The more I study Harris the more I like him. 6 foot 2 230 but terrific balance due to thick lower half. Despite not being a blazer he has elite athleticism and short area quickness. His feet remind me of Bettis. The way he microsteps to find cracks in the D is old school Bettis. He has terrific hands, power for days--guy is an absolute bulldozer. His vision and patience are elite. He will be a VERY special back in the NFL. And I pray he is our pick.

Eiienne does have home run speed. Who's better could depend on the man calling the plays, and OL blocking style. Do you want a chain mover, or a guy who's is easier to stop, but might hit a homer more often. I'd be happy with either player.Last edited by Joel Buchsbaum; 04-13-2021, 04:56 PM.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. ***Comment

But it should ultimately depend on how the team views the value of the actual player, not the position. So I'll be OK if it happens (even though I hope someone else takes him off the board first)Comment

If Harris is there at 18 to 20 , I think we will think about moving up to get him. I believe he is the back the Steelers covet. He will be our 1st rd pick. Connor is now gone and Snell is not a bellcow guy.Comment

My preference would be to get a free agent back (they are cheap) and go oline in the draft. But as we are not pursuing free agents, I agree we are looking to draft one.
As our cupboards will be so bare I won't hate the pick if it is a back.sigpic
In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

I am thinking the OL still needs upgrades myself. If Harris is selected the OL will still need upgraded.Help me find my post proving I am a Yinzer!
I will tip my hat to Tomlin if he has a winning record and the team makes the play-offs in the upcoming season.Comment

Too many holes to fill this year and next to give up draft capital IMO.Comment
