BREAKING: Steelers Draft Najee Harris

[wig]

Tomlin has said it won't just be personnel changes to improve the running game, it will be schemes, formations, etc. That is good news.

Well, ****. If T said it, I have nooooooooo doubt that he'll follow through on that ****! We bout to unleash North Montana!

 

[MTC]

Excellent pick. Now time to get him an OL.

Yep

 

[Hines57]

How long til Tomlin runs the wheels off Najee?

I say three years.

 

[stuntmanmike]

Could luck out now get creedmore in the 2nd Harris and Humphrey would fill two big holes

 

[Hines57]

I say three years.

That would suck to draft a guy in R1 and only get 3 good years out of him.

So he is Jerome Bettis and Franco mixed together? What more can we ask for!

I find it hard to be optimistic about the OL right now.

Okorafor was the worst OL on the unit last year and is shifting to LT. Maybe he’ll be better there but he’s bad at run blocking and meh in pass protection.

Dotson had a good year with his pass blocking but did not live up to his pre-draft hype on the ground. He has potential in this area and the ground game was better when he was in there.

Hassenhauer was bad. BJ Finney is not good. The Steelers need a starting center because as of today they have the worst talent in the league at the position

DeCastro had a down year and you hope it was due to injuries and not aging.

Banner flashes potential as a dominant run blocker. Subpar in protection.

A whole lot of “hope” for the talent to perform better on the OL and Canada/Klemm to coach/scheme better.

Yes, there must be a significant improvement from the OL.

Let’s see how the rest of the draft works out and it’s not unheard of for an OL to step up unexpectedly to have great seasons (Oliver Ross, Kevin Beachum)

It’s not just blind hope that players can improve in offseason - especially from first year of playing to second

He'll crash him onto the rookie wall by early December of this year just in time to unleash hell.

 

[SteelBuckeye]

I believe Dickerson will be the pick. I've been guessing we trade up to get him and I'd give up a pick from next year to get him!!!

Just messin' with ya Berm ... Well, kinda

 

[slashsteel]

Naj will wear number 22 this season.

I wouldn’t put it passed cool shades

You underestimate Harris vision, surprising quickness for a man his size and ability to make defenders miss.

Harris has a excellent stiff arm, can jump over defenders coming in low, juke them out or run them over. He has what I would call competitive speed.

Is this the guy you would have picked? Talking heads seem to bashing the Steelers for taking a RB in round one. I personally am ok with it. Arguably the best player at his position with pick 24.

He wanted ET9.

 

[stillwright]

Meh, I don't love the pick, but I don't hate the pick either. He's good RB, I just think the O-line is a more pressing need. Here's hoping they can get that shored up in rounds 2-3.

Who would you have taken?

 

[strat68]

Hope he wears #32

Not a chance unless Franco intervenes.

I'm 4 for 5 on first picks.
Watt, missed on Edmunds but so should have they (wanted Vander Eshe but gone), Bush, Claypool, Harris

We think alot alike SASK..... I look back at the Edmunds draft and the players that were taken after him and no one really stands out other than Nick Chubb and Darius Leonard
