According to Steelers Depot we have brought in 15 so far. I only have seen 14 so I am missing one. If anyone can provide me some info on who I am missing that would be appreciated.

I think we all thought the Steelers would focus on D, but it is astounding that they've only brought in 3 offensive players thus far.Comment

Glad they brought in Joseph n Simmons. If Joseph fully recovers he would be a good value in the late 2nd. Simmons imho can play single high n back up Mitchell and he is a very good special team player. More of a mid rounder but solid.Comment

If healthy, I think Joseph is solid value at #58. Because he still wasn't able to do much at his Pro Day, I'm hoping he falls down to #89.
I want no part of Nkemdiche, regardless of how talented he may be.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.Comment

I like Sterling Shepard as a potential replacement for Markus Wheaton if we do not plan to sign him long term. Shepard shares many traits with Antonio Brown and would benefit greatly from being able to work alongside AB.Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

Looking at the list of 27 official visits that calm has listed so far...to get an idea of what positions that we might be targeting in which rounds.
The team brought in 3 defensive tackles, 2 with a 1st round projection and 1 in the 3rd round.
The team brought in 11 safeties (ELEVEN!), 4 with a 2nd round projection, 2 in the 3rd, 1 in the 4th-5th, 1 in the 5th, 1 in the 5th-6th, and 2 in the 7th-FA.
The team brought in 2 wideouts, 1 with a 2nd round projection and 1 in the 2nd-3rd.
The team brought in 6 corners, 2 with a 3rd-4th round projection, 1 in the 4th, 1 in the 5th, 1 in the 5th-6th, and 1 in the 7th-FA.
The team brought in 2 linebackers, 1 with a 5th round projection and 1 in the 6th.
The team brought in 2 offensive tackles, 1 with a 2nd-3rd round projection and 1 in the 7th-FA.
The team brought in 1 defensive end with a 7th-FA projection.
Judging solely by this data alone, this could be our draft haul in term of position by round:
1. DT
2. S
3. WR
4. CB
6. LB
7. OT
7. DE
(additional safeties and corners could be added with our late round picks or as priority free agents).
Of course, we also know that the team sent out large contingents (including GM, HC, DC, and DB coaches) to visit guys like Eli Apple, William Jackson III, Artie Burns, etc. at their place instead of at our place (they also wined and dined Andrew Billings after the Baylor Pro Day as well), so the official visit info is only part of the story, but it is interesting to see these types of trends emerging.Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

Two more defensive backs visit Steelers
Posted by Zac Jackson on April 19, 2016, 2:31 PM EDT
The Steelers hosted three draft prospects Tuesday, and two of them have something in common with many of the team’s previous pre-draft visitors.
They’re defensive backs. The Steelers are taking a look at lots of them.
In Tuesday were Texas A&M cornerback Brandon Williams, Michigan safety Jarrod Wilson and Utah running back Devontae Booker. The Steelers had previously hosted some of the draft’s top defensive backs — both safeties and cornerbacks — including Ohio State’s Vonn Bell, Florida’s Keanu Neal, West Virginia’s Karl Joseph, Alabama’s Cyrus Jones and Boise State’s Darian Thompson.
Williams was one of the fastest players at the NFL Scouting Combine in February, posting a 4.37 in the 40-yard dash. He played both offense and defense and returned kicks in his college career.
Wilson is a late-round safety prospect who had his best college season last fall. Booker was a productive running back at Utah who’s battled some injury issues, and the Steelers figure to add a young back at some point in this draft to play behind Le’Veon Bell and DeAngelo Williams.
The Steelers have now hosted 29 of their 30 allotted pre-draft visitors.

what really surprises me the most is the lack of LBS.
for being a 3-4 team, our lack of good olbs, age and depth of ilbs, and our past history of bringing in lots of them puzzles me.
as i said before, i will be satisfied with c,s,dt and olb the first 4 picks or doubling up on c,s or dl the first 4 rounds.
any offensive pick is gonna have me screamingsteelers = 3 ring circus with tomlin being the head clownComment
