Pittsburgh Steelers 2018 NFL Draft tracker and highlights
By Erik Lambert
The Pittsburgh Steelers 2018 NFL draft tracker is live. After a humiliating end to their 2017 run, the franchise feels like it’s at a crossroads.
They lost one of their defensive leaders to a gruesome injury. Many of their established veterans are gone. Respected offensive coordinator Todd Haley was replaced and Ben Roethlisberger is a year older. To say nothing of the fact that running back Le’Veon Bell appears no closer to a long-term deal than when the off-season began. It’s still a good team, but a title contender?
Despite going 13-3 last year, they were upended 45-42 in their own building by the Jacksonville Jaguars. It looked nothing like a traditional Steelers team and that may be the biggest problem of all. They’ve lost their identity. Hopes are high that this upcoming draft can help them get it back. To do so they must make sure every pick counts, otherwise they leave no room for error.
Below, Steelers fans will find everything they need for draft night, including their picks, roster needs, and any trades made during the 2018 NFL Draft.
