Fittipaldo: ‘Maybe Patrick Peterson Is Your Best Option’ If Draft Doesn’t Break Well For Steelers To Draft CB

The Pittsburgh Steelers created holes for themselves this offseason by dumping veteran starters like Allen Robinson II and Patrick Peterson in salary cap-saving moves, further exacerbating the matter with moves like trading Diontae Johnson and not re-signing their depth players.

Consequently, they have some significant holes to address moving forward—likely more than they can satisfy during the NFL Draft. A starting right tackle, center, wide receiver, slot cornerback, and who knows what else, with four premium draft picks? Don’t hold your breath.

The Steelers will have little choice but to pursue other roster-building paths once the draft has concluded.
