Aside from Watt, the LB group does not inspire confidence in improving the defense.

That LB group screams yet another playoff loss where the team surrenders over 35 points

What? No Big Dan?

:flap:

Big Dan only needs to beat out Frazier and Gilmore for a roster spot, and they're just a 7th round pick and an UDFA but I think this is the year he doesn't make it.

This is the year he either shows them that he wants it, or he's gone. Even if he shows them more, he may have already sealed his own fate.

Taking a look at the Steelers’ wide receiver depth after thh 2018 NFL Draft.

By Jeff.Hartman@BnGBlitz
May 5, 2018

The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for the 2018 regular season, and after the 2018 NFL Draft the overall 90-man roster is set — for now. As players become available, and injuries happen, the offseason roster is certainly fluid, but it doesn’t mean we can’t take a look at the current roster and see who could make the starting roster when things shake out prior to Week 1 of the regular season.

Today, we focus on the wide receiver position.

S (5): Burnett, Davis, Edmunds, M Allen, Berhe

Special (3)
Boswell, Berry, Canaday

i don’t think Steven Ridley makes the final roster. The last roster spot should be a fight between an OL vs a S - so Feiler vs Berhe. I also think they will find another ILB somewhere. I thought Timmons may come back but they haven’t called him yet. Maybe someone decent will be available after final cuts.

Aside from Watt, the LB group does not inspire confidence in improving the defense.

Other than Haden, the same goes for the CBs and safeties.
