Round 1: Najee Harris, RB, Alabama

Harris has been the consensus first-round choice for the Steelers since the mock draft season began. He is a tough runner that is a dynamic play-maker. The issue for the running game is the offensive line more than those doing the actual running. Harris would be a nice pickup but it is still neglecting the actual issue.

Round 2: Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, USC

St. Brown is an interesting option for the black and gold at this point in the draft. He had a dip in production in his final year at USC but he has all the intangibles that this team looks for in its receivers. He would be a great addition to an already loaded roster.

Round 3: Kenny Yeboah, TE, Mississippi

Yeboah is from Allentown, PA so he would be playing in his home state with this selection. He had a really good year of production after transferring to Ole Miss from Temple. His move brought him some benefits in production increase as the big man creates a bigger target. He can lineup all over the field but he does need work on his blocking ability.

Round 4: Shaun Wade, DB, Ohio State

Wade moved to the outside corner position for Ohio State and he had very high hopes. He has proven his ability to be an amazing slot corner consistently but he did not have as great of a year while on the perimeter. The National Championship against future top-ten pick, Devonta Smith was not pretty. Smith is in a league of his own so scouts should go a little easier on Wade. He is still a solid prospect that can play all over the secondary.
