Javonte Williams probably would be, at the very least.

Tomlin opts for his defense in which he is co-defensive coordinator. Overrules Canada’s needs.

OL pls in 1st round.
Jerry Micco
11:01
Wow. Reach by the Titans. Back surgery and an opt out guy.
11:03
Steelers in an excellent spot. They can stay and fill a huge need at RB or OL. And can move back and probably still fill a need.
Brian Batko
11:03
Here's an interesting wrinkle: Three picks after the Steelers are the Ravens. What did the Ravens just do? Trade their starting right tackle, giving them a huge hole there. Hmm...

Biggest news for me: Bill bell chick getting a Sabin QB. Don’t look now.
Brian Batko
11:04
Hate to say it, but that's probably been the most perfect storyline of the draft so far, right?

Don’t screw it now Steelers please !! Great players still on the board.. trade back! But not RB now please..

if darrisaw isnt here we either take jenkins or trade back and still get one of the top 3 rb

I have ETN top of my board right now
pdxJaxon
11:05
wow....christian darrisaw and tevin jenkins both still there....this is a tougher choice than I expected
Brian Batko
11:07
Darrisaw to the Vikings at 23. Here's who's available to the Steelers: Najee Harris, Travis Etienne, Teven Jenkins, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Landon Dickerson, Creed Humphrey.
Jerry Micco
11:07
I'll take a flyer. Steelers take a pure hybrid LB/Safety: Owusu Koramoah. But there are many nice choices for them right now. See who the Vikes get.
Jeff
11:08
Think you take Darrisaw if he is there and Etienne if not
Lambert Lunatic
11:08
Trade baaaaack!

If the Steelers trade back to 28, 29, either Harris or ETN might be available.

Steelers need to take deep breadth. I know coach Canada is licking his chops. But we gotta let the big man, mister Rooney out his thumb prints on this one
Burrow
11:08
RB!
westCoast
11:08
Dont waste #1 pick on a RB. The game has moved on...
Brian Batko
11:08
Looks like Cam Heyward broke the news, eh?
Jud
11:09
Can't believe that Heyward is/has any news other than public info...

BB get your interview lined up
Jerry Micco
11:10
I was actually at the 2004 draft in NYC when Ben was drafted. With fellow sports editors who had meeting with then NFL Commish Paul Tagliabue.
11:12
Najee Harris. Good, safe pick. No issue with this one. C and OT tomorrow night or early Saturday.
Brian Batko
11:12
Well there you go, everyone. Steelers take Najee Harris, all time leading rusher in Alabama history. Former No. 1 overall recruit in the country. All that good stuff.
11:13
Let's get your thoughts real quickly...
pdxJaxon
11:13
ok Bats go knock that interview OUT of the park
Tom
11:13
Hope he like to catch the ball. Ben will never hand the ball off consistently.
Brian Batko
11:13
He does, and he can.

Can you honestly go wrong with a bama RB hopefully magically turns into a Derrick Henry type back
Steeltown

Got a stud!

Thanks for joining us, everybody. We're going to run it back tomorrow night for rounds 2 and 3, 7 p.m. sharp. I'll see you there. OH ... and now, once and for all, for the record. Najee is pronounced NAH-jee. Let's commit it to memory, shall we? Goodnight all.
