Now this is a mock draft I can get on board with - Hakeem Butler going in the second round to Pittsburgh after it trades up to get him.

Round 2 (45th overall) — WR Hakeem Butler, Iowa State
TRADE: Give up 2nd (52), 5th (141), 6th (175) to the Falcons to move up seven spots.

Iowa State wide receiver Hakeem Butler had 60 receptions for 1,318 yards in 13 games last season.
Sure, the Steelers would love to secure Arizona State’s N’Keal Harry, but he will likely be taken late in the first round or early in the second. So the Steelers don’t want to lose out on another potential difference-making receiver and could make their first big move of the draft by moving up nine spots with Atlanta to take the big-bodied Butler. Butler, 6-foot-6, is a large receiver who can spread the field and make combat catches. The Steelers missed the big field-stretching receiver a year ago when they traded Martavis Bryant. Butler ran a 4.48 at the Combine that paired nicely with his redshirt junior season when he caught 60 passes for 1,318 yards and nine touchdowns. He averaged a robust 22 yards per catch.
