DeVille Does the Offseason

If he passes fit, what about Mauti from Penn St as an option at ILB?

Early guesses on 53 man roster...

QB (3) - Ben, B.Gradkowski, L.Jones
RB (4) - L.Bell, I.Redman, J.Dwyer, L.Stephens-Howling
FB (1) - W.Johnson
WR (6)- A.Brown, E.Sanders, M.Wheaton, P.Burress, J.Cotchery, R.Dunn (WR/KR)
TE (4)- H.Miller, M.Spaeth, D.Paulson, D.Johnson
OT (4) - M.Gilbert, M.Adams, K.Beachum(G/T), M.Farrell
OG (3)- D.DeCastro, R.Foster, J.Malecki
OC (2)- M.Pouncey, J.Madsden(G/C)

NT (2)- S.McLendon, A.Ta'amu
DE (4)- B.Keisel, C.Heyward, Z.Hood, H.Fangupo (**revised)
OLB (4)- L.Woodley, J.Worilds, J.Jones, C.Carter
ILB (4)- L.Timmons, L.Foote, V.Williams, S.Sylvester
CB (5)- I.Taylor, C.Allen, W.Gay, T.Hawthorne, C.Brown
S (4)- T.Polamalu, R.Clark, S.Thomas, R.Golden
LS (1) - G.Warren
K (1) - S.Suisham
P (1) - D.Butler

PS - N.Williams(DE), I.Wade(OG), J.Brown(WR), J.Victorian(CB), C.McNeal(RB/KR)
IR - Sean Spence
*NOTES

Best camp battle: backup O-line with five undrafted rooks M.Farrell, J.Madsden, I.Wade and M.Golic Jr, C.Hubbard, fighting for 2 spots. This battle may well come down to better ability to play multiple positions, and all of them have played more than one position...
Assuming no injuries on the OL, expect the team to finally cut ties with Max
Expect Curtis McNeal to replace Stephens-Howling next year if the team is able to hold on to him throughout the season.
Expect another Day 2 WR to be drafted in 2014, whether Sanders is resigned or not. While Sanders has said he would like to retire a Steeler, he also understands it's a business. He also said Mike Wallace LOVES the Steelers organization (I caught 5/1 interviews on ESPN2)
If Spence cannot return in 2014, expect another early-to-mid-round ILB in 2014 as Foote will be in his last year, as will Sylvester

Great job man. I still think someone has to come after June 1st cuts. But this would be a good roster at the beginning of the season for take #7

I find it interesting you don't have Hebron Fangupo making the team, but have Arnfelt making it. I've heard Colbert say that Fangupo can play DE and NT in our 3/4.

I see them keeping Ta'amu, Fangupo, and Mclendon.

Then I am Happy Happy! Of course Mclendon & Hood can and will see time at NT. With so many UDFA it will be interesting offseason/camp.

TOTALLY forgot him... I had a big fat "?????" at the other DE for the longest time...Arnfelt was kind of a "gotta have somebody so he makes it by default" pick... THAT was the missing peice to the puzzle. Nice catch!

Gotta admit, you had me scratching my head there for a minute.

ILB (4)- L.Timmons, L.Foote, V.Williams, S.Sylvester

I wonder if Brian Rolle will beat out Sylvester? Don't know much about him, but they signed him towards the end of last year.
