Pittsburgh Steelers Address Cornerback Issue, Select Brandon Harris

It seemed that in earlier mock drafts, Brandon Harris was an earlier first-round pick, but he has since fallen into the second round. Nonetheless, Harris is a diamond in the rough that will be watched closely by teams at the end of the round.

Harris has an ideal size and speed combination for the cornerback position, and has produced well at Miami. The Pittsburgh Steelers don't have a cornerback group that strikes fear in the same way that the rest of the defense does, so they need someone who can do just that.

With many tackles for loss at Miami, Harris has no problem making the hard tackles, and he would be a great fit n Pittsburgh. Only person he's had a problem defending in college is Michael Floyd, and he's going back to school anyway.
