Even with nine draft selections after trading up for Devin Bush, the Steelers (to the surprise of many) elected to forgo the safety position.
In 2018, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected Terrell Edmunds in the first round. The Virginia Tech product sneaking into round one was perhaps the biggest first round shocker – as many draft experts had a 2nd or 3rd round grade on Edmunds.
Looking back at it, had they not taken Edmunds, the Steelers could have been in a much worse situation than they are right now.
As it stands, the Steelers starters heading into 2019 are Sean Davis at free safety and Terrell Edmunds at strong safety.
