Analyzing the matchup between the Bengals passing game and the Steelers secondary (Post Draft Edition)

The draft helped fill positions on need for every team. A few weeks before the draft I wrote about comparing the Bengals passing game and the Steelers secondary. How has the draft affected this match up?

The draft has changed a lot for both the Steelers and the Bengals - in particular Pittsburgh's secondary and Cincinnati's receiver corps. Pittsburgh spent their top two picks on their secondary in CB Artie Burns, a player with resounding athletic ability and a high ceiling, and CB/S hybrid Sean Davis, with strikingly similar attributes to Burns (note- Pittsburgh will be playing him as a safety).
