Steelers' first-round draft pick is seemingly down to 3 positions
Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a big decision in a little over two weeks. 

If they decide to stick and pick at 20, there is plethora of positions and players that they can target. 

S0 with the NFL Draft fast approaching, here are the three prospects that make the most sense for Pittsburgh at 20th overall:

Option #1: Georgia OT Amarius Mims

If all things stay the same, it's hard to fathom a world in which Amarius Mims isn't the pick at 20. But as we know with the draft, the least likely outcome is that things stay the same. 

Possessing elite upside and natural traits at RT, Mims solves two major problems for Pittsburgh. First off, he allows Broderick Jones to move back to left tackle, and second off, he becomes a starter for 10+ years, helping create a bookend tackle duo that teams covet.

Option #2: Texas WR Adonai Mitchell

Mitchell is more than Pittsburgh's cup of tea at WR, with the size (6-2, 205), speed (4.3s), and separation skills that they desire at the position. 

And while Mitchell is likely to be there at 20 and would help out a WR corps that has only one option via George Pickens, Pittsburgh will have to weigh their track record of finding receiving options on day two, with a player that has elite upside like Mitchell.

Option 3: Clemson CB Nate Wiggins

After hosting Wiggins on an official visit last week, it's obvious that Pittsburgh has at least some interest in the twitchy corner. With good height at 6-1, you would think the corner fits the size parameters for Pittsburgh, except when you see he's 173 pounds and has an arm length of 30 inches. 

For reference, that's around 20 pounds lighter and 4 inches shorter than Joey Porter Jr., a prototype that Pittsburgh increasingly looks to target at corner. But Wiggins makes up for the size with elite speed (4.2s) and sticky coverage traits. So while he's the least liley of the three, I wouldn't be surprised if Pittsburgh went CB at 20, especially if Wiggins is on the board.
