NFL Draft: Freiermuth lessens need for Steelers to add a TE

This is the fifth in a series on the upcoming NFL Draft, which will take place April 28 through 30. Today: Tight End

After Heath Miller's retirement following the 2015 season, the Steelers went through a number of veteran options trying to replace the best tight end in team history.

First Ladarius Green was signed in free agency. Then, the team traded for Vance McDonald. Finally, Eric Ebron was added in free agency.

Despite some moments of success, none of those additions came close to replicating the efficiency with which Miller played the position.
