3 things Steelers need to do between now and the end of the NFL Draft

The Pittsburgh Steelers have lost a lot of starters to free agency and they need to find replacements soon.

There are holes to fill in the starting lineup for the Steelers, which is not a big surprise because player turnover is a constant in the NFL. Players leave in free agency and their teams simply cannot afford their next contract. Leaving teams to find a  potential replacement going forward.

The Steelers need to fill the voids at left tackle, center, cornerback, and depth outside linebacker. It will be a tough task to accomplish but not an impossible one. They will be able to sign more players if need be before, during, or after the draft. Getting the tasks accomplished will help the team continue their success into the following season and beyond if they can do everything correctly. Plugging holes and needs through the remainder of free agency and selecting others through the draft will help them stay relevant in a competitive league.

Find a replacement at starting corner

Steven Nelson and Mike Hilton were both lost to free agency but the good news is Cam Sutton is back with the team. They have a major hole at either the outside corner or slot corner position, based on where Sutton ends up playing. It does sound like he will be playing outside so the slot corner role will need to be replaced.

The players currently on the team could shock some people but it is more likely that the team still plans on addressing the need in the draft or sooner with free agency. Both options could still be in the cards for this team but it is more plausible the draft would be the way to go. This team has struggled to pick cornerbacks in previous years but they will hope that trend does not continue going forward.
