The Pittsburgh Steelers watched the Philadelphia Eagles dominate the Kansas City Chiefs by winning in the trenches. In a rare occurrence, they made Patrick Mahomes look uncomfortable. While not a new theory, many are now arguing that the Steelers are overdue to pursue that path. Even Bob Labriola is making his opinion known, writing for the team’s website.
“I believe the Steelers must seriously consider spending premium draft picks (first three rounds) on defensive linemen”, he wrote. “What they need there is a successor to Cam Heyward, or at least the next Stephon Tuitt. Wide receiver should be addressed, and with top-of-the-depth-chart types at that, but my thought is that it’s time for the defensive line to get some serious attention”.
