Over at the Post-Gazette, Ed Bouchette listed 13 players the Steelers could take with their first round pick. Twelve of them were on defense. Too bad we can’t take all of them.

The Steelers pass defense was among the worst in the NFL last season, so I’d focus on improving that part of the team’s talent pool.
