Even before the 2019 season ended, we could have assumed that there would be talks about the Steelers taking a running back in the 2020 NFL Draft. James Conner was on the last year of his rookie deal and as missed time in each of his first three seasons.
However, where Pittsburgh would look to take one is a completely different question. Though they drafted Benny Snell in the fourth round last season and Jaylen Samuels still has two years left on his rookie deal, I have reason to believe that they could go running back early in this year’s NFL Draft.
