Today the Steelers signed free-agent CB Keiwan Ratliff to a one-year contract, perhaps lessening the chances that Pittsburgh will select a cornerback on the first day of the draft. The Cincinnati Bengals drafted Ratliff in the second round in 2004; he has been a backup for most of his career, which has also included stints with Tampa Bay and Indianapolis.

Guest post by Nick Beckwith ...Last year’s offensive line performance was, as the Emperor Chaz might put it, “want.” Offensive line is not the Steelers’ only need, of course, and in fairness the line did play significantly better as the season went on. But for the Steelers to defend their Super Bowl title or build and maintain a foundation for success over the next few years...
