With free agency less than a week away, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ draft needs could shift depending on the FA signings and the caliber of those signings. That being said, it seems inevitable that the Steelers will be drafting a defensive lineman with one of their first two picks. Some will argue that the Steelers must improve the offense with a wide receiver, but the draft is unusually rich in the trenches, and there is no doubt that it’s among the team’s biggest needs.
While the Steelers haven’t made it a habit over the years to trade up or down in the first round of the draft, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Steelers insider Gerry Dulac thinks they should be considering a trade up to secure a top D-lineman.
