While there are still six games left in the regular season and the playoffs to follow, plenty of fans and analysts have already started looking at this year’s crop of 2024 NFL Draft prospects as well as veterans who are upcoming free agents to potentially pursue this summer to improve their respective teams.
Brad Spielberger of Pro Football Focus has been pairing NFL teams with a college prospect and upcoming free agent at various points throughout the season, having picked safety as Pittsburgh’s primary need to address back in October. However, Spielberger now sees inside linebacker as a key area to address this upcoming offseason pointing to the injury of LB Cole Holcomb as well as the state of the rest of the room as a reason to add another player who can contribute in 2024.
