MOSteelers56 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I think we're going nothing but depth now. I agree with @Chieferific, the cupboard is pretty bare in terms of day 1 impact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like it but no one's really left. That scares the crap out of me. That is a BIG expectation of a sophomore who only played 1/2 a year. I guess we also need to consider after draft vet FA (Barron, etc) who can come in and add to the room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Maybe a NT can get some snaps, but I doubt there's much left for anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like it either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there are any capable ILB/S hybrids that will be any better than UG3 or even Dangerfield/Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFF Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) No one drafted at this point is gonna help the Steelers immediately save for a Punter...look at 2021 holes on current roster. I wouldn’t mind a project slot CB or OT. Edited April 25, 2020 by AlanFanecaFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 There is always post draft FA movements. Teams will be releasing vets that are being replaced by rookies. Expect a few cover ILB guys become available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcash4 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 There still some decent Vet options for ILB and S available and will be trade opportunities. I was hoping for a safety too, but I don’t think the Steelers were near as concerned about Nickel as we are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFF Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 The Steelers will be making another Vannett/JJ Wilcox trade and/or a vet FA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurgan Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I know, I get it. No one... no one left solves the issue. Robinson and Hudson might help, but don't solve the issue. NT/Punter is the smart way to go. I just think I never thought that we would not address Safety at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFF Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 This is why I’m not a fan of using 3 straight years of mid round picks on RBs...I’d almost rather bit the bullet and take one in 1st(or in this years case 2nd)...I hope I’m wrong.

MOSteelers56 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 What about Strnad? He looked bad at the combine but his athleticism is great on tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they view Hilton as safety #3, which is why it’s not been a huge priority. I started looking at him that way last year, and in honesty, completely changed my opinion of him. I really want him to resign with us since I started. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
