Draft need
The Steelers currently have one of the best edge duos in the league with Watt and Dupree. Even with the projected spike in the salary cap for 2021, it’s uncertain whether the Steelers will be able to work out a deal with Dupree. If they’re looking to draft Dupree’s potential predecessor, they’ll be taking an edge early in the draft. If they’re just looking for depth to compete with Adeniyi and Skipper, it can wait until one of their two fourth-round picks or later.
For me, the Steelers’ most immediate linebacker need is on the inside. Beyond Bush and Williams, there’s Spillane, who was activated to the roster from the practice squad last November and primarily played on special teams. He appeared in eight games for the Steelers after being released from the Tennessee Titans mid-season.
