PFW draft analyst Nolan Nawrocki answers questions from readers about how Brandon Harris fits in Pittsburgh, what the Bills will do at No. 3 and how he feels about Warren Moon.
From Ed Coutu: How good of a fit scheme-wise would u say Brandon Harris is with the Steelers? And what are your thoughts on him as a prospect?
Brandon Harris fits well with the Steelers’ physical style. Historically, Pittsburgh has preferred more length in their cornerbacks, with both Bryant McFadden and Ike Taylor standing near or above six feet tall, and some of the best to have played in Pittsburgh, such as Rod Woodson and Mel Blount, had great size. However, the Steelers struggled in the Super Bowl because they could not contain the Packers’ spread attack, and more agility is needed in the slot to handle the likes of Donald Driver and Wes Welker. The Steelers can compromise some height for more agility and body control, which is enhanced in more compact, quick-twitch corners the size of Harris. The son of a coach, he would be a solid pick for the Steelers and could readily contribute and strengthen an aging secondary.
From Christopher Smering: Who will the Bills take at No. 3? Also, where do you see Jake Locker going and in what round?
The Bills have more pressing needs than quarterback, but they have the oldest GM and owner in the league and want to win now. Cam Newton could provide the most spark immediately.
Jake Locker is an intriguing talent with clear first-round physical traits, outstanding athletic ability, terrific arm strength and all the ability to become a franchise quarterback. His best landing spot would be to a team that has the patience to allow him to develop. The best thing to happen to him could be slipping to the back of the first round where he does not have to be thrust into the starting lineup immediately. In a quarterback-driven league, with too many teams carrying pressing needs at the position, he still has a chance to fit into the top 15. He is highly competitive with sound intangibles and work habits and will warrant strong consideration from the Vikings and Dolphins.
From Dennis Keyser: How badly would you like to punch Warren Moon in the throat?
Not at all. I respect what Moon accomplished as a player and can appreciate his loyalty to Cam Newton as an advisor. Everyone in the NFL is fully aware that Moon has a vested interest in Cam’s future. Unfortunately, by raising the issue of racial bias, he only created more concerns in the NFL evaluation community about how Newton and his camp will respond to adversity when it strikes, and the questions were already considerable enough. I don't expect it to have an impact on Newton's draft standing, but who Newton chooses to trust and let advise him in the coming years can have a direct impact on his future in the NFL.
