Matt Williamson Likes DB Cooper DeJean For Steelers As First-Round Option That Fills Many Gaps

Related Topics: Pittsburgh Steelers

There are many directions the Pittsburgh Steelers could go with their first-round pick, and one of the most intriguing of the less likely options for me is DB Cooper DeJean. The Iowa product is one of the most versatile defenders in this draft class. A peg of many shapes to fit a number of holes a team may have.

The Steelers have a number of holes in their secondary, but the most glaring one right now is the slot. They simply do not have a credible slot defender, and drafting DeJean gives them one immediately with room for expansion.
