If you have been following many experts’ opinions on the Pittsburgh Steelers needs, and who they feel best fits the bill in the upcoming 2018 NFL Draft, many have predicted Boise State linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (LVE) to be the man the Steelers should take.
With the 28th pick, Vander Esch would certainly fill Pittsburgh’s need for an inside linebacker, but there are two different sides of the LVE discussion. There are those, like BTSC’s own Nick Martin, who love Vander Esch and believe he is a player who can plug and play immediately.
