One More Pick: Should Pittsburgh Dip into Free Agency?

After winning the AFC North in 2016 with an improved record over 2015 (going 11-5 all season compared to 10-6 in the previous campaign) and reaching the playoffs for the third campaign in a row, capitulating to eventual Super Bowl winners New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game, it might seem a little unfair to suggest that Pittsburgh Steelers still have work to do to in the NFL.

However, with the Steelers fourth in the running for Super Bowl LII, at 11.00 with Bet365, a spare player at cornerback wouldn’t go amiss.

Heath Miller

While the Steelers isn’t a name commonly associated with free agency, the team preferring to stump up big money to fill voids rather than take a punt on an unknown (consider the arrival of Ladarius Green to cover retired tight end Heath Miller as evidence of that particular point), Pittsburgh has used a top draft pick on a back fielder the last three years in a row, bringing in Mike Mitchell from Carolina in 2014, for example.
