The Isaiah Hartenstein Jersey Steelers have a critical coming off a return to the AFC playoffs. They took back the North with a 12-4 record, but they ended losing their wild-card game to the Browns badly and the runner-up Ravens also advanced to the divisional round.Ben Roethlisbeger and the offense fought through somelimitations. The defense was the foundation for much of the succe s and battled well through injuries.Pittsburgh needs to get more balanced offensivelyand reinforce on every level defensively. Equipped with eight picks from April 29-May 1, the Steelers should spread the wealth toboth sides of the ball. Here's projecting what they might do from Round 1 through Round 7:MORE NFL DRAFT: | No. 24 overall, first roundNajee Harris, RB, Alabama (6-2, 230 pounds)The Steelers need to think about boosting their running game early, either with a strong right Malik Beasley Jersey tackle or with a potential true feature back to replace James Conner. Harris makes a lot of sense because he's a powerful pounder between the tackles but is also gifted and elusivein the pa sing game. He can be a three-down workhorse for them to clean up a shaky committee.No. 55 overall, second roundAsante Samuel Jr., CB, Florida State (5-10, 184 pounds)Cornerback will be an area need after the team cut outside starter Steven Nelson and also lost slot cover man Mike Hilton to the rival Bengals in free agency. The Steelers should like Samuel's pedigree and versatility to play either spot with the nece sary speed and quickne s.No. 87 overall, third roundCameron McGrone, LB, MIchigan (6-1, 232 pounds)The Steelers are looking forward to having fellow former Wolverine Devin Bush active for their defense again and need to give him some better support making plays on the second level, so it makes sense to tap into the same pro-friendly scheme.No. 128 overall, Tyler Lydon Jersey fourth roundTalanoa Hufanga, S, USC (6-0, 199 pounds)Hufanga should have appeal to the Steelers after training with a notable fellow former Trojan, Troy Polamalu. He is an explosive playmaker in the same vein with ma sive upfield production against run and pa s.No. 140 overall, fourth round (compensatory)Tedarrell Slaton, DT, Florida (6-4, 330 pounds)The Steelers can find some sturdy athleticism for their 3-4 nose tackle spot with Slaton.No. 216 overall, sixth round (from Buccaneers)Simi Fehoko, WR, Stanford (6-4, 222 pounds)The Steelers are loaded at wideout now with JuJu Jerami Grant Jersey Smith-Schuster, Chase Claypool, Diontae Johnson and James Washington, but need to develop a big target for the future as a contingency. Fehoko uses his size well as a big, physical target and can see work as an interchangeable backup at first.No. 245 overall, seventh round (from Dolphins)Tristen Hoge, G, BYU (6-5, 310 pounds)The last name suggests he's related to former Steelers running back MerrilHoge and Tristen is indeed his nephew. He's a good developmental guard for the Steelers with natural power and high, experienced effort.No. 255 overall, seventh roundShane Buechele, QB, SMU (6-0, 210 pounds)Buechele, the son of former MLB third-baseman Steve, may be worth a late-round flier for an.otherwise QB-le s draft with Big Ben returning. Buechele isn't special physically, but he stands out with his Nikola Jokic Jersey smarts and toughne s, which give him a chance to grow all-around into a solid backup.
