The biggest need in the upcoming draft is....

[Mister Pittsburgh]

Would like to try and run this poll for a while, then put the biggest need position as the first round, then run a poll for second biggest need, until we fill out the 7 rounds.
Please vote for you first round position.....!!!

I know you don't draft for need before the board genius tries to educate me, just interested in how we view our needs ranked out like a draft.....

Keep voting Gents. Would like a nice sample size.

If Haley is going with his dink and dunk offense then Steelers need a WR who is not afraid to get hit..beat press coverage and get open for a change.

Current WR corp can't catch..fumble..and can't beat press coverage..

How can we vote when we don't even know what is going to happen in free agency? Dont you think that may play a big role in that?

Your feelings, right now, biggest need on the team. Don't overthink it.

OLB. The defense doesn't work without a consistent pass rush.

[Mister Pittsburgh]

Looking like OLB or WR so far. Lots of views but only 11 votes...get your opinion out there!

ILB and i don't believe it to be close. We don't have a reasonable starter unless you count Foote.

I was with you Dee, but then I just took things as they are right now and assumed this team would be able to stay together and what position would benefit them the most. I chose DT (NT) to replace Casey. Obviously, if they were to cut and not resign Harrison or part ways with Woodley, OLB would move up the board, RB is already a need (assuming Mendy isn't in the plans based on Colbert's comments), but an RB doesn't impact the game the way they used to, etc.

Like the OP says, don't over think it.

Quit being the voice of reason. Why don't you spit in our Cheerios as well?

The spread of the results in this poll are insightful and show that this team has many needs that need to be fixed. Let's face it, we are entering a rebuilding phase.

[JUST-PLAIN-NASTY]

Basing it on:
Who I think will be terminated or not retained...
Who will be locked up long term...
Who will be tendered...
Who I think the Steelers have confidence in that will move into new roles...
How I think the 1st round of the draft will unfold...
Need versus grade @ #17...
I would say WR could make the most sense. I just hope they could trade back and get another pick to fill more needs.
If stuck @ #17...Take the highest rated player on the board on defense.

As long as we have a healthy Ben, we will be competitive. So, I disagree about "rebuilding". The Steelers have needs all over the map but we have quality starters in almost every position except RB, and ILB. It's about healthy. A healthy Steeler team, is a Super Bowl caliber team.

I based my vote on if the roster stays the same. In other words, if we don't lose Lewis, Starks, Foster, or anybody else to Free Agency and we don't sign any FAs. I would have like to have Tight End as a choice instead of just Wide Receiver.
