Yesterday I brought you an article talking about how quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been on-hand to greet the team’s quarterback visitors in preparation for the 2017 NFL Draft. Another facet of the article was the fact that Roethlisberger was pushing for the Pittsburgh Steelers to add some more offensive weapons. And if you consider draft expenditures, he does have a point.
Over the course of nearly the past decade, the Steelers have used their top two draft picks in a manner that has heavily skewed toward the defensive side of the ball, although that figure also includes no fewer than four offensive linemen, three of which constitute their starting group.
