Zach Harrison’s size makes him something of a tweener in the Steelers defense but his ridiculous athleticism for a man his size makes him too good to pass up.

Fashanu is something of a tweener with some projecting him more of a guard but he looks the part of a big, powerful right tackle in the Steelers scheme.

CB Lathan Ransom-Ohio State

Ohio State has a knack for turning out long press corners and Ransom is the next great one. Physical, a solid run defender and fearless in coverage. Also has some positional versatility at safety.
