First, I want to congratulate safety Troy Polomalu as he rode off in the Sunset that came on his legendary career. The Pittsburgh Steelers just lost the heart and soul of their defense but lost the player a while back due to injuries. A real loss the Steelers are going through this year is edge-rusher Jason Worilds as he is just 27 years old.

So the Steelers are hoping fellow edge-rusher James Harrison has at least one more good year left in him. The NFL’s substance abuse policy has claimed three games of running back Le’Veon Bell’s 2015 season. But the Steelers signed DeAngelo Williams and he’ll only have to stay healthy for three games so that was a good move.

Otherwise, the Steelers want for nothing on offense as they are fully loaded in every way. Where the Steelers really need help is the cornerback position and I’m sure that will get addressed in the draft. They can probably go with a safety and an edge-rusher in the next two rounds of the draft as well.
