Stacking The Box: Should Pittsburgh Look To Target Inside Linebacker In 2022 NFL Draft?

When looking at the depth chart of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense, one would likely look at the names at the inside linebacker position and believe that position is set moving forward. The team broke protocol in the 2019 NFL Draft and traded up into the top ten to select Devin Bush out of Michigan, surrendering it’s second and third round sections to move up ten spots and secure the athletic linebacker they sorely missed after losing Ryan Shazier to a career-ending injury. The team went out to acquire Joe Schobert this preseason from the Jacksonville Jaguars to shore up the unit, providing plenty of experience combined with the instincts to be a viable defender against both the run and the pass.
