    One thing in these discussions no body hits on that I have seen. Is that Deebo has to be very rep limited to start the season if you want him as a force in the playoffs. So who gets those reps to start the season? I don't see a rookie right away. It is possible depending on who ends up the edge pick. But I also have not given up on Chick getting better. But is Deebos side his natural spot? Can he create enough pressure and sacks to keep Deebo fresh? Or will a rookie be good enough to be that guy?
    We still have Arthur Moats as well. Between Moats, Chickillo, and an early round rookie, all should be capable of rotating in situationally as needed, so Harrison shouldn't be overused early.
    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've talked myself into Peppers more and more. I like him as a "honeybadger" in our system for the next year or so until they move away from Mitchell. Let him learn and slowly transition him into the spot. Could be a creative way to help bring pressure on the qb until our next OLB takes over for Deebo
      I'm the same place. More and more I see Peppers as being the guy if he is there

        SKL, I agree with you on most. Not surprisingly, I'd add Mahomes to my list of guys I don't want. I'd also add Obi to my want list. One other guy on my want list is Budda Baker. I'd like him as a day one nickel safety with some ability to play man in the slot.

          I also like Budda Baker, but he may be in no man's land for us unless we trade down from our first pick or trade up from our second pick. I don't see him being the BPA for us at #30, but don't see him falling down to #62 either.

            Moats played about 38% of defensive snaps last season, about 50% in 2015, and about 35% in 2014...throughout the course of those three seasons, he has recorded 11.5 sacks...I have no problem with him playing...

            He also has position flexibility...if the right OLBs are available in the draft and the right ILBs are not, he can also play inside...
            Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.
