Position ranking every team (cbs sports)

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on...-needs-ranking-position-units-of-all-32-teams

Steelers were:
QB: 4
RB: 1
WR/TE: 1
OL: 5

DL: 17
LB: 8
DB: 30

We all know we need some DB help (one CB and one S at least) and we are short 1 impactful player on DL (we only have 2). We could also use a pass rushing LB. Any of those four I think are options for round 1.

 

2/3 DL are Pro Bowl level players so 17th seems way too low.

Also are the LBs really 8th?

Timmons is a great player and Shazier was dominant in the playoffs against Cinci but is erratic.

Dupree is really inexperienced and Harrison is old and starting over Jarvis. Moats is a quality backup.

Even if Dupree plays up to his potential ROLB will still be a huge ?

 

I think what we ask our DL and LBs to do isn't the norm and that impacts our rankings. I think our DL is a bit better and our LBs are a bit worse than that ranking suggests.

 

we have a 6th round pick from last year for the DL. walton. they picked up lyons last year too. i don't think we are that depleted at that spot with two young guys in the wings. ricardo mathews was added as a FA for depth. philon was pretty good at louisville and has a year under his belt learning too. hooks from miss. is another young guy that may be counted on to back up big dan. i don't think we are that empty of young talent behind the starters. it depends on how they have grown into our system over a years time. we may not need any for this spot. OLB seems like a bigger need for some upgrading as well as ILB, but fort should help that spot.
