Why Justin Layne may not be the answer at cornerback for Steelers

I have made it clear that I am not as big of a fan of the Steelers draft as a lot of the outside media, and that situation stands with my view on Daniel Rymer’s article ‘Justin Layne can be the answer to Pittsburgh’s outside cornerback problem.’

This article uses Pro Football Focus’s grading scale to say that Justin Layne is great in coverage. Rymer said, “Layne has earned an elite coverage grade of 91 when lined up as an outside corner.” He went further to make it sound like this was the corner that is going to change the Steelers luck with outside corners.
