers.  For Steelers insight and analysis, head over to Behind the Steel Curtain.  Below are Pittsburgh's draft needs, courtesy of NFL Draft Countdown:

1. Offensive Guard: They allowed one of the best o-guards in the league (Alan Faneca) to leave as a free agent and they really don't have anyone who's capable of replacing him currently on the roster.
2. Offensive Tackle: Max Starks was named their transition player so he will be around for one more year but his long-term future is in doubt and Marvel Smith will be a free agent next offseason as well.
3. Wide Receiver: Plaxico Burress used to be Ben Roethlisberger's favorite target and "Big Ben" misses him. He has even gone public with his request for a big, physical presence for their passing game.
