55. The Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the best offenses in football but came up just short because of the defense. They’ve drafted some solid players for that defense in recent years but they need time to grow. At 38 years old, OLB James Harrison is not going to grow with him. <p>So the Steelers need to draft his eventual replacement before he gets injured or washed up. And Missouri is as good a place as any to bet on taking your next edge rusher from. Aldon Smith, Kony Ealy and Shane Ray went through there before they started sacking NFL quarterbacks.</p> <p>Charles Harris is coming out of Missouri this year and he was taught well like the rest of them. He’s been one of the best in the nation at getting after opposing QBs the last two years. He can stand up and put his hand in the dirt and still explode with his quick first step.</p> <p>He has a variety of ways to generate pressure including a great spin move and a swim move. Sure, he’s plenty athletic but he’s one of those guys that just knows how to get to the QB. So he’ll be ready to do so as soon has Harrison starts to show his age. </p>. OLB. Missouri. Charles Harris. 30. player
