Tuitt was definitely considered a first round talent in 2012. Last year he had some injuries which dropped him down. But if we end up with the 2012 Tuitt, we might have nabbed a top 10 type pick in the 2nd round. #dopedraftpick

Steelers' DL coach John Mitchell has stated exactly that, if it weren't for Tuitt's injuries in 2013 Tuitt would have been a top-10 draft pick...
The potential upgrade on D with Tuitt and Shazier - as well as the development of Jones, Heyward, Shark - makes me grin. The Steelers' D might be back.Originally Posted by hawaiiansteel
Im equally optimistic but that list is long on potential and short on accomplishment.
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, hear the lamentations of their women.
"short on accomplishment". Well, yes, they just got drafted.
I doubt we see much of Shark

and I have a feeling that Tuitt is not going to be starting...
Maybe not week 1. But who is going to beat him out?
Cam, McClendon, Heyward?

Our top 3 safeties will likely be Troy Polamalu, Mike Mitchell, and Will Allen and our top 3 corners will likely be Ike Taylor, Cortez Allen, and William Gay, so it doesn't look like there will necessarily be spot for Shark in our regular defensive back rotation from the start (unless he beats out the wily veteran Will Allen in camp) but he is learning SS, FS, and slot CB, so he would fill in anywhere in the secondary as soon as someone goes down to injury.
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.
