The Steelers will most likely pick a DE with their 15th pick as Tomlin is wanting to move from the 3-4 to the 4-3 next season and the Steelers are week in depth on the DL. If Adam Carriker of Neb falls to them then expect that to be a steal (he is currently projected to go at 14. This year's draft has a lot of potential in the DL and a number of 1st rounders are available (Charles Johnson, and Jarvis Moss would also be good additions)
Look for the Steelers to address CB or LB in the second round and OL on at the end of day one

I question the accuracy of this information, but my boss knows a lawyer for the Steelers and apparently we have been in talks with Paul Posluszny (LB Penn State )(Hometown boy - Hopewell, PA). But yes Jarvis Moss (DE Florida) has also been in the news as a possible draft pick. He was compared to Jevon Kearse when he was in high school but in his senior year he broke his pelvis which forced him to miss his first two years at Florida. He also loss some muscle mass which led scouts to compare him to Simeon Rice. I feel if we draft Jarvis Moss that it will begin a slow/smooth transition to a 4-3. Tomlin is not going to do anything drastic when he has a team that is capable of winning the super bowl. I personally would like to see us get Posluszny with our aging linebackers.

Now that the Steelers have addressed one of their weaknesses through free agency (O-Line), I honestly think they will go after one of two choices. One would be WR Dwayne Bowe of LSU. He is a surehanded receiver that has the size (6'2", 221lbs.) and ability to help out Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes. The other would be an OLB. I think however, that Posluszny of PSU will more than likely be gone by pick 15, so I think they'd choose Lawrence Timmons of Florida State. Timmons has the speed (4.65 in the 40) and size (6'1", 234lbs.), plus is an underclassman and has room to grow into the positon. Either one of these guys would be an instant improvement to the team. Go Steelers!

CB or DE.
CB: Leon Hall, Darrelle Revis, or Chris Houston
DE: Jarvis Moss, Anthony Spencer, Adam Carriker.
