1. Bradley Roby, CB – Currently with Denver

Roby is a fifth year corner looking to make big money in the offseason. Denver may end up locking him up before he hits the market but, if not, the Steelers should show interest.

The Steelers defensive backfield performs worse than their pass defense ranking would lead you to believe. Artie Burns has quickly dropped from starter to bench riding dumpster fire.

The secondary luckily has Joe Haden and Mike Hilton to hold it down somewhat opposite Coty Sensabaugh, who was thrust into starting when Burns was demoted.

Cameron Sutton has shown flashes of being a capable starter. He has also shown why they cannot put full trust into him developing into an every down outside corner.

Roby is a 5’11” 195-pound corner who has notched at least one interception every year of his five-year career. He also has had at least 10 passes defended every season except his 2016 season.

Roby can cover and tackle and he can force turnovers. He would be a great addition to a Steelers secondary who can’t seem to find that duo of outside corners that will stick.
