The Pittsburgh Steelers spent just two of seven draft picks on the defensive side of the football last weekend. One of those two defensive selections did not come until the seventh round, and it came at arguably their most crowded position at inside linebacker, where they return seven players who were on the 53-man roster last season (or would have been; swapping Joe Schobert for Myles Jack).
Joining the mix is Ole Miss’ Mark Robinson, who started playing linebacker *checks notes* last year. But Kevin Colbert wouldn’t have pulled the trigger on drafting him if he didn’t think that he would have a chance to make the team, and he laid out why in an interview with Pat Kirwan and Jim Miller on SiriusXM Radio recently, recapping the draft.
