draft class on Wednesday T. J. Watt Jersey , leaving just Devin Bush and Justin Layne left to agree to terms"The Pittsburgh Steelers officially announced the signing of two more members of their 2019 draft class on Thursday afternoon, confirming four-year deals with tight end Zach Gentry and linebacker Ulysees Gilbert III via social media.These signings follow agreements made with third-round draft pick Diontae Johnson, fourth-round selection Benny Snell Jr. and seventh-round pick Derwin Gray announced on Wednesday, and deals signed by sixth-round picks Sutton Smith and Isaiah Buggs on Tuesday. And while the terms of their deals have yet to be revealed, it should be expected that the numbers will closely match the figures projected by OverTheCap.com ahead of the draft. A deal that would pay Gentry close to $2.85 million over the length of the contract and include a signing bonus worth in the region of $340,000.Gilbert is projected to receive a contract worth around $2.6 million, one that will come with a signing bonus worth just over $125,000.With rookie minicamp set to start on Friday, the Steelers now have seven of their nine draft picks under contract and it should be expected that an agreement with third-round selection Justin Layne will be confirmed in the coming days as well. A deal with linebacker Devin Bush is likely to take a little longer to negotiate, with agreements over the guaranteed portions of the contract and offset language often taking longer to work out. Once some of the names at the top end of the draft have agreed to terms Jerome Bettis Jersey White , it should give Pittsburgh a framework for their deal with Bush.2019 NFL Draft Class:1 — Devin Bush — Unsigned3 — Diontae Johnson — Signed 4-year contract3 — Justin Layne — Unsigned4 — Benny Snell Jr. — Signed 4-year contract5 — Zach Gentry — Signed 4-year contract6 — Sutton Smith — Signed 4-year contract6 — Isaiah Buggs — Signed 4-year contract6 — Ulysees Gilbert III — Signed 4-year contract7 — Derwin Gray — Signed 4-year contract The Pittsburgh Steelers are approaching training camp, and we provide some potential predictions for 2019."

With that, I decided to revive an old series we used to do as a lead up to training camp. 30 predictions in 30 days.Myself and Simon Chester are alternating days giving a prediction for the upcoming season. Some will be team oriented, while others will be specific to individual players. Either way, read on to see the reason why we think today’s prediction will come to fruition, and why it might not come true.Give your thoughts in the comment section below the article.Training camp is almost here! Here We Go!Prediction: Sean Davis will set career highs in interceptions and tackles in 2019.Why it will happen: Sean Davis is a player I feel for when you look at the entire scope of his NFL career. His rookie season he was a player who played both slot cornerback and safety. After some early struggles they decided to have him focus on playing safety alongside Mike Mitchell.When Mitchell was released James Conner Jersey White , Davis switched positions when the team drafted Terrell Edmunds in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. In other words, Davis has never really had a chance to call a position home, and be given the time to get comfortable.In 2019, with Edumunds a full year under his belt, Davis should be able to roam the deep secondary without having to worry about a rookie next to him. This general understanding, and comfort level, should increase his stats in two main categories — interceptions and tackles.Davis has never had more than 3 interceptions in a season, and his 90 tackles in 2018 are a career high. While you don’t want your safeties with huge tackle numbers, I see Davis setting career marks in a contract year for the black-and-gold. Why it won’t happen: The Steelers’ defense is a sub package defense, just like most of the defenses in the NFL Womens Jerome Bettis Jersey , and this can cause the secondary to have different responsibilities than the usual 3-4 alignment. Nonetheless, it isn’t as if Davis will not have opportunities to make plays. Maybe Davis just isn’t the type of player who is destined to be a big stat-getter in the deep secondary. Not to mention despite Edmunds playing a ton as a rookie, he still has a lot to prove before Davis might have to think twice about taking gambles in the back half without leaving the secondary vulnerable.Davis has yet to show he can put up anything resembling 90+ tackles, or 3+ interceptions to date. Not much makes you think this will change in 2019, even when it is a contract season.<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="aw3mMh">What are your thoughts on this prediction? Do you think it will happen?
