PFT on the Steelers and the AFC North Draft needs

Pro Football Talk.com has up their draft needs for the teams in the AFC North, with of course the Steelers in the mix. You can read the entire article HERE, and below is what the site has to say about the Steelers and their draft options when it comes to the needs and options:

CB: Both William Gay and Ike Taylor saw their stock drop precipitously last year.

DE: Last year’s injury to Aaron Smith was a reminder that the team needs to find their next Aaron Smith. That’s a tall order.

RB: The impact of a sluggish running game on Pittsburgh’s record last year was overstated, but the team still needs fresh legs. Mewelde Moore is a fine third-down back. Rashard Mendenhall could use a hard-charging backup to help ease the burden.

OL: Willie Colon is an underrated player, but this is a good, not great group that could use competition at every position. Florida center Maurkice Pouncey makes some sense in the first round. He could start at guard, and eventually replace Justin Hartwig at center.

Matt Loede has been in the sports media for over 16 years, with experience covering the MLB, NBA, and NFL. On Sunday’s during football season, you can hear Matt on national networks like Fox Sports Radio, Associated Press, and others. Born and raised in Cleveland Ohio, Matt studies and talks football inside and out, and is anxious to share his thoughts and comments with readers on a daily basis.
