Team Needs

Offensive Line

The Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the oldest offensive line in the entire league. No disrespect to the Steelers but that offensive line really showed its age last season. The young guys on the roster might have some promise if you put them in, guys like Maurkice Pouncy and Alejandro Villanueva are getting old. A replacement for both of them would be ideal but if they can only get one, its better than nothing.

Running Back

The league does not use running backs like they used too but the Pittsburgh Steelers do. The Steelers are a ground and pound team which helps them open up the play-action game. This last season was one of the worst rushing attacks I think the Steelers have ever done. James Conner was hurt for most of the season. Conner has proven to be very injury-prone and he is going into  his final year of his contract. Could we see Conner get shipped to a team during the season?

Wide Receiver 

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a decent receiver core in JuJu Smith-Schuster, Diontae Johnson, and James Washington. The one big trait that this receiver core is missing is a speedster. With Smith-Schuster coming off a down year in the final year of his contract, the Steelers show look at a player that can really stretch the field.
