im happy with the play of the former army ranger, and the team is too since they brought him back as well
hopefully they can stay healthy and grab a DB, safety in the first and 2nd rounds
I'm not worried if Villi is the starting left tackle next year, but beachum has been even better. And it also fills the back-up role, while giving Villi one more year to grow into a left tackle. He played like a legit LT last year, but nonetheless he's a receiver convert to D end convert to offensive tackle. I'd be happy giving beachum the 1 year deal the rumor says we are offering.
Cortez seemed better last year in the short time before he got hurt, but I still don't know about him. I don't think we want to cut him, but his cap hit from doing so would be manageable this year if that's the option if he doesn't take a pay cut.
Landing Weddle would really give the Steelers draft room to draft a luxury player if we don't choose to take best corner available every pick. I'm leaning toward a luxury player who can be the starting punt and kick returner day one and not another 175 pound running back project with a 3rd round pick.
