"Would You Rather?" Steelers Mini-Camp Edition

Mandatory Mini-Camp is just about here! The Steelers have a lot of things to be excited and concerned about. The offensive line is notably young, but has some decent experience with the return of 3 starters, and signings of 2 free agents. The receiver room has some new, exciting faces. Stephon Tuitt’s retirement brings attention to the defensive line. Of course, we couldn’t go without mentioning the ongoing quarterback battle!

For this edition of Would You Rather, we will dive into some spots on the roster concerning position battles, solidified spots, and maybe even some unexpected hypotheticals—simply because I thrive off of those questions.

Without further ado… Would you rather???

See the Steelers sign/trade for a mid-tier defensive lineman or wait to see what they have in the preseason?

This is a hot topic among Steelers Nation. Let’s talk about it. Earlier we suggested trading for a familiar face in Javon Hargrove. However, with the draft and salary capital the Steelers' often value over all else, a Hargrove reunion may not be likely. Additionally, having the return of Chris Wormley, Cameron Heyward, and Tyson Alualu puts the Steelers in a manageable position. Young guys like Montravius Adams, Isaiahh Loudermilk, and 3rd round rookie Demarvin Leal will inevitably have their opportunities (gotta give the main guys a rest!) It does beg the question… are these three enough to compete in a stacked AFC North?

See Terrell Edmunds in the box or in more coverage areas?

The Steelers are in a really good spot with their safety depth. They currently have four dudes with starting experience and a second-year player in Tre Norwood who has the flexibility to play in the slot and safety positions. With the unknown of how Devin Bush will play this year, could we see Terrell Edmunds subbed into the box more often with Minkah Fitzpatrick and Damontae Kazee/Karl Joseph in coverage? Edmunds, despite his previous inconsistencies, has grown in coverage and is a physical supporter in the run game. In another contract year, Edmunds will certainly play with eyes on a bigger payday than what he got this year. The safety market is very hot and cold. The flexibility of Edmunds could be needed.
