There appears to never be a dull moment when it comes to the Steelers rivalry with the Ravens.
But before we get to the new news between the two teams that went down late Friday, here's a summary of what each team did as we head into the final day of the 2015 Draft.
Cleveland Browns
For the second straight year, the Browns drafted a running back in the third round. A year after drafting Terrance West, who rushed for 100 yards in his first career game against the Steelers, Cleveland drafted Miami's Duke Johnson Friday night with the 77th pick.
Johnson put together an impressive career at Miami, rushing for over 3,500 yards in three seasons while averaging over 106 yards per game. After overcoming a broken ankle his sophomore year, the 5'9'', 207-pound Johnson bounced back to rush for 1,652 yards and 10 touchdowns his junior season.
After drafting defensive linemen Danny Shelton Thursday night, Cleveland went defensive line again Friday night with the selection of Washington State defensive tackle Xavier Cooper with the 96th pick. Cooper was a destructive force in college, starting 34 of 36 games, tallying 31.5 tackles for loss to go with 13 sacks.
Cincinnati Bengals
For the first time since Marvin Lewis' first draft as Bengals coach in 2003, the Bengals went offense with their first three draft picks. After drafting an offensive tackle in the first round Thursday, Cincinnati selected Oregon left tackle Jake Fisher with the 53rd pick. The Bengals then added another weapon to their passing attack with the selection of Rutgers tight end Tyler Kroft with the 85th pick. At 6'5'' and 246 pounds, Kroft provides Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton with a tall target that also thrived in blocking situations during his time at Rutgers. Kroft will likely replace Jermaine Gresham, who is expected to depart from Cincinnati as a free agent this off season.
The Bengals finally went defense with their third selection, taking TCU linebacker Paul Dawson in the third round. Dawson, who led the Big 12 in tackles last season, was said by NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock to be the most instinctive linebacker he saw on tape all year.
Baltimore Ravens
We saved the most juicy draft news regarding the AFC North and the Steelers for last. According to the Ravens' website and Mark Kaboly of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Baltimore claimed to have stolen Minnesota tight end Maxx Williams in the second round of the NFL Draft. Kaboly tweeted how the Steelers' brass "wasn't happy" when the Ravens grabbed Williams in the second round.
According to Kaboly, the Steelers tried to move up in the second round to take Williams but "couldn't work out a deal." The Ravens did, moving up three spots and taking Williams with the 55th pick in draft. Williams, a 6'4'', 254-pound sophomore caught 36 passes for 569 yards and eight touchdowns for the Gophers last season.
Obviously, there's two sides to every story, and every Steelers fan knows that while a tight end is on Pittsburgh General Manager Kevin Colbert's wish list in this draft, the Steelers main concern was acquiring a cornerback in the second round Friday night. Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reinforced this thought and stated that the Steelers were thinking Ole Miss cornerback Senquez Golson all along.
Steelers fans can take solace with the news on the Ravens website that Baltimore General Manager Ozzie Newsome "cringed" when Pittsburgh selected linebacker Bud Dupree with the 22nd pick on Thursday night. Apparently, Newsome was trying to move up to take the Kentucky defensive standout but couldn't make a deal happen.
Even though their Week 4 match-up is still months away, it appears that the rivalry between the Steelers and Ravens is already in midseason form.
