You know- if the Steelers wanted an Eddie Lacy/LeVeon Bell/Monte Ball type RB in this draft, then Stephens-Howling would be a good pick-up. He gives the Steelers that element of difference the others don't offer.
The people that are trying to make the world worse never take a day off, why should I?
Light up the darkness.
2024 Draft
1. Kool-Aid McKinstry CB

3. Maason Smith DT
4. Matt Goncalves OT
6. Trevin Wallace ILB
7. AJ Barner TE
Wasn't there a VT cornerback a few years back that many wanted to draft with a very similar name? I think the Pats drafted him. Wonder what ever happened to that guy....
I know it's off topic but when I saw the name that was the first person I thought of.
Tomlin: Let's unleash hell and "mop the floor" with the competition.
I wouldn't mind Stephens-Howling as a change of pace/third down/receiving threat type of back. He certainly brings a skill set that none of our other backs have.
Would still like to get Bradshaw, if actually healthy...but would be okay with Stephens-Howling.

He is smaller than Tavon Austin, which everyone here is against drafting. But you want to pick him up.

Decastro's Rookie contract was 7.5 million over 5 years or 1.5 million a year. Generally the contract is more back loaded but I don't have the exact years layed out in front of me. Dre Kirkpatrick, last year's 17th pick signed a 4 year 8.6 million deal or 2 million a year. With the rookie wage scale in place now you are not paying rookies insane amounts of money. I disagree with the old salary argument. I think it is apples to apples. Only difference is you have seen what Howlings can do in the NFL. Austin is more dynamic than Howlings.
Edit: Here is an article on how Kirkpatrick's number break down.
This is completely reasonable.The Cincinnati Bengals announced last Friday that they [URL="http://www.cincyjungle.com/2012/5/18/3028679/cincinnati-bengals-announce-cornerback-dre-kirkpatrick-signed-on"]agreed to terms with first-round cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick[/URL]. The four-year deal was reportedly [URL="http://www.cincyjungle.com/2012/5/18/3029113/dre-kirkpatricks-contract-details"]worth $8.6 million with $7.84 million guaranteed[/URL] and a $4.9 million signing bonus. Further broken down the deal is actually worth [URL="https://twitter.com/#%21/RavensInsider/statuses/204957806812598272"]$8.622 million with fully guaranteed base salaries[/URL] during all four seasons, according to Aaron Wilson.
Kirkpatrick is scheduled to earn $390,000 this season, with $781,954, $1.173 million and $782,931 during each successive season respectively. Additionally Kirkpatrick is scheduled to earn [URL="https://twitter.com/#%21/RavensInsider/statuses/204957993849192448"]another $782,931 through a roster bonus in 2015[/URL], which essentially jacks his 2015 salary to $1,565,862.
