In the Steelers never-ending quest for position flexibility, they may have ended up with another jack of all trades, master of none. Heard talk that they may draft a real NT this year and push him to a 5-tech/3-4 DE position. Benton was reportedly terrible vs. the run this season.
This team has had a really hard time drafting and developing interior 3-4 DL going back to the Noll era. Top picks like Heyward, Tuitt, and Snack have worked out, one 4th rounder in A-A-Ron Smith, Joel Steed in the 3rd all the way back in 1992, and a ton of failed picks, mostly mid to late rounders.
