Should be able to slot in with Tyson Alualu as backups to Cam and Tuitt. LT Walton's replacement

the annual "let's replace Dan McCullers" draft pick
I think he will play DEOriginally Posted by hawaiiansteel
9.5 sacks last season. Not too shabby.
A back up to this year’s backups. Not a good fit in the 3-4. Imo. Too slow outside. Too small inside.
He's a 3-4 player (Alabama) and may be a good fit for the Steelers D.
We are having a good draft! Getting back our "identity."

Pittsburgh Steelers: Isaiah Buggs, DE/DT, Alabama B+ Grade
The Steelers were expected to find depth for their defensive line, and they did so with a player who could have been chosen a couple of rounds earlier. I suppose his horrible showing at the combine hurt him, but he was a better player on film. His short arms aren't ideal, but Buggs should become a solid backup for Pittsburgh.

Was anyone else really surprised to learn that the sack leader for the mighty Alabama Crimson Tide this season was not the guy who many considered to be the best overall player in the draft and eventual #3 overall pick Quinnen Williams, but rather his defensive linemate Isaiah Buggs, selected by Pittsburgh in the 6th round? Crazy, huh? Shocking, actually...
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.
Quinnen probably drew a lot of the double teams but I still think we got ourselves a steal in Buggs, especialy considering where we were able to select him.
Here’s hoping.
From the 2010-2018 season, (An 8 year period that the majority of Cowher's players & coaches had left) Mike Tomlin has only won 3 playoff games. And two of those wins were against back up Quarterbacks. Our history has been defined by what we do in the postseason; not the regular season.
