ILB is a need position. Foote is probably staying for 1 more year. Sylvester is strictly a special teamer. Spence is still an uncertainty with knee injury.
If we draft a ILB in early rounds, he can sit and learn for a year so he can get ready as starter for 2014. LeBeau's complex defense is difficult to learn for any rookie.
I'll agree there is a need, but much like Foote is used now, the player in the spot will be a two down player. Not necessarily a 2nd round need.
I know the Steelers are up against the salary cap, but I think they could sign Bradshaw to address the RB need. He's only 27.
As for WR, we have Brown, Sanders, Cotchery and Burress, do you think we should still sign Steve Breaston or draft someone? Probably the latter?
I liked the idea of signing Breaston is we let Sanders go to the Patriots. While I don't have a problem with him as a player, especially in an offense he's produced in prior, they need someone opposite Brown for the long term. Burress is probably a 1 year guy now. Cotchery maybe 2 more. Sanders, seemingly, 1 more year.
Also need a guy, preferably, who is a speed guy to stretch the field and possibly return punts and kicks, which no one listed above is.
