No, he went early first round!

I'm not sure if you are joking, but in case not, no he didn't, he was drafted 3rd round by Steelers. Vernon Hargreaves was selected first round, Hargrave was picked 3rd round though.
 
I can't wait until John Mitchel gets a hold of Javon.......
 
All these picks are on the raw side, looking forward to their 2018 season I guess.
 
I really like our draft so far.....

Hargrave takes the NT position immediately (almost by default). Burns gets plenty of PT this year. And Davis is starting by game 7.
 
Javon Hargrave, Tajae Sharpe lead Shrine Game standouts

TAMPA, Fla. -- A great week of practice has led up to Saturday's East-West Shrine Game. This game produces NFL starters and, on occasion, superstars.

More than 100 players are selected based on their potential to make an NFL roster with the consensus of all 32 NFL teams taken into consideration. They get their chance to leave an impression with NFL scouts every year, showing off their athleticism against top-level competition while proving to league personnel men that they can take coaching and absorb new information in a short period of time.

The Cardinals' John Brown (2014) and Panthers' Josh Norman (2012), who will face off on Sunday in the NFC Championship Game, are just two of the players that have used the Shrine Game as a launching pad for their NFL careers in recent years.

Here are five players who stood out to me during the week of practice and could break out on Saturday:

» South Carolina State defensive tackle Javon Hargrave has been the best player here. He has an excellent combination of quickness and power. He dominated the one-on-one drills.

I agree....I believe all 3 three will contribute this year.......
 
Nice to see pretty much everyone stoked about a pick(Hargraves).. it's a rare sight.
 
Some will complain that it will take a while for these guys to hit their stride, and it may be so, but there is something to be said for building a team that can still win if Ben starts to drop off in a few years. Would also be nice to be very solid whenever Ben's replacement steps in. Worked really well for Denver last year. Green Bay didn't make a bunch of short term moves trying to win before Favre retired, and Rogers was able to step in with a solid team that has continued to be competitive. The Steelers always take the long view, which is why we've lost more than 10 games only once since 1969.
