The Steelers have an obvious need for a quality running back. Here’s why CBS Sports has them taking one early in their latest NFL mock draft.

After a promising start on the ground this year that included 5 straight games of over 100 yards rushing, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been abysmal at running the football ever since. Over their last 10 games, they have just one 100-yard performance on the ground as a team, and they have failed to reach 50 total rushing yards 6 times over this span.
