    Harris in round 1, Center or Tackle in round 2. Steelers need a productive running game and this would be a great start. Another plus, Ben wouldn’t have to throw 50 times a game.

      But I'm thinking OT and OC in the first 2 rounds. Ben and our future QBs will need them.

          I disagree. The NFL is littered with Alabama busts. Reuben Foster, DJ Fluker, Damien Harris, Ronnie Harrison, OJ Howard, Anfernee Jennings, Dre KIrkpatrick, Terrell Lewis, AJ McCarron, Reggie Ragland, Tim Harris, A'Shawn Robinson, Irv Smith, Dalvin Tomlinson, Chance Warmack, Quinnen Williams, TJ Yeldon. Gimme a break. Nobody puts more first round picks on different teams than who drafted them than Alabama. I'll take the field vs Najee. He is NOT special. Pro player comp=Devonta Freeman

            Derrick Henry says Roll Tide.

            Devonta Freeman is 5'8" and 209 lbs.

            Najee Harris is 6'2" and 229 lbs.

              So your sure he's not Julio Jones, Landon Collins, Amari Cooper, Marcell Darius, CJ Mosley, D'onta Hightower, or Mimkah Fitzpatrick?

              What I am sure is the Steeler need a Running back is great and Steeler fans will quickly embrace Harris if selected in the first round.
              Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.

              Our 2024 draft looks to be grade A. Our 2023 draft is an A. The roster is talented, but Mike Tomlin is still the head coach.

              *** Mike Tomlin is the best coach since the AFL- NFL merger that has not won a playoff game in 8 seasons or more. It's either him or Lewis. ***

                Seen one site comparing his measurables to Joe Mixon.... that ain't #24 worthy.

                  Good rb's come in all size packages. I think Harris and Freeman share similar styles. For the record Freeman had a couple really good years with Atlanta. I think Harris is a good RB. Just not "special"

                  Special is Adrian Peterson, LaDanian Tomlinson, Todd Gurley (pre injury)

                  Trent Richardson also says Roll Tide

                        those 3 special backs were drafted top 10.

                        we're picking 24, nearly the bottom quarter of the first round

                          Najee Harris might not even be available at #24:

                          "The Dolphins picks a year ago left some scratching their heads. So while I think taking RB Najee Harris at No. 18 seems a little rich, I hear a strong buzz about him being very much in contention for that selection."

                            As much as I like Dickerosn from Alabama as Center, I'm leaning more to thinking that RB is indeed gonna be their 1st round selection. They obviously need an upgrade, and another playmaker on offense would be great. It's gonna be one of those two backs. Prefer Harris.

                              I honestly believe Dickerson will tumble due to injury history. Every year, players fall for all kinds of reasons. And with several good Centers in this draft, I would not be surprised to see Dickerson fall into 3-4 round range.

                              Tomlin was showing a lot of interest in Myers at the Ohio St pro day. And who were Colbert and Tomlin checking out at Georgia? Trey Hill?
                              The people that are trying to make the world worse never take a day off, why should I?

                              Light up the darkness.
