I think they will make it a point to use one of our three picks on an ILB, since that position could use an immediate talent upgrade to compete with the likes of Vince Williams, Jon Bostic, Tyler Matakevich, and L.J. Fort. How the board falls will determine which early pick is used to fill that hole, but I wouldn't be shocked if we used the other early picks to take a potential future starter at RB, WR, OG, TE, or even QB (especially with upcoming question marks surrounding the future of Le'Veon Bell, Martavis Bryant, Ramon Foster, Vance McDonald, and Ben Roethlisberger). While fans look at the 2018 draft with the 2018 season in mind, the front office might look at the 2018 draft with the 2019 season in mind.
Bell...AGAIN!

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. -
I actually said that I liked Guice as a player, but then went on to note that our recent history of using early picks on RB's was much more successful when we used a 2nd round pick on Bell than when we used a 1st round pick on Mendenhall. In no way did I compare Guice to Mendenhall as a player.

I’m not opposed to them using the second round pick on a runningback but do you see a run on runningbacks starting at the near top of round two?Comment

Perhaps, but considering that there is Derrius Guice, Sony Michel, Nick Chubb, Ronald Jones, Kerryon Johnson, and Rashaad Penny all in the the 2nd round mix, I doubt that all of them come off the board before we pick in round 2. But if they do, there will still be guys like Jaylen Samuels, Royce Freeman, Kalen Ballage, Bo Scarbrough, etc. a little bit later on...so no need to panic. Plus, we still have Le'Veon Bell and James Conner for 2018, so it isn't exactly the most pressing immediate need on our roster anyway.Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

I really like Scarborough and Ballage. I would prefer to roll with ILB or TE with that first pick. Both areas can use an immediate upgrade.Perhaps, but considering that there is Derrius Guice, Sony Michel, Nick Chubb, Ronald Jones, Kerryon Johnson, and Rashaad Penny all in the the 2nd round mix, I doubt that all of them come off the board before we pick in round 2.

In terms of TE this year, I'm not in love with Hurst, Goedert, Gesicki, or Andrews. If I'm spending a first round pick on a TE, I'm looking for the next Heath Miller. I don't see that potential in any of the TE's in this class. They all strike me as day two guys. Complementary type guys rather than future Pro Bowlers.Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
