The Pittsburgh Steelers went into the offseason needing to add reliable depth behind OLBs T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, having dealt with the ramifications of not having quality depth last season when Watt went down with a pec injury in Week 1. The initial wave of free agency came and went, and no notable edge rusher was added to the roster. Given the depth in the draft, it was expected that Pittsburgh would draft an OLB at some point, and they did by selecting LB Nick Herbig. Still, Herbig is seen as a tweener that may get kicked inside due to lack of ideal size and length, thus making the need to acquire a proven veteran a priority for Pittsburgh.
