In years past, it has been easier to narrow down Pittsburgh’s draft needs. With an aging James Harrison and a failing Bud Dupree on the roster in 2017, edge defender was clearly the Steelers target in the draft. Fortunately, T.J. Watt fell into their lap.
In 2016, the Steelers were desperate for a cornerback when they reached for Artie Burns, and in 2018, they needed a safety to play opposite of Sean Davis before they decided to take Terrell Edmunds in the first round.
This year is different. Not only do the Steelers not have a first-round pick, but it’s hard to narrow down which need is the most important.
