The Pittsburgh Steelers have a secondary that desperately needs addressing but the top four corners are off the board and Kendall Fuller’s health status is too risky to take here, so the Steelers take the best safety prospect in Vonn Bell.

Pittsburgh never replaced Troy Polamalu after he retired but Bell would be a player they can plug at free safety and not have to worry about him for the next eight years. Coupled with the return of Senquez Golson from injury and the Steelers secondary can look vastly improved in one offseason. Bell has great ball skills with six interceptions during Ohio State’s run to the national title two seasons ago.
