Heading into Round 2 of the 2020 NFL Draft, options remain wide open for the Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers, and their massive following, watched Round 1 of the 2020 NFL Draft as spectators, feeling like the kids at Christmas who have to wait until December 26th to get some gifts.

They watched as all the other kids got to open their brand-new gifts, and the Steelers were forced to wait after trading away their top pick to the Miami Dolphins when they acquired Minkah Fitzpatrick prior to Week 3 of the 2019 regular season.

But fans shouldn’t fret, because there is still plenty of talent available for the Steelers on Day 2 of the draft. Their first pick will be the 49th overall pick, and even Team President Art Rooney II believes the Steelers are in a good spot.

In an interview with reporter Missi Matthews, Rooney told her the team isn’t “desperate” at any position.

While desperate might be a strong word, the Steelers certainly have some holes which need filled, specifically at the following positions, in no particular order:

Running Back
Wide Reciever
Offensive Line
Outside Linebacker
Inside Linebacker
Safety

Could the team still target a position outside of those aforementioned positions? Maybe a quarterback? Nothing is impossible, but if you look at the above positions, there is still plenty to look forward to on Friday night.
