The Steelers need to address several defensive flaws this training cam

Agreed.


Finding quality depth at IDL isn't easy but it isn't impossible. Plenty of those can be found in the middle rounds to even late rounds though there needs to be a realization that said player is gonna need to be coached up in the specificity of what he his shortcomings is. Benton isn't a NT by trade but he can be a solid DT or solid 3-4 5 Tech.


Now, as for your claim about Benton following Cam Heyward, Pittsburgh already has a protégé for Heyward. His name is Derrick Harmon. Most think Harmon is more a 5 Tech 3-4 DE but that would be a waste of his talents imo. Harmon's natural flexibility at nearly 320lbs makes him a devastating candidate to play at the DT spot.

 

Queen struggled with the processing and alignment responsibilities, leading to inconsistent play. To slow the game down and maximize Queen's sideline-to-sideline speed, coaches shifted Queen to WILL(inside/weak-side). The Steelers are going to struggle on defense with Queen as the MIKE(inside/strong-side). The Steelers need a MIKE. I was hoping they would address it in the recent draft.
