#14 Pittsburgh Steelers: Calvin Pryor, S UL
Rory’s Take: Ryan Clark likely will not be back and there is a chance Polamalu gets cut for cap reasons. If that happens Pryor would be a natural free safety and Shamarko Thomas would be a natural strong safety.
Chase’s Take: Pittsburgh would be hard pressed to cut Troy Polamalu, but they do need to start looking for replacements for their aging defense which helped keep them out of the playoffs last season. Pryor is a player that can learn from one of the best safeties of the 00’s and bring some much needed youth to Pittsburgh’s secondary.
