The Pittsburgh Steelers’ draft plans often reveal themselves throughout the process as they hold their pre-draft visits and they make their rounds on the Pro Day tour. The safety group is one they paid attention to, and that included a visit with projected first-round talent Nick Emmanwori.
The immediate need might not be there, but it was fair to wonder if they were preparing for the future with DeShon Elliott entering the final year of his deal and Minkah Fitzpatrick entering the final two. Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan were asked about the safety position in this year’s draft at their press conference today.
