Pittsburgh Steelers

It’s easy to blame the Pittsburgh Steelers’ secondary for their inability to stop the pass in 2014. But they were unable to go to another Super Bowl because they couldn’t pressure the quarterback. So the pick Nate Orchard, of the Utah Utes, as he had 18.5 sacks this past year and proved he can successfully switch to 3-4 outside linebacker during Senior Bowl Week.

Detriot Lions

Ndamukong Suh won’t be going back to the Detriot Lions next year so they need another 3-technique. Ohio State Buckeye’s defensive tackle Michael Bennett can’t replace Suh but he’s the closest thing there is in the draft. So the Lions make the pick after they hopefully lock up fellow defensive tackle Nick Fairley in free agency.

Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals will have Carson Palmer coming back next year so the passing offense will be good. And despite losing defensive coordinator Todd Bowles to the New York Jets, the defense will be good. But the Cardinals need rest that defense and run the ball and Melvin Gordon of the Wisconsin Badgers can do that plus he’s best player available here.
