Plax would be expendable and maybe trade bait. I think RB is a need and O line.

i think zeroue is on the way out. he makes around 2-3 million a year and just isnt productive enough. he could be trade bait as well. i think bettis will stay in pittsburgh and will take less money to stay.

more often than not, especially in todays game, you can find a productive nfl quarterback in the 2nd/3rd round...i think they should go after O line in round 1, RB or DB in round 2, then maybe pick up a guy who could turn into a decent nfl QB in round 3...

They do have some dead wood they could use for tradebait and it would help both teams.

they drafted a QB in the fifth round last year so they wont use a 3rd round pick on a QB this year thats not the Steelers style. and what do u mean kevin jones was never a gamebreaker? have u ever watched him play? he is a much bigger gamebreaker then julius jones, no contest.

i agree with coach.the steelers need to pick up fitz and trade plexico.he usually drops the ball neways.they dont really need a RB.i think all they need is an o line that could block and the bus would b the RB that they need.i think they definately need a QB.maddox is terrible.he cant scramble and alll he does is throw interceptions,or he gets sacked. they should go 4 a QB in the second or third round.mayb even the fouth.

The backbone of any team is the lineman on both sides of the ball! I could gain 1000 yards behind KC o-line (the best in the league).
The Steelers really need to shore up the lines. Hartings in my opinion is almost done, too many injuries. Faneca and Smith are fine but the others don't impress me. They really alot of help here with some nasty runblocking, snot-knocking goons like Faneca.
Defense- I really think that the D is worse off than the O! The offense I think can fix itself by going back to the old smashmouth, sledgehammer running game. But the defense needs some better pass rushers and better linebacker play. The key to a good defense is excellent interior lineman and great cornerbacks. Look for the Steelers to get better personnel in these positions.

defensively steelers need defensive backs a few linebackers and a whole new line...basically there whole defense sucks except a few players

I think a few key players could fix the D. Maybe a free agent or 2.
