00:03 - All right, let's go to Pittsburgh now here

00:04 in the battle between Najee Harris and Jalen Warren.

00:07 You have Najee as RB20 going right around 67

00:11 and then Warren is an RB27 going around 85.

00:14 I'd rather Harris, but you're the expert.

00:16 - Yeah, typically I'd rather have Harris too.

00:19 And I think at 20, Harris is a good investment.

00:22 But I will say this,

00:24 the cheaper you get Harris, the more I like him.

00:26 If you can get him at 24, as opposed to 27,

00:29 I like it a lot more as a 24th running back off the board.

00:32 So, and he might fall there.

00:34 I mean, the expert consensus rankings, he's actually 24.

00:37 Jalen Warren, again, right behind him at 27.

00:39 So Warren is intriguing because of, you know,

00:43 where we're at in the career of a guy like Russell Wilson,

00:46 you know, we get to dump off the ball a lot,

00:48 but I still think I agree with you that, you know,

00:51 it's still gonna be a run first team.

00:53 It's still the Pittsburgh Steelers identity,

00:54 the defense to get better year over year,

00:56 run the football, play defense.

00:57 Warren is probably the more dynamic explosive guy.

01:00 He's probably the guy you wanna put wagers on

01:02 for the overs and things like that.

01:03 But it's sort of the fantasy.

01:04 I think boring Najee Harris is still the way I prefer to go.

01:08 But if it did shift at some point, it wouldn't shock me.

01:11 I will say this, when, not if,

01:14 the Justin Fields move gets made,

01:16 I think then Najee Harris would become,

01:20 I think Najee Harris becomes even more valuable

01:22 because I think then you're really gonna commit

01:24 to running the football.

01:25 And Justin Fields is gonna be able to go from third

01:28 and longs into first downs.

01:30 And next thing you know, that's Najee Harris at the goal line.

01:33 And I think that's something to keep in mind.
