Pittsburgh Steelers

Reported: April 24th, 2007

Discuss the Steelers Team Needs in the HG Forums

 
- With the retirement of Jeff Hartings, the Steeler have a void at the center position. They are toying with the idea of moving Kendall Simmons to center, which would reshuffle the O-line and leave Simmons spot open. The Steeler need to strengthen the interior of their usual strong O-line.
 
 
- The drafting of Santonio Holmes helped this position out last year, but they are going to need to develop another young receiver, since Hines Ward probably only has a few more productive years left in him. Look for them to draft a WR in the mid to late rounds with the hopes of developing a project.
 
 
- While Willie Parker did a great job in 2006, there is no clear cut backup for him. Najeh Davenport was resigned in the offseason, but if Parker went down, it's questionable if he could handle the full rushing load.
 
 
 
- What once was a strength of their defense is now a weakness. The loss of Joey Porter further weakened this unit and they are in need of a young, impact player or two at the LB position. Look for them to draft more than one during this years draft.
 
 
- Ricardo Colclough looks like he is a draft bust and others in the secondary still have questions about them. The Steelers could do themselves well by picking up a quality CB in the second round, depending on what is there when they draft.
