The Steelers picked Senquez Golson 56th overall last Friday with mixed reviews. Fans like his skill at corner, but not his size. The big question is, how much does height really matter?
As the Steelers defense began to age the past few seasons and breakdown in big moments, it became clear the biggest needs were in the secondary. Then, in the offseason, Ike Taylor and Troy Polamalu retired shifting even more focus to these spots. Going into the 2015 draft, cornerback was arguably the biggest need for the Steelers. They watched as the top three corners came off of the board ahead of their selection last Thursday.
