From: Yahoo Sports!
LAST SEASON: Won Super Bowl—their sixth, a record.
THEY NEED: WR, CB, LB, DL depth, maybe an extra OL.
THEY DON’T NEED: QB, RB.
POSSIBLE FIRST PICK: CB Darius Butler, Mack, Harvin, Nicks.
OUTLOOK: Steelers traditionally use the draft as wisely as any team—and they’ve won Super Bowl twice in four seasons because they do. Director of football operations Kevin Colbert must be creative this time as Steelers draft 32nd. Another WR and CB are necessities, and defensive linemen all are in their 30s. They didn’t take big hit in free agency that some Super Bowl winners do— most key players already were locked up.
One possible loss is irreplaceable. Owner Dan Rooney has been chosen as U.S. ambassador to Ireland and, while he won’t leave organization if confirmed, this will be first time since Rooney was a toddler in 1930s he won’t be fixture at Steelers practices and games. Steelers can’t rely on this draft to fill that huge void.
