30. Pittsburgh Steelers

55. There are times when off-the-field concern is trumped by talent. Unless of course the player is an utter nightmare. Tim Williams reportedly has marijuana-related concerns at Alabama, at least according to recent rumors. While not as damning an issue as in years pass, the struggles of somebody like Randy Gregory is certain to scare some teams away from him. That’s a shame too because he’s one of the top 3-4 outside linebackers in this class. <p>Pittsburgh isn’t normally a team to take chances on players with off-the-field concerns. At least not in the first round but Williams is not the kind of talent that comes around often. Then there is the reality that big changes could be coming to their linebacker position. James Harrison will be 39 in 2017. Jarvis Jones will be a free agent as well. This team needs to think about adding more help to their outside pass rush. Williams is worth the calculated risk.</p>.
