The Steelers, by all intensive purposes, have improved their team through the NFL Draft. First round draft choice, Devin Bush, should be a starter out of the gate and add speed to the defense. Likewise, new wide receiver Diontae Johnson should be able to give the Steelers some assistance in the passing game and compete for a return job, while cornerback Justin Layne gives the Steelers a long, athletic player to use on the outside of their defense.

Even with these acquisitions, however, there is always room for improvement.  Here are three players Pittsburgh should consider signing in free agency:

Tre Boston, SS/FS

Tre Boston is a player that I’m surprised hasn’t found a home yet. He’s relatively young (27) and versatile, with 44 career starts to his resume. Boston was a solid contributor for Arizona last season and earned a healthy overall grade of 74.1 from Pro Football Focus in 2018.

Boston would likely be a good enough option to give Sean Davis a run for his money, but at the very least, would be a quality backup for either safety position.
