In a recent episode of the Stat Geek podcast, I tackled the question posed to me about if the Steelers specifically looked to draft players who were larger than the players they would possibly be replacing. While larger is not always better when it comes to specific positions, it was interesting to see how the height and weight of the Steelers draft picks compared to players who were recently with the Steelers or who they would be fighting for playing time on the 2021 roster. The biggest issue in tackling the question was getting a correct height and weight for the newly drafted players. With no NFL combine this spring, getting an accurate measurement was not the easiest task. Rather than trying to compile the information myself in order to get the best data, I decided to trust another source who hopefully did the job for me. Therefore, all heights and weights of every player listed are coming directly from Pro Football Reference and their player profiles. ....

With many draft profiles focusing on those players towards the top and middle of the NFL draft, it is time to get to take a look at these other members of the Pittsburgh Steelers who will have just as much opportunity to make the roster in 2021 as those who were selected in the draft, despite the more difficult path. Remember, some draft profiles for these players are quite harsh as they are looking at them as a draftable prospect. Taking a flyer on an UDFA is a completely different story as many times the potential the player shows is what lands them on an NFL offseason roster. ....

Defensively, it all comes down to depth, and back ups that still play a considerable amount of the snap percentages. Below are a list of defenders that could fit in pretty well in Pittsburgh’s defensive scheme. While the Steelers are sitting pretty good when it comes to the salary cap, they might only be able to add one or two players to their off-season roster without having to move more money. Thankfully with the dropped salary cap every other team in the league is feeling the same crunch. Therefore, a number of these players will be had for close to league minimum deals if they want to even continue their careers as professional football players. ....

Aller/Getty Images Now that the NFL Draft is in the books, and the Steelers have picked up nine new heads (and a bunch of UDFA talent, ahem), most of the talk is about grades and projections. I’ll leave that to the more informed voices. But I’ve been thinking about veterans too especially on the outstanding Pittsburgh defense. This spring, the team brought back Vince Williams and Tyson Alualu, both of whom seemed to have two feet out the door. Meanwhile, Steven Nelson was flat-out released, while Mike Hilton and Bud Dupree signed with other squads. ....
