Pittsburgh SteelersRecord: 12-4 | Needs: OG, CB, ROT, NT, WR
Brandon Harris, CB, Miami (FL)Scenario 1: Harris is not an elite playmaker but he's more physical than his size suggests and has the athleticism to help upgrade the cornerback unit and push for the No. 2 job.
Scenario 2: Pick the best available offensive linemen. Watkins would be a perfect fit if available but Carpenter, Ijalana or Lehigh's Will Rackley are also possibilities.
Scenario 3: Pick for value if someone falls down the board. Taylor could be available because of durability/character concerns, and while tight end is not a pressing need, Notre Dame's Kyle Rudolph is a first-round talent and current TE Heath Miller has been dinged up in recent years.
Green Bay PackersRecord: 10-6 | Needs: DE, OLB, OG, WR, RB
Akeem Ayers, OLB, UCLAScenario 1: Ayers could provide some versatility with his ability to flash as a pass-rusher, drop into coverage and also play some inside if needed.
Scenario 2: The Packers could see a front-seven player with a higher grade than Ayers -- likely Clayborn or Heyward -- fall to this spot and offer a good combination of need and value.
Scenario 3: Take the best available offensive lineman on their board, whether it's Watkins, Rackley, Ijalana, Carpenter or even TCU's Marcus Cannon.
