With the 2018 NFL Draft now less than a month away most fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers can immediately define the team’s biggest needs now that free agency is seemingly over. Ask any Steeler fan what the team’s first-round draft pick should be this year and most will likely tell you it should be an inside linebacker or a safety, even though one of each were signed via free agency just a few weeks ago.
Nearly every year since his first in Pittsburgh (2000), Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert has probably said at one time or another during the offseason that he’s not above taking the best player available to the team in any round of any draft regardless of if the position that player plays isn’t really perceived as a big need, and especially when it comes to first-round selections.
