That would be a haul there. But I don't know why everyone is high on Witherspoon. You watch his tape and his tackling is atrocious. As for run support, there is none, worse than Deion Sanders..

Getting Harris at 4.28 is a steal. Kid is a player.

[FordFairLane]

30: R1P30 WR MIKE WILLIAMS LB CLEMSON
Horrible run and every need position of the Steelers. I stick to my board and Williams is head and shoulders above anyone on the board. He's 6-4 210lbs big play threat and is a lot like Bryant minus the off field issues.

62: R2P30 EDGE T.J. WATT WISCONSIN
Get our edge rusher.

94: R3P30 S MARCUS MAYE FLORIDA
Maye should be Mitchell's replacement in 2018.

105: R3P41 TE ADAM SHAHEEN ASHLAND
Shaheen is a raw tight end and insurance for Green.

136: R4P29 CB CAMERON SUTTON TENNESSEE
Later on CB than I wanted but Sutton is a steal here. Easily could be a second round pick.

174: R5P29 QB JEROD EVANS VIRGINIA TECH
Evans had a stellar and underrated season. Probably should have stayed one more season but if he falls this far lets draft him and groom him.

214: R6P29 RB JEREMEY MCNICHOLS BOISE ST.
Extreme value here.

249: R7P30 LB JAYON BROWN

[FordFairLane]

Round 1 Pick 30: T.J. Watt, OLB, Wisconsin (B+)
I think the Steelers are set on going for an edge pass rusher and Watt is someone I know they like. Nice fit and good scenario for him. Come in to spell Harrison and not be forced into starting. As the season continues he probably gets more snaps in the rotation and perhaps next year is the starter with Harrison spelling him.

Round 2 Pick 30: Josh Jones, SS, NC State (B+)
Reminds me of Mike Mitchell with a little Troy. Troy in the sense he can play SS, FS, CB, LB and Mitchell in the sense he comes in to lay people out. Again probably don't start but gives us depth and probably a replacement as soon as next year.

Round 3 Pick 30: Sidney Jones, CB, Washington (A)
If Jones is around this late I have to pull the trigger. He definitely is an outside CB and has the speed, length, and hands you look for to be a true #1 CB. With Burns we might end up with two #1 CB's.

Round 3 Pick 41 (COMP): Chris Godwin, WR, Penn State (A+)
I would love to see Godwin here but he might be gone before we pick in round two and to be honest wouldn't totally shock me to see him picked before us in round one. Yes, he's that good. He reminds me a lot of Allen Robinson and Anquon Boldin but has better speed. This would push Bryant to either shape up or ship out.

Round 4 Pick 28: Jeremy Sprinkle, TE, Arkansas (A-)
I think the Steelers go into camp with James and Green and feel good but Green is a hit away from never playing football again and Sprinkle gives us some insurance and some depth. He can block and catch very well. Not going to be Gronk but he could end up being Heath. Not a bad ceiling.

Round 5 Pick 29: Shaquill Griffin, CB, UCF (B-)
Versatile DB who can play CB or S. He gives me insurance in case Jones doesn't pan out and gives us depth. I don't see Gay making the team and Sensabaugh isn't set in stone either. Jones will be IR'd in this scenario so that leaves us Burns, Cockrell, Golson, Sensabaugh and Griffin. Griffin has nice size at 6-1 200lbs but runs a legit sub 4.4 with over 38" vert. He also had 15 pass deflections and 4 picks last year.

Round 6 Pick 29: Aaron Jones, RB, Texas-El Paso (B)
Gives us some depth at RB and someone to push Kniles and Toussaint. Jones is a very underrated athlete and his ability to plant and go and his north south running style and ability to shed tackles I feel is a great fit for us. I feel he needs a little more patience at the LOS but I really like his tape.

Round 7 Pick 30: Joshua Dobbs, QB, Tennessee (B-)
Get us a practice squad QB for 2017 and a guy to push for a roster spot next year. Dobbs is physically gifted so lets get him into camp and see what we can do with him.
