EDGE. Missouri. Charles Harris. 28. player. 55.

Getting pressure on the quarterback has been a serious problem for the Pittsburgh Steelers this season. Heading into Sunday’s games, they ranked dead last with just eight sacks on the year. That’s simply not going to cut it.

Bud Dupree will return next season, but the Steelers should still address the problem in next year’s draft. Even on a terrible Missouri Tigers team, Charles Harris stands out as one of the most impressive pass rushers in all of college football.

Harris is arguably the most technically sound pass rusher in this draft class. The Missouri prospect has an elite spin move at his disposal along with the hand speed to shed blockers.

Scouts will argue that Harris has limited upside given the fact that he already has great technique. Still, Harris should be able to come in and immediately improve the Steelers’ pass rush.
