Heitritter: Defensive Line Could Get Pushed Down Steelers’ List Of Priorities Come Draft Day

We are less than two weeks away from the start of the 2023 NFL Draft, and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ draft plans seem to be taking shape before our very eyes. Based on the team’s pre-draft visits, formal interviews at the NFL Combine, as well as their activity on the Pro Day trail, it appears that offensive tackle and cornerback are the heavy favorites to be Pittsburgh’s first two draft selections come the team’s 17th and 32nd draft choice. Obviously, you never want to speak in absolutes as a player along the lines of Bryan Bresee or John Michael Schmitz may prove to be too much of a value to pass up at the top of the second round, but the need and value are trending towards OT and CB.
