Along with the Steelers, RB James Conner also anticipated the Philadelphia Eagles were interested in drafting him somewhere in the mid-rounds. The Eagles were shopping for running backs, with the Vikings considering them a threat to draft Dalvin Cook in the second round. Conner knew he might be a Day 3 pick, but the Eagles (who took cornerback Rasul Douglas No. 99 overall) and Steelers gave him hope he might land in the third. The Steelers drafted Conner with the 105th overall pick.
