After eight straight years of getting defensive players with the Pittsburgh Steelers’ premium draft picks, defensive coordinator Keith Butler is not chafing over the front office’s decision to use their first-round pick this year on a running back, or even their first four picks on Matt Canada’s side of the ball.
That’s not because he’s learning valuable lessons about sharing, but because he understands it’s for the good of the team—and for his unit, as well. This offseason hasn’t been overly kind to his guys, but they still have a lot of talent, including blue-chip guys, and they were able to add some depth in the draft.
