Curious what people see the Steelers best defensive alignments on passing downs with the current roster.
Watt Heyward Harmon Highsmith
Wilson Queen
Slay Ramsey JPJ
Elliot Thornhill
Worry about Thornhill as a starter but if he lines up and plays in a different zipcode like Minka guess it doesn't really matter.

You might see some Castro. He could play FS although he's probably more suited for alley safety/Nickel.

Wasn't sure if Castro would make the roster but they need someone besides Miles Killebrew.
Would expect them to have 4 safeties.

Are we throwing in the towel on Bishop? I recall interceptions when he played!

Yeah, the final 53 will be a challenge to settle on this year.
