With the draft less than two weeks away, there has been much speculation about what position the Pittsburgh Steelers may go with at pick 24. They have publicly announced they are committed to getting the ground game back to its prominence, and according to draft expert Tony Pauline, the team is locked into three picks that would definitely back that up:

There has been a lot of debate about if the Steelers should go offensive line or running back with their first pick, but all three of these players would immediately boost the run game and likely be day one starters. Pittsburgh has finished bottom 3 in the run game the past three seasons, and the absence of the run game was visible down the stretch this past season. Building off a 12-4 season that ended abruptly in the Wild Card round of the playoffs, Pittsburgh is all in on competing for a championship this season, and any of these three will be a huge part of working towards a seventh Lombardi Trophy.
Take a look at the draft profiles we have for these three below:
What do you think, Steeler Nation? Are one of these three the key to a championship this year? A building block for years to come? Do you have someone else in mind? Let us know in the comment section on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!
