25. Pittsburgh Steelers

55. It feels like the Pittsburgh Steelers have about had their fill of Jarvis Jones. The former Georgia standout looked exactly like what they needed when they drafted him a few years back but the outside linebacker has disappointed. They still don’t have a true pass rush threat on the outside. Bud Dupree is only now returning from a serious injury. Given the importance of outside linebackers to that scheme, it’s a position they must continue addressing. <p>His production isn’t what it was in 2015 but Tim Williams remains a dangerous edge presence for undefeated Alabama. He’s quick off the snap, able to bend the edge and finishes strong to the quarterback. Offenses can’t block him when the motor runs hot. His issues lay with inconsistent fundamental and a general lack of size that bigger blockers can sometimes exploit. Provided those two problems are masked, he’ll be a huge addition.</p>. OLB.
