The Steelers invested considerably in the defensive line this offseason, but they can’t stop there, says beat writer Ray Fittipaldo. Despite adding two to the trenches during the draft, the work must continue next year. In fact, he seems to count on it, and it does fit the team’s recent patterns.

The Steelers invested heavily in the offensive line for two straight years, so now it’s the defensive line’s turn. In 2023, they drafted a first-round offensive tackle, then did it again in 2024. Along the way, they also drafted three other offensive linemen, including second-round C Zach Frazier.
