Pittsburgh Steelers 2007 Draft Preview

Football Betting Lines

04/02/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Despite expectations that he would introduce his 4-3, Tampa-2 defense in Pittsburgh, new head coach Mike Tomlin appears set to keep Dick LeBeau's 3-4 zone-blitz scheme, at least for now. Still, you can expect the Steelers to target a pass rusher with the ability to play either defensive end or outside linebacker (especially following the release of Joey Porter) with one of its first two picks. Secondary help in the form of a cornerback or a versatile safety are other essential requirements in the Steel City. The offensive priorites are across the line, where longtime center Jeff Hartings retired and fellow trench staple Alan Faneca is in the final year of his contract. The Steelers are a little thin at receiver behind Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes, but that spot looks like more of a second-day priority.
