Steelers get much-needed TE coverage with safety Sean Davis in second round

Talk about cornering the market. The Steelers go defensive backs with the first two picks, erasing any doubt about which position they intend to improve. Second-round safety Sean Davis from Maryland teams with first-round cornerback Artie Burns from Miami to bolster a secondary that ranked among the league worst in pass defense in 2015. It was time. With the 58th pick, the Steelers got one of their top-rated safeties, a heavy hitter with coverage experience and 300-plus tackles in two seasons.

My take: Look, there's a lot to like here. Davis has experience at corner and safety.
