30. Pittsburgh Steelers

Missouri. Charles Harris . 30. player. 55. James Harrison is approaching 40-years old. Jarvis Jones left for a new home in free agency. In truth the only proven pass rusher they have on the roster who isn’t nearing retirement is Bud Dupree and he has injury concerns. The Pittsburgh Steelers know they can’t reach a Super Bowl until they have a pass rush that other offenses can’t scheme away from like the Patriots did in the AFC championship. That requires at least two. <p>Missouri made the mistake of trying to change how Charles Harris played last season. They didn’t let him be aggressive and as a result his numbers suffered. This young man may not be a flashy athlete but he’s a natural pass rusher. He has enough explosion to get off the snap quick and one of the most devastating spin moves in the class. Keep him on the attack and he’ll find a way to put heat on the quarterback.</p>. OLB
