Friday Night Happy Hour: Free Agency Looming

Welcome back to BTSC’s Friday night open thread:

It’s that time of year again folks. On Monday, the NFL’s legal tampering period begins. Ryland and I put out both of our offseason blueprints in preparation, but now I want to turn the spotlight on you. You won’t need to go full offseason mode, but I’m curious: If you were given control and were able to get one player in Free Agency and one player in the draft, which two players are you picking?
I’m fairly certain that Najee Harris will be playing for a new team in 2025. I wish him luck, he was a professional despite the team not giving him the best environment to succeed in. I also think he had a tough act to follow, especially as a first rounder, with the Steelers previously enjoying Le’Veon Bell and James Conner as lead backs. Which team do you think he ends up on? Are there any teams you don’t want to see him sign with?
Have any of you been running mock drafts? I like to use PFF’s but if you’re looking for a simulator that lets you do all seven rounds for free, Pro Football Network has a good one. I’m the type of draft nerd that can never get enough mocks. If you’ve run one you want to share, or want to use the links above to do one tonight, share a photo/screenshot of your results in the comments and I’ll try to give my thoughts on as many as I can.
Steelers Trivia: Last year, Patrick Queen was given the largest contract to an external free agent in franchise history at three years and $41 million. Can you name the four other men that round out the Steelers' top five? Bonus points if you remember how much they were paid and/or the year they signed. As always, I’ll post the answers in the comments around 11 pm EST/8 PM PST. Just look for Seattle_Steeler21.
