Wanted to ask this question, didn't want to thread jack... so here we are.
You get to the 30th selection and the draft has unfolded completely in our favor.
Best on the board at positions of need:
OLB - McKinley
TE - Njoku
S - Peppers
CB - Awuzie
Who do you take? And NO, you cannot trade back. (I wanna know which guy you think makes the biggest splash of this bunch and why)

1.20 - Tailiese Fuaga, OT, Oregon St
2.51 - Zach Frazier, C, WVU
3.84 - Luke Mccaffery, WR, Rice
3.98 - Andru Phillips, CB, Kentucky
4.117 - Maason Smith, DT, LSU
6.178 - Travis Glover, OT, Ga State
6.195 - Dillon Johnson, RB, Washington
If he's available, I take Njoku. There will be other, nearly as good options at OLB, S and CB available when it's my turn in round 2, but the drop-off at TE will be greater. Plus, Njoku can give immediate help in red zone situations.
I think Awuzie is a day 1 starter at Nickel. Njoku would definitely be the splashiest pick of the bunch and Ben would fall in love and AB would pout. Tak probably opens up on the pup and Peppers is 2 years away from being an effective 4 down player.
Peppers had the diluted sample at the combine, Takk has some medical questions, and Chido is part outside corner/part slot corner/part safety, which is an awesome quality to have in a backup DB, but I'd prefer a guy I take in round 1 to excel at one thing in particular and focus on being a starter there. I think I'd go Njoku as a pure BPA pick, but then would focus all my attention on defense with my next 4 picks, waiting until late on Saturday to address offensive depth.
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
let me first say that i'm completely unsure what i would do - but, could play devil's advocate for any selection... having said that:Originally Posted by BradshawsHairdresser
which almost as good OLB will be there? Willis will be gone without a trade up - some suggest he may land at the end of the first... you're looking MAYBE Rivers/Bowser in round 2...

With all the problems they have had with Bell and Bryant I don't see how they can possibly take Peppers
Interesting. For all our defensive woes, the early majority is leaning toward offensive firepower.
Is Njoku+Bowser a better get than Tak+Evan Engram?

Njoku. Really good fall back option if Green goes down again.
