26. player. 55. The Pittsburgh Steelers are starting to get after the quarterback the way they’ve been known to these days. Getting 2015 first-round pick Bud Dupree back has helped definitely helped with that. If the Steelers had another edge-rusher, they would be scary and fend off the quarterbacks in the AFC North. <p>And Carl Lawson is the perfect man for the job as he knows how to get after the quarterback. He’s the perfect fit as he has burst off the edge with counter-moves and the whole nine. But he’s also superphysical as he plays the run well as he has lined up and DT in college.</p> <p>With his physicality, he’s a lot like James Harrison, who’s probably ready to retire now, in his prime. The Steelers have always prided themselves on their physicality, which is why Lawson is a great fit. We already know how fully-loaded the Steelers offense is as they are currently No. 7 in the NFL right now.</p> <p>QB Ben Roethlisberger, RB Le’Veon Bell and WR Antonio Brown are a lot for an NFL defense to handle. TE Ladarius Green will become a bigger part of this offense as they go along as well. With this pick, the Steelers are about ready to go back to the Super Bowl.</p>. OLB. Auburn. Carl Lawson
