With the 2022 NFL Draft now little more than a week away, the Pittsburgh Steelers do have one glaring hole in their starting lineup, at the strong safety position. With each passing day, it is becoming less and less obvious that they will fill that hole before rookies start hearing their names called—whether they intend to or not.
It certainly has appeared as though that was their intention. They have been attached at some point this offseason to at least four free-agent safeties, including their own, Terrell Edmunds. The most notable is of course All-Pro Tyrann Mathieu, who is among the most significant remaining free agents.
