Grading the Pittsburgh Steelers signing of ILB Mark Barron

The Pittsburgh Steelers are a team with several needs across their roster. With the departure of a player like Antonio Brown, the hole left at cornerback and the team’s inability to replace Ryan Shazier at ILB all viewed as glaring needs on the roster.

What did the Steelers do in the first week of free agency? They went out and signed a wide receiver and cornerback. Not in that order, and not to be the undoubted answer at their position, but to be there as depth and players who can contribute for a team who is trying to find the combination which can bring them a seventh Lombardi trophy.
