Well, the real issue here is how much influence will Tomlin Have on this defense. Fans think that because they kept their defensive coordinator that means he will call the shots. FAT CHANCE. If Tomlin has his way they will go to the 4-3and a cover2 and will draft accordingly.Looks for some fast linebackers who can COVER. Some people think Tomlin was just hired to give inspirational speeches-throw ared flag and to decide whether to go for it on 4th down. Forget it. Its his team now so forget everything you expect the Steelers to do . Those were the days of "Cowher Power". Its a new era.Get used to it

Tomlin has said on numerous occasions he will remain in the 3-4, will adding more schemes to his 4-3 and cover 2 bases. Then after a season or two of incorporating more, he will then switch to it fully.

As for drafting, I believe they will draft a linebacker to fill Porter's position, then most likely, better corner's.
