30. Pittsburgh Steelers
55. The Pittsburgh Steelers saw first-hand just how far behind the the Patriots they are in the AFC championship. Their defense just couldn’t keep up with Brady once again. A big part of the problem? How ineffective their pass rush was. James Harrison isn’t getting any younger and Bud Dupree is really the only proven young guy they have, and he’s far from an elite edge presence. This team has to add somebody who excels at making quarterbacks uncomfortable. <p>That is what Tim Williams did best at Alabama. He came off the edge with speed, explosion and violence. When allowed to pin his ears back, he was a real handful for offensive tackles. There are some off-the-field concerns with him, as well as strength questions. That being said he’s one of the best pure rushers in this class. No concerns have been raised about his dedication or work ethic and his production speaks for itself.</p>. OLB. Alabama.
