Cornerback And Edge Rusher Low Priorities For Steelers This Draft Season

The 2020 draft offers good depth at two positions Pittsburgh has focused on for the past several years: edge rushers and corners. A quick look at The Draft Network’s “predictive” board shows no fewer than twenty (20) edge rushers and seventeen (17) CB’s in the top 150 players; i.e., predicted to go in Rounds 1-4. The Edge Rushers are all in the top 125!

Adding in the twenty-two (22) wide receivers and sixteen (16) offensive tackles gives a total of 75 players. In other words, this good, centrist board suggests that fully half of the selections in rounds 1-4 will go to one of those four positions.
