I don't know Steelers picking Harris was flashy and they let go of Connor...but they didn't really address their OL which was a bit problem imo...I think giving Ben another weapon out of the backfield as a receiver could help a bit
the NFL has been trending away from 1st picks on RB, with a few understandable exceptions (Barkley, MacCaffrey, Elliott (for a while he looked good)).
I think the Jags wanted to bring some familiarity for Lawrence, but they probably could have traded back a little if set on Etienne....
