Last early off season I was happy when the Steelers signed Safety Morgan Burnett. It meant one of the following, 1) Burnett would replace the recently released Mike Mitchell at Free Safety so there would be no chance of the Steelers having to re-sign him, 2) Burnett would replace Sean Davis at Strong Safety, Davis would move to Free Safety and Mitchell would stay gone. Either way, Mike Mitchell, who demonstrated he didn’t understand and wouldn’t perform the duties of Free Safety wouldn’t have to be invited back. That would’ve been a great improvement in and of itself.
It also meant the Steelers didn’t have to go for a Safety in the 1st Round and could concentrate on finding a starter quality improvement at another position.
