31. Pittsburgh Steelers: Aaron Williams, CB, Texas
By Bam Morris of Blitzburgh Blog
The Steelers have needs on both the offensive and defensive lines, but the biggest weakness of all is cornerback. The NFL becomes more of a passing league every season and the Steelers defense has been consistently victimized in the secondary for several seasons by teams picking apart poor man coverage by the defensive backs. Ike Taylor is one of the finest cornerbacks in the league, but Pittsburgh has nobody else they can trust to play man coverage. Williams has the size and smarts to give the Steelers another guy they can trust to defend top receivers while the linebackers blitz away.
