Pittsburgh Steelers Film Room: Safety Jessie Bates

The Pittsburgh Steelers went out and got a legitimate safety in free agency in Morgan Burnett. His experience and versatility fills a major need in the defense right away.

However, the Steelers still would be wise to invest into some youth in the draft. Burnett is 29 years old so he is a stop-gap in a sense.

The safety crop in the 2018 class is very deep. There are many safeties in the top end of the draft and some sleepers as well.

One safety I believe the team needs to target is Jessie Bates III from Wake Forest.
