After spending a 2017 first-round draft pick on outside linebacker T.J. Watt, the Pittsburgh Steelers probably aren’t likely to use their 28th overall selection in the 2018 NFL Draft on another edge-rusher and especially when you consider that they have bigger needs at the inside linebacker and free safety positions. With that noted, the Steelers should be on edge all offseason when it comes to adding a few outside linebackers either through the draft or free agency.
While Watt should now be locked into a starting spot on the right side of the Steelers defense for the next several seasons and more, the future of the starter on the opposite side of him, former first-round draft pick Bud Dupree, is currently up in the air.
