Mike Tomlin’s team is going through a tremendous amount of changes throughout the offseason. The needs in Pittsburgh may be at an all-time high, and the always represented “Steeler Nation” deserves some good news.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at players who may fit in well with the black and yellow.
(NOTE: These are round-by-round “best fits”.)
ROUND ONE
Florida State. P.J. Williams. 1. player. 55. The glaring need at cornerback is simply too large to ignore. With the loss of Dick Lebeau, the Steelers must reinforce dominance in the back end of that defense. The offense is on the right track, as is the coaching staff if we look at things in reality. Keith Butler has been groomed for this position for years — he just needs to be given the pieces to succeed as an NFL coordinator. Williams is a versatile athlete that is capable against the run and pass. He’s one of the few CBs I’ve scouting through the process and certainly didn’t disappoint. Some say he’s a risk, but team need certainly trumps that here.. CB
Other potential fits at CB in Round One
Michigan State — Trae Waynes, Washington — Marcus Peters
ROUND TWO
Hauoli Kikaha. 2. player. 55. Aside from former Georgia standout Jarvis Jones, there’s nobody that can be a reliable pass-rusher on the edge for the Steelers. Enter Hauoli Kikaha. If anyone ever looked like a prototypical Pittsburgh Steeler, it’s the Washington outside linebacker. He uses his hands extremely well, has tremendous size, and does just enough to be a legitimate early Day Two prospect this year. Butler’s unit will get a huge boost if they can acquire a player of Kikaha’s strengths.. OLB. Washington

Virginia — Eli Harold
