I have a hunch NT might not be the round 1 pick. I'm thinking ILB, OLB or FS with the wild card being WR.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you 1. Jesus Christ, 2.The American G.I., One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

Okay! As Dee Dub pointed out the Wallace situation could impact this rd1 pick. If so here is how GBN for one has these WR's ranked in their Top 100.
8. *Keenan Allen WR California
30*Cordarelle Patterson WR Tennessee
34 Tavon Austin WR West Virginia
37 Terrence Williams WR Baylor
40 *Robert Woods WR Southern California
42 *Justin Hunter WR Tennessee (X)
50 *Da’Rick Rogers WR Tennessee Tech (O)
53 *De'Andre Hopkins WR Clemson
64 *Stedman Bailey WR West Virginia
80 Quinton Patton WR Louisiana Tech
105 *Kenny Stills WR Oklahoma
Heres how DraftCountdown sees these WR's

Frankly I would go with the ILB/OLB if that is the higher ranked player. Will check these out in a later post.
Usually, it is best to see how 5 or more of these top sites have these players ranked overall. But it is too early. Even nfldraftscout.com does not have these overall rankings. But, they do have the top players numbered in their category. But so what. The #1 in some groups might be the #25 overall. I suppose they need more time and maybe the combines to make their lists.
There were no FS/SS in the top 32 players listed on either of these sites. But there were 3 CB in GBN and 2 in DCD. Usually you can rule out a secondary player in rd1 for TS. But maybe not this year. Nah! It will probably be 1. LB[IorO]/WR 2 WR/LB[OorI/DB[CBorS 3 CB/LB/WR.
Coming soon: half full/half empty glass forecast for 2013. Don't lose any sleep breathlessly waiting. Oops! Better get this posted before I get that post too long and then it deletes thing. For sure it is not ever done over then.
WR isn't a weak spot on our team, besides I would hate to waste a round #1 pick on another Limas Sweed.
We need help in that front seven first!

I understand about BAA but, what if the best available is someone we can't use ? If BAA is there and he has not chance of making an impact because he's not truly needed to help the team then I say, pick for need or trade your number on pick to another team.
If Wallace splits, would you settle for another Plaxico Burress or Santonio Holmes? Letting Holmes go sort of ended his career. [Hmm! Maybe it ended the Steelers too?]
hawaiiansteel said: "I agree, we need to address NT, ILB and OLB along with S early..."
I also agree. Something like 92, TS picked up Levon Kirkland and Joel Steel then replaced them with Casey Hampton and James Farrior. Does anyone see any replacement already here for Greg Lloyd, Joey Porter, or James Harrison?
This offseason could get even more complicated. Mendenhall may also leave. Then the RB situation is very thin. Heath hurt but I would guess with his makeup he will be back better than ever. But still? Too bad TS don't get to pick at #11. There would be a lot better chance to fill some of these perceived holes then. Several mocks have TS taking Ogletree an ILB from Georgia at 17. But it not often TS take a LB in rd1.
