Other than 2024 and 2020 sixth-round safeties Ryan Watts and Antoine Brooks Jr., the last serious draft investment at the position for the Pittsburgh Steelers came in 2018 with a first-round pick in Terrell Edmunds. It’s way past due to draft at the position and infuse some youth.
That could be a necessity this year with an offseason decision on Jalen Ramsey due. Do they continue to pay him good corner money, which is way above the safety market? He proved to be past his time at outside corner, but performed well in his move to safety. DeShon Elliott will be back, but they need to get younger and faster on the back end.
