Top needs
Wide receiver
Cornerback
Offensive line
Trading Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers thins out the Steelers’ receiving room, and this is a good draft to look for some help at that position. Joey Porter Jr. looked good as a rookie last season, but the Steelers could use a cornerback to go alongside him.
Best first-round fits
Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama
Best Day 2 fits
Malachi Corley, WR, Western Kentucky
Andru Phillips, CB, Kentucky
How they did last draft
The Steelers earned an A-plus, and that turned out to be prescient. They got very nice seasons from offensive tackle Broderick Jones, cornerback Joey Porter Jr., nose tackle Keeanu Benton and edge rusher Nick Herbig.
Dream fantasy draft pick
Whatever you may have thought of the Diontae Johnson trade, it definitely left a Diontae Johnson-shaped hole in this offense. His particular skills need to be replaced, urgently. Of course this franchise has a history of finding exceptional receivers outside the first round, so we can trust they will address the glaring need. Ladd McConkey, come on down. — Andy Behrens
