NFL Team Needs-Pittsburgh Steelers

2008 Pittsburgh Steelers Team Needs
Offensive Tackle: Last season, the Steelers had numerous injury issues to their offensive line. Pittsburgh made it a priority to extend the contract of Ben Roethlisberger, which means they will now take drastic measures to make sure he remains upright. Look for them to devote multiple picks to help rebuild their offensive line.
Wide Receiver: Big Ben has made it clear that he wants a tall target to have at his disposal. Furthermore, Hines Ward is an aging veteran, and his body has sustained a lot of damage the last few seasons. Look for the Steelers to give Roethlisberger exactly what he requested via the draft.
Cornerback: Pittsburgh already has more than serviceable corners, but they didn’t always play well last year when the competition got stronger. Coach Mike Tomlin will probably want to bring in some healthy competition at the position. In other words, they have good cornerbacks, but the Steelers could afford to find even better talent in their secondary.
Defensive End: Aaron Smith is nearing the end of his career, which means it is time to find his eventual replacement. Not to mention, you can never have enough rush ends in the 3-4 defense.
Draft Candidates: OT Sam Baker, USC, OT Anthony Collins, Kansas, WR James Hardy, Indiana, WR Adarius Bowman, Oklahoma State, CB Justin King, Penn State, CB Trae Williams, South Florida, DE Kenny Iwebema, Iowa, DE Tommy Blake, Texas Christian

I’m an NFL fan who is passionate about football and watches a variety fo teams. That being said, With all the hoopla over the Steelers winning the Super Bowl I personally feel this team showes more “Unsportsman like Conduct” during a game than any other team in the NFL and they didn’t disappoint any of the fans that go for this kind of behavior during the Super Bowl against the Cardnels. I’ve never watched a team that showed less humility either and couldn’t even give the Cardnels team some well deserved Kudo’s for their efforts in this game. There’s no question that the Steelers is one of the best NFL teams and the fans should be proud but at least show some kind of respect towards their opponents. They may becoming “The American Team”, just as the Cowboys were but when the Cowboys fell off their pedistal it was a long way down and if the Steelers aren’t careful their day is coming when they too will be knocked off their pedistal. They still put their pants on one leg at a time just like the other teams do and if they aren’t careful their greed and ego will get their heads so big they can’t get there helmets on. . .and the fact remains if it had not been for a team mate from OSU (OHIO STATE) they wouldn’t have won the Super Bowl. So maybe they aren’t as good as they think they are even though they come from Steel country.
