If the Pittsburgh Steelers plan to draft defensive line in the first round, they’re not showing their hand. In fact, it’s worth noting that they haven’t brought in any of the big-name defensive line guys for pre-draft visits. In some cases, they didn’t even have a lot of points of contact throughout the whole process.
It’s enough to make some people banking on this move concerned. Many believe the Steelers have backed themselves into a corner, with defensive line a first-round must. And yet they have shown no great urgency, at least in public. During free agency, they released starter Larry Ogunjobi, signing journeyman Daniel Ekuale.
