Last season, when Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt went on IR, the lack of depth at outside linebacker was exposed. The Steelers were only able to must up 40.0 sacks in 2022 which was well off their typical production. Pittsburgh has tried to add free-agent help but none have panned out. This means it is time to go back to the NFL draft and see what is out there. Here is an edge rusher in each round for the Steelers to consider.
First round - Lukas Van Ness, Iowa
Second round - Nolan Smith, Georgia
Third round - Adetomiwa Adebawore, Northwestern
Fourth round - Habakkuk Baldonado, Pitt
Fifth round - Byron Young, Tennessee
Sixth round - Ali Gaye, LSU
Seventh round - Viliami Fehoko, San Jose State
