    I see Robinson only as a 3-4 DE for us, and although we have a need there with no one good behind Heyward and Tuitt, that is something that we could possibly address in round 4 with someone like Jihad Ward from Illinois or Matt Ioannidis from Temple.

    With a first or second round pick, we need a guy who can play NT in our base but also rotate with Heyward and Tuitt in our nickel and dime packages to keep everyone fresh (Andrew Billings, Jarran Reed, Vernon Butler, Austin Johnson, etc.).
    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.

      i think he'll be the pick... although i'm partial to jarran reed... whatever the case, i'm been wanting a good NT since Casey left - IMO, that's been the issue with the defense for many years... it all starts in the trenches boys and girls.

        Totally agree. I like Johnson a bunch but not in Round 1

          The issue for the defense for many years has been the nose tackle position?

          Seriously? Do you guys close your eyes when a pass is attempted and completed against the defense?
