A little thin, isn't it? Mike Lorello?
Considering Ryan Clark's questionable health status, this lack of depth is a big reason, and an alarming one, why we believe the Steelers need to think long and hard about selecting Kenny Phillips, if he's available at 1.23 (as outlined in Tuesday's post).
That, and the fact that he's the top-rated safety in the draft, and the players at virtually all the other positions (OL, LB, DL, WR, RB) that many mock drafts have going to the Steelers -- each and every one has issues and/or question marks (except for Branden Albert, and he ain't gonna be there).
Kenny Phillips and Dan Connor would perhaps be the safest, "sure-thing" choices available when the Steelers go on the clock.
Our nod would go to Phillips. Teaming the best safety in college football with the best safety in the NFL: It could only help.
And it wouldn't mean giving up on Anthony Smith. This team needs quality depth, now, at this most crucial of positions.
We'd still trade down, for what it's worth.
