Defense dominates Steelers Wednesday pre-draft visits

Wednesday group of pre-draft visitors for the Pittsburgh Steelers hits defense hard. According to Steelers’ writer Ray Fittipaldo, The Steelers are bringing in a pair of linebacker and a pair of safeties for visits prior to the 2019 NFL draft.

The players coming in on Wednesday are as follows:

Ugo Amadi | Safety | Oregon

Darnell Savage | Safety | Maryland

Jordan Brailford | Linebacker | Oklahoma State

Ben Burr-Kirven | Linebacker | Washington

Of all the names on this list, Savage is easily the most interesting. He projects as a second-round pick and would provide Pittsburgh a centerfield type of safety with excellent coverage skills. He would be a welcome addition to the Steelers’ sub-package defense now that the team has released veteran Morgan Burnett.

Steelers predraft visitors for Wednesday: S Ugo Amadi of Oregon;
LB Jordan Brailford of Oklahoma State; LB Ben Burr-Kirven of Washington and
S Darnell Savage of Maryland.

The Steelers currently hold 10 picks in the upcoming draft. It is highly unlikely the Steelers make all 10 of those picks. It really feels like Pittsburgh is preparing some moves to go up and get an impact defender or two in the upcoming draft to finish off that side of the football.
