LB a low priority for Steelers in the 2009 draft
Don’t expect the Steelers to draft any linebackers in the 2009 draft. That’s the message that comes with the re-signing of Andre Frazier to a two-year contract, as well as the one-year deal recently awarded to Arnold Harrison. At the moment the team is in excellent shape at the position – both inside and outside. With James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley the Steelers have the best outside tandem in the league, and second-year player Bruce Davis is waiting in the wings. (Hopefully, Davis will be a player; we just don’t know yet.) On the inside, James Farrior and former first-rounder Lawrence Timmons figure to be the starters this season, but I’d be surprised if the team releases or trades Larry Foote (as many prognosticators suggest), because he provides insurance at the position at a relatively reasonable cost.

Its Bruce Davis, isnt it?
Bruce Davis, isnt it?
Don't forget Patrick Bailey.....he is a LB, and one of the best special teams players on the team. He isn't going anywhere. A. Harrison is a long-shot to make this team.
HERE IS A FUTURE LESSON THAT TIMMONS AND WOODLEY WILL BE LOOKING AT REAL CLOSE. THE WAY THEY ARE HANDLING JAMES HARRISON WILL MAKE THESE TWO LOOK INTO FREE AGENCY WHEN THIER TIME COMES TO RESIGN. I HOPE THE ROONEYS AREN'T GONNA PUT A BAD TASTE INTO THESE TWO GENTLEMENS MOUTH BY SAYING THEY ARE LOOKING FOR BARGAIN LINEBACKERS. WOODLEY WILL BE TOO SMART FOR THIS PLOY AS WILL TIMMONS. DO THE RIGHT THING DAN, AND GET A GOOD FAIR OFFER TO HARRISON ON THE TABLE HE MIGHT BE 32 BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE A 32 NFL BODY, THIS GUT STILL HAS A GOOD 4 TO 6 YEARS LEFT IN HIM.
