Pita Taumoepenu, our 111st ranked linebacker, is best suited to
be a primary backup. We project he will end up with the Pittsburgh Steelers because they
could use a player of this quality to play linebacker. The Steelers
currently have 8 healthy linebackers, and 2 are
rated better than Taumoepenu: (Alex Highsmith and Payton Wilson).
The Steelers currently have no
linebackers under contract beyond the 2027 season,
so Taumoepenu may only be getting a short term deal, considering his age, with the team.
