The Pittsburgh Steelers believe they’ve addressed some of the concerns at the inside linebacker room with the signings of veterans Cole Holcomb and Elandon Roberts, and in the process they may have landed a top 32 player at the position.
According to Pro Football Focus’ Trevor Sikkema, Holcomb — who spent the last four seasons with Washington — landed at No. 31 overall in the linebacker rankings Thursday morning, edging out Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch for the final spot in the rankings. Holcomb is part of Tier 7 in Sikkema’s rankings along with the likes of Miami’s Jerome Baker, Denver’s Alex Singleton, Detroit’s Malcolm Rodriguez and Vander Esch.
