The Steelers made several moves to land some potential key contributors on defense this year. Steven Nelson was signed this offseason to help sure up the right cornerback position, and should be a welcome improvement over the frustrating combination of Coty Sensabaugh and Artie Burns.
Perhaps more importantly, the Steelers made a somewhat shocking move – trading up to the 10th overall pick to land Michigan star linebacker, Devin Bush. It stands to reason that he will present a noticeable difference on the Steelers defense, and should be an instant improvement over Jon Bostic at Mack linebacker from last season.
