The Steelers have invested lots of draft capital in the outside linebacker position the past five years including three firsts. Unfortunately, the position may not be solidified. Jarvis Jones was a bust and never played up to his draft position and is no longer a Steeler.
Bud Dupree has flashed but never been a consistent producer. Of the three first-round picks, only one inspires any kind of hope. T.J. Watt played well in his rookie season, albeit with a bit of a rookie wall. He has the potential to be the next Steelers great at the position.
The team currently has five outside linebackers on the team outside of Watt and Dupree.
