Under Omar Khan and Andy Weidl, the Pittsburgh Steelers have invested heavily in one side of the trenches. They’ve repeatedly used high draft picks on the offensive line, though how well that group develops remains to be seen. With no more picks needed there, Bob Labriola says the front office must show the same energy when it comes to the other side of the line.

Responding to a reader question, Labriola became the latest to call on Pittsburgh to address defensive line with vigor.

“I believe the Steelers must treat their defensive line with the same urgency with which they have treated their offensive line over the previous couple of offseasons,” Labriola wrote in his Asked and Answered column.
