    Najee Harris is SPECIAL

    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.
    Trolls are people too.

    I agree and think if Harris is still there when we pick at #24 that he will be our selection.

      Wouldnt make me mad either, that said if both are available, I would rather have Etienne. He has insane speed. Homerun type speed.

        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.

        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. ***

          I think it would be nice to have a RB that wont get caught from behind once he is past the LB's. Been quite a while since we had that type of speed at RB

            I think he’s a better prospect coming out than Henry was.

              I think so too, even though I would generally prefer not to draft a RB because it's kind of a luxury pick.

              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)

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

                  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.

                    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.

                    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.

                          I really hope we don't move up.

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

                            Harris was my pick early on and still is. I just hope he lasts until #24.
