Your name is Kevin Colbert and you get to sign a FA OLB....

I will go with Graham, but not like this list is overwelming.

Still the Steelers need two OLBers.............
 
Did I miss anyone?

Sheard would not be a bad one for this list, I think I will vote Orakpo but man his health scares me. I can see McPhee as a good option as well, but it is hard to pass on the potential Orakpo has. Yeah this could be boom or bust but I am willing to roll the dice here.
 
If orakpo can be signed cheaply due to his injuries then I think he would be my choice. At least he has proven he can start at NFL level, unlike mcphee and Graham.

But really I would roll the dice with moats, Harrison, rookie and JJ. Invest the cap room on a CB

Since I am channeling Colbert, and have clearly identified OLB and CB as dire needs, I find a FA NT, piss off Deebo and Deisel, and go into the draft planning on going TE, DL, CB, OL, OLB .... in that order.
 
How much am I paying?


Well first your going to have to pay the fiddler. Then due to cap space reasons, you'll have to steal from Paul, to pay Peter............



Salute the nation
 
With the 22nd pick in the first round of the 2016 NFL draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select OLB......(fill in the blank)
 
It all depends on contract demands. I wouldn't sign anyone week one but wait see how it plays out and then maybe focus on the best of the rest.
 
From that list, I go McPhee first, Worilds second, Graham third. I don't get the love affair with Orakpo. He's in between Woodley and Worilds production with Woodley type health.

With the 22nd pick in the first round of the 2016 NFL draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers race to the podium with the selection in hand and pick .......... which is followed by a loud screaming WHAT THE **** WAS THAT FROM STEELER NATION.
 
if we can keep women and guns away, and all were to agree to the same contract terms, then Hardy is my choice.
 
Derek Morgan. Not on poll. Young, talented, cheap, and know our system from Horton in Tenn. Give him 5mil/yr.
 
I will sign Houston. Only the BEST I say.
 
Sheard and sign cb"s McCain and Kareem Jackson de jerry Hughes DT Darnell docket and deebo
 
I fire Tomlin and with the money I save the franchise now and in the future I sign Suh.

Let's not forget the last time we had this big of a need at this position and we drafted position instead of the best player..........JARVIS JONES!!!!!!!

You do mean 2015 right?
 
The best one we can get for 6 or 7 million per. Then, I agree to sign Moats for a several year deal and Harrison for a 1 year deal. From there, look to the draft. JJ must step up. He started last season looking better and lets hope he starts this coming year looking even better than that. We need 8 plus sacks from him but, more important, we need constant pressure on the QB.

The only one I'd pay $6m/year for is JW. Maybe Orakpo, but that is, truly, name recognition only rather than having looked at him.
 
1. Worlids. But only if he wants around 4-5.5 million a year. If not, then let him test the market and let someone else overpay. He knows the system and we know exactly what we have in him. This is why i chose to vote for him in the poll.
2. Orakapo on a 2 or 3 year, incentive-laden deal that is easily voidable with little dead money. If he recovers from his injuries and returns to form then its the steal of decade.
3. Moats is who i think we bring in 1st. He is capable enough to keep a starting spot warm while we draft and train the right rookie, plus he can be a backup at all 4 LB positions.
4. Keep Deebo on speed dial, just in case!
 
Jabaal Sheard with a 5-year, $25 million deal with $10-$12 guaranteed and O'Brien Scholfield with a 2-year, $4 million deal with about $2.5 million guaranteed.

Why not...Lets get this ship righted.
