Minkah Fitzpatrick, Terrell Edmunds, Tre Norwood, Miles Killibrew

Again, you could technically count this as five, as Kazee will likely be used all over the defense as his versatility is his best asset. The starters are clear as well, as the Steelers made no significant draft move to think otherwise. Minkah Fitzpatrick will reprise his role as star safety while Terrell Edmunds will be the more physical run-stopping presence.

The next two names are also pretty safe. Miles Killibrew is a great special teams defender, meaning that he holds a lot of value to this team. They also used him on defense in the box some last season, so he could get work there again. Tre Norwood was used in the slot and as a deep safety on occasion. He has some things to work on, but it was an impressive rookie season from the former seventh-round pick.

With Kazee offering some help here, I find it hard to believe that the team keeps any more than four here. Do keep an eye out on Donovan Stiner though. The former undrafted rookie was a fun prospect at Florida, and he could take a step in the right direction this offseason. As of now though, this group appears to be set.
