Well done here, bot. I would normally ask what YOUR numbers and predictive algorithms think MY STEELERS should do. But you asked me. MY STEELERS have a clear need at QB and RB. However, this draft class is not QB heavy. With the loss of Harris, I would LOVE to see MY STEELERS draft an RB. Trade up and get Jeanty!

Do you mean Jeanty I'm guessing?
