The 2019 NFL Draft is going to be a turning point for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who find themselves searching for answers on the defensive side of the ball.

It’s going to be a defensive draft year for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who find themselves will little concern on offense and a ton of worry on defense. As contracts expire, coaching changes possibly ahead and a pressing need to better their unit, they’ll look to the draft to add some talent.

While the season is still a live, the Steelers are certainly looking ahead to see which players they’ll land from the 2019 draft class. With so much talent on the defensive side of the ball, filling the voids this team still has should come easy.

It’ll come down to finding the right talent and not taking too much of a chance on players. There are a lot of certainties in this year’s draft, but as we all know, the Steeler aren’t one to stay on the path when it comes to the NFL Draft.

They’ll fill more than one need this offseason and maybe add some offensive weapons while they’re at it. With 2018 being such a roller coaster ride, they’ll be looking to make changes and find new talent before next year. With this draft, they’ll certainly do so.

It’s a fun year to watch as college football’s top prospects earn their place in the NFL. There’s more stars than expected, with more developing every day. Pittsburgh will have plenty of options through each round and should find themselves with a new team by the end of April. Possibly on both sides of the ball.
