2021 NFL draft: Updated Steelers draft needs after the first wave of free agency

Big changes to our Steelers draft needs.

As expected, the Pittsburgh Steelers chose to let more players leave than not and we saw multiple starters and top-tier players sign elsewhere. In addition to multiple retirements by key players, we also got something of a surprise when the Steelers chose to release veteran linebacker Vince Williams.

Now that the dust has settled from the first wave of free agency, we decided to update our Steelers draft needs.

One caveat to all of this. While I’m fairly locked in on 1-6, 7-10 are largely interchangeable at this point.
