Pot luck, what round will Steelers draft a rb?

    I am going to say the 5th, whats yours?
    Or maybe you don't have the Steelers drafting a RB?

    Yep, 5th or later. I wonder if they're zoned in on the Florida kid.

    I'll say not at all. Maybe a 7th rounder if you have too.

    We have too many other needs. I think with Williams can get us through, the Bell suspension. You still have Josh Harris who I think they are high on, With Archer who knows? The guy didn't show much. I say try to get a couple Rookies who go undrafted. Sometimes you find some good players that way. Willie Parker for example.

    Yeah I agree with this.

    I wouldn't draft a rookie RB until we actually needed one. With DeAngelo here we don't need one yet. Bring in some priority FA's and sign the best of the bunch to the PS, unless of course, something stupid happens in the draft and Gurley falls to the 3rd, etc.

    That's my thinking, too. Unless a stud falls to where he's by far the BPA, I expect very late or UDFA.

    I'd prefer to draft one very late, or not at all, but I wonder if the team will jump a bit before then. I've done countless mock draft simulations on the fan speak site, and no matter what big boards I use I am frequently running into situations in the 4th - 6th rounds where a really solid RB or 2 is falling, and seems to be the BPA. There may be a point where it simply makes sense to add another RB to the stable early in day 3.
