What Could Pittsburgh Want To Add To This Defense?

I am about to say something unpopular:

The Steelers defense is in great shape and there is almost no chance (barring injury) that any rookie will see more than occasional sub package snaps in 2020. The chances are slim for 2021 as well. The quality at the top is just too good across the board, and most of it is still young and improving.

You’d think Steeler Nation would be thrilled at that news, but it just isn’t so. Over the years I have learned that many fans are so obsessed with forecasting rainy days and thorns that they start to feel almost ill when someone points out sunshine and roses.
