With just days to go until the 2020 NFL draft, we are going to go through all of the Steelers positional units to review the current state of the roster, gauge draft needs and talk about some approaches to addressing the need.

Let’s take a look at the defensive line.

Roster

Cam Heyward and Stephon Tuitt form one of the best 3-4 defensive end tandems in the league. Unfortunately, Tuitt has struggled to stay healthy. Luckily, backup Tyson Alualu has played great in his place.

On the inside, the Steelers are hopeful some combination of Isaiah Buggs and Chris Wormley can replace the production of Javon Hargrave.  And of course, we cannot forget about Dan McCullers who continues to find a way to keep a spot on the roster.
