We’ll know the complete Pittsburgh Steelers 2019 draft class come Saturday night and odds are good it wuill include at least seven players as the team’s currently scheduled to make 10 selections this year. Regardless of the amount of players draft this year by the Steelers, general manager Kevin Colbert made it clear on Monday during the team’s annual pre-draft press conference that the longer those new players can sit and watch and thus not have play to much, the better it’ll likely be for them and the team in the long run.
“None of those signings will preclude us from taking a corner, a linebacker, or a receiver,” Colbert said Monday during an answer he gave to a question about the team now not necessarily needing to draft a conerback, wide receiver or inside linebacker early this year due to the free agent signings of Steven Nelson, Donte Moncrief and Mark Barron this offseason.
