Gerry Dulac Anticipates Linebacker Will Be Steelers’ First Defensive Draft Pick

The Pittsburgh Steelers enter the 2021 NFL Draft with a number of holes—perhaps a few more than they might normally have in any given year. But after losing four linebackers since last season, one would imagine that this will be their biggest priority heading into this month’s event.

While the team did lose two starting cornerbacks, which has to be a major concern, it’s hard to lose four players in one group—and specifically three players from one position, outside linebacker—without making an effort to address it in a meaningful way. And Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette believes that’s the Steelers’ plan, as he writes in a recent article.
