Eric Edholm's Commentary
All the pre-draft buzz was on Harris, and it certainly fit what the Steelers look for in their backs: He’s big, he’s an excellent receiver and he can make people miss at 232 pounds. Harris doesn’t hit home runs, and that’s fine if — and it’s a big if — the Steelers can find some better blockers up front. Right now, that’s their biggest need.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Remember Heath Miller? Freiermuth could be that type of tight end. With Vance McDonald retired and Eric Ebron signed for only another year, the Steelers needed an option such as this. He’s a great fit for this city and team, just as Najee Harris is. We shall see if ignoring the offensive line will come back to bite the Steelers. The pick is a good one on the surface. Freiermuth can threaten the seam, is a hard worker and competes well as a blocker.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Pittsburgh’s first two picks look better now that they landed what likely is their starting center in 2021 this late in the process. Green has played guard and center and moves extremely well in tight quarters, making up for his lack of ideal length and textbook power. He’s a riser who could be a sleeper.
