Pittsburgh needs plenty of help to maintain its AFC North contender status. Problem is, the Steelers have only six draft choices and more needs than those numbers.

DRAFT STRATEGY

Their offensive line is a jumble of no-names, castoffs and miscast players at the wrong positions and it's seen as the top need on this team. But then, their defensive line, while strong, has little depth on the corners and is growing old, old, old.

Last year, they made their first two picks outside linebackers, attacking a need with volume. But they still lack any depth at the position. They moved first-round pick Lawrence Timmons inside, where he will either beat out Larry Foote for a job or remain a backup in his second season.
