No. 23 – Minnesota Vikings (from New York Jets via Seattle Seahawks) – Christian Darrisaw (OL)
Darrisaw will likely slot in as a Week 1 starter for the Vikings who need to beef up their offensive line. The 313 tackle was expected to go in the first half of the first round and the Vikings got a great value with the 23rd pick.

No. 24 – Pittsburgh Steelers – Najee Harris (RB)
Harris and the Steelers were linked to each other throughout the draft process, and the fit makes perfect sense. Harris is big, physical, and well-rounded, and the Steelers have an obvious and immediate need at the position. He is likely to be one of the first picks off the board in rookie-only dynasty leagues this offseason.
Every mock draft wins: The #Steelers take #Bama RB Najee Harris at No. 24. I feel like everyone knew this, including Harris.

The Pittsburgh Steelers select Alabama running back Najee Harris.
With six selections in the first round, Alabama is now tied with Miami for the most first-round picks in a single year.
