Steelers’ top 2026 draft need is already painfully obvious to everyone

The Pittsburgh Steelers have no shortage of roster needs, and some are more pressing than others. The cornerback position—which included some heavy offseason investments—took a turn for the worse in 2025, while Pittsburgh's wide receiver room remains underwhelming.
