With all the speculation about quarterback and offensive line in the 2022 NFL Draft for the Pittsburgh Steelers, one position that continues to be overlooked as an area of need for the black and gold remains at inside linebacker.
Though it’s unlikely the Steelers spend a first-round draft pick on an inside linebacker for the second time in three seasons, it’s worth noting that the top of the linebacker class is loaded with names like Georgia’s Nakobe Dean, Utah’s Devin Lloyd, and Alabama’s Christian Harris. While value seems to be more on Day 2 and Day 3 at the position due to the depth overall, CBS Sports’ Ryan Wilson has the Steelers taking a big swing at the position in his latest first-round mock draft.
