Before you know it, the 2015 NFL Draft will be here. Even though the Pittsburgh Steelers have had a strong season in 2014 so far, they have quite a few needs heading into next year's draft. Here is my way-too-early seven-round mock draft.

Round 1: CB-P.J. Williams (Florida State)

One of the Steelers' biggest holes has been at cornerback in 2014. With veteran Ike Taylor declining, they need some young blood to help their secondary going forward.

The Steelers have had issues with their offensive line for years as quarterback Ben Roethlisberger continues to take too many hits. Time to make some upgrades.

Adding a guard to go along with a tackle wouldn't be a bad idea for the Steelers. Especially with how much offensive coordinator Todd Haley likes to throw the football.

With LeGarrette Blount gone, the Steelers could use a viable back up behind Le’Veon Bell going into next season.

Round 5: CB-Quandre Diggs (Texas)

Quandre Diggs is a hybrid player who could end up playing safety in the NFL, which is certainly a need for Pittsburgh.

Round 6: DE-Henry Anderson (Stanford)

The Steelers had to bring back Brett Keisel this season because of a lack of depth along their defensive line. They need some upgrades.

Round 7: QB-Bo Wallace (Ole Miss)

Why not try to develop a quarterback like Bo Wallace for when Ben Roethlisberger’s career is over? Or, they could trade him down the road if he develops into a good backup.
