Areas on the roster that still need to be addressed

[slashsteel]

1 Tackle - For me this moved into the lead depth wise. You have Gilbert that won't be playing 100% (concerning). You have Harris that isn't a spring chicken. Then who else Hubbard? With these final cuts I would think there would be a more attractive option out there for third string T.

2.Tight End - Grimble will make you grumble. For every good thing he does there is a drop. I know the Steelers brought in TE UDFA Rashaun-Allen for a close up, but I prefer a pass catching veteran.

3 Slot CB - Sure Davis and Gilbert will get a look. But one is a raw rookie, and the other is a question mark. One other option sure wouldn't hurt.

We are always going to have weaknesses.....but I get what youre saying....

But I do like our strengths and areas we have definitely improved talent-wise

Strengths are:

Quarterback, Receivers, Running backs (esp top rated when Bell returns), Defensive line, Special teamers (kicking game)

Im hesitant to label our LB core as a strength due to injuries and age (Dupree and Harrison) but its above league average...if Dupree has a great year and Shazier stays healthy this elevates this unit to a strength

Harris was good enough 1 year ago to anchor the Broncos to a SB win....

TE option other than Grimble. Right now Whiff is already set up to see more snaps than I'd hope and Grimble is what we have behind, ugh?

Has to be able to be upgraded, I'm not putting any stock in seeing Green on the field this year.

And behind him there is nothing adequate was more of the point there...

But, but, but Hubbard has the ability to suck out loud at all 5 positions on the line

I guess, my pointment is that any team probably sucks athe 3rd string tackle.

Addressed when? Next off season? A little late to look for an upgrade now most likely isn't it?

final cuts just came down... should be a experienced T available or not?

Don't we have that in Harris?

 

[slashsteel]

Don't we have that in Harris?

Normally I would say perhaps that is enough. But the starting RT might not make it thru the year, due to injury.

So this isn't the normal situation.

Why not bring a T in and have him learning the system justtttt in case Gilbert falls out leaving Harris as the starter, and little to nothing else.

TE

Especially cause Heath was a security blanket for Ben when nothing else opened up. Hopefully James/Grimble can step it up this season

We might need to evaluate our medical staff. Ours have misjudged some major injuries lately.

I'm not sure if the Steelers have a team shrink, but maybe they should add one. I can see it now. Here's a picture of a contract worth 50 million dollars and another picture of a duffle bag full of weed. You can't have them both. Pick one please.

I'm okay with tackle.

Yep....we have a few that apparently like the weed......but throw the entire team into the pot if you want.
