EDGE. Missouri. Charles Harris. 31. player. 55.

The Pittsburgh Steelers recently drafted Bud Dupree, but the promising edge rusher was placed on injured reserve/designated to return. Even when Dupree is back, the Steelers could use another linebacker on the edge to eventually replace Lawrence Timmons.

If Missouri edge rusher Charles Harris falls this late in the first round, the Steelers will have no choice but to grab him. He’s a talented pass rusher who doesn’t rely on just one way to get to the opposing quarterback. That kind of creativity could make Harris a dangerous edge rusher at the next level.

With Harris and Dupree on either side of the offensive line, opposing quarterbacks are going to have to start worrying a lot more about protecting themselves when they take on the Steelers.
