In just one season starting, Watt proved he is an every down player and he can start day one for the Pittsburgh Steelers. At 6’4” and 252 pounds, Watt is a bit of a tweener for the position, but he tested well in pretty much every single drill at the combine. Also, he has some of the best football instincts I’ve scouted in this draft class.

The Steelers run a mixture of 3-4 principles and 4-2 Over fronts when the offense is in “11 personnel” or three wide receiver sets. In both of these formations, they actually have their edge rushers stand in a two-point stance for a good percentage of the snaps. This is where I see Watt lining up. Additionally, if they ever need an inside linebacker, I believe he could excel at the position as well.

Pro Comp: Connor Barwin - They both had limited experience coming out of school and both needed to learn better pass rush techniques. Neither has elite speed, but they play with effort to make up for it.

Grade: B - About where I had him on my board. Gave him an early second round, so taking him at #30 is fine.
