Steelers should focus on tight end, pass-rusher at combine

A closer look at the positions the Pittsburgh Steelers could target at the NFL combine in Indianapolis:

Positions of need: The Steelers prefer the best-player-available model but have opted for need the past several years to rebuild an aging defense. Outside linebacker is still an issue after free agent Jarvis Jones' struggles, leaving Bud Dupree as the only solidified starter under contract for 2017. An injection of speed off the edge would elevate an already solid defense. Similar to cornerback, pass-rushers are a position that teams can't overdraft. The Steelers will keep that in mind regarding both positions.
