The Steelers have put themselves in a good position heading into the draft. They addressed a number of depth issues at some key areas during their recent free agent spending spree. That may allow them to focus on specific need areas in the early rounds—such as offensive line, cornerback, and defensive line. The NFL also issued the Steelers three compensatory picks—bringing their total to 10. It seems hard to believe that all 10 ...

The Steelers locked up Casey Hampton for another three years and can now start looking for an eventual replacement for "Big Snack", possibly in this year's draft. There are a few intriguing possibilities for Pittsburgh, including Alabama's Terrence Cody in Round Two or Three. Cody looks the part of a typical 3-4 nose tackle. To say he is large is an understatement. He is a mountain in the middle of any defense and would ...

Ben Roethlisberger and Terry Bradshaw have both won multiple Super Bowls. Bradshaw is a Hall of Famer, Roethlisberger's career is headed in that direction. They have both established themselves among the all-time Steeler greats. That's where the similarities come to a screeching halt. I grew up following Bradshaw's career in the 70's.

Likewise at the receiver position with the arrival of Arnaz Battle and Antwaan Randle El, which could signal the ...

With the signing of Casey Hampton complete, the Steelers could turn their attention towards their most glaring weakness. Poor play from the cornerback position was part of the reason for the defensive collapse late in games this past season. Troy Polamalu's return should be a huge boost to the secondary and the defense as a whole, but that alone won't fix the problem. The Steelers may be looking at cornerbacks when the 18th ...

It's that time of year again. The free agency period is about to start and everybody and their uncle has an idea of what their team should do. Steelers fans have long admired the way their team operates, they are arguably one of the best run organizations in professional sports. So why is it every year around this time those same fans start clamoring for the Steelers to sign every big name ...

The Steelers' top priority in free agency should be to get kicker Jeff Reed signed to a new deal. Pittsburgh has always tried to take care of signing their own key free agents, usually before they play out the final year of their contract. They currently have three key free agents they have targeted to try and work out deals: Jeff Reed, Casey Hampton and Ryan Clark. Depending on how the Steelers feel ...
