Pittsburgh (12-4 Super Bowl Champions)
Current Situation: Pittsburgh wasn't pretty, flashy or loud, but was very quietly the best team in football this past season. With a sixth Super Bowl ring in the Steel City, the Steelers have established themselves as the premiere franchise in the NFL.
Advice:
- Overhaul the offensive line. With no other immediate needs, Pittsburgh should concentrate the vast majority of its effort on improving arguably the league's worst O-Line. Willie Parker had no holes all season and Ben Roethlisberger will be done in four years if he keeps getting sacked this often. Draft O-Line early, draft O-Line middle, draft O-Line late. Pittsburgh should even consider paying a veteran free agent.
- Decide if Limas Sweed is ready to step into the slot. Nate Washington will be a free agent and if they feel that Sweed isn't ready, they should look into resigning him.
- Improve the pedestrian special teams by investing in a dangerous kick returner
- Get younger on the D-Line. Brett Keisel, Aaron Smith and Casey Hampton are all in their thirties.
- Try to resign Bryant McFadden. With Deshea Townsend aging, McFadden could be Pittsburgh's long-term answer at CB.
- If a LB that they like falls to them, they should take him. Pittsburgh has an eye for star LBs (see James Harrison)
