Fixing the inside linebacker

Before we think about drafting a LB, what about Right Tackle?! Keeping Broderick Jones there is no different than what Kevin Dotson endured during his time here. History would be repeating himself and not for the better.


Priority number one is to max out the abilities and capabilities of the Offensive Line; Broderick Jones being placed back into his natural role as Left Tackle being top priority. Once that is done, Center should be next.... unless people are fine with how Mason Cole has played all season. ILB should be either third or fourth on list of needs depending on how the team feels about the CB room.


The 2024 ILB FA Class is looking a lot like this. Who knows what the list will actually look like come the 2024 FA Period. One thing is for certain though.... the Steelers do need a ILB.

 

It wasn't suppose to be Watt's position, I want to see if he can be converted to play ILB, he is fast, he likes to hit
probably would need much help on his coverage skills but you get another playmaker in your line up. he makes plays.

 

Yeah, ILB is certainly not the top of the needs list. Holcomb will be fine and is signed through 2025. Roberts is signed through next season. Robinson will be here. They can decide if they want Kwon or Jack back. There are plenty of options there. The OL still has two big problems and they need a better corner opposite JPJ. They also need a real 3rd WR.

 

He was also trying to cover all of Bush's mistakes too, I remember way too many times watching Bush run to the wrong side of the field which forced Jack to have cover the vacated spot that Bush left.

 

I disagree, Bush was a liability, Walker is a work in progress. As long as Walker plays to his assignment and doesnt get caught up in the wash, in other words, does his job, the rest of the Defense will learn to trust that he will be in the right position and then they can do their job. All 11 have to be able to trust that they all will be where they are supposed to be in order for the scheme to work.

 

I would love to see them steal Queen from the Ravens, but I doubt they will spend that kind of money.
