The Steelers have major needs on the defensive side of the football. This past offseason, they’ve lost the likes of Ike Taylor, Troy Polamalu, Jason Worilds, and legendary defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau.

Plus, their younger guys like Jarvis Jones and Cortez Allen have taken a big step back due to injury and bad play. Trading up and taking an elite defensive talent could be what this organization needs at this point.

I see a guy like Trae Waynes adding much needed help to their ailing secondary, and maybe even Danny Shelton bringing back the much needed grit in the middle of their defensive line that was once manned by Casey Hampton.

The Steelers hold the 22nd-pick in the 1st-round so a swap of 1st-round picks, a mid-round pick and a late-round pick seem very doable, but again it depends on how desperate they are that would determine the true value of the deal.
