Paul Zeise: Steelers have quietly put together start of an excellent offseason

PITTSBURGH — The Steelers haven't made any big splash moves this offseason as they continue to try to rebuild their roster, but that is actually not a bad thing. The opposite is probably true, as they have been cautious and measured in the way they have gone about their business and it appears they have addressed some of their biggest needs.

That's despite the fact that they haven't gone out and spent a bunch of money on big-name free agents. Nor have they pulled off any blockbuster trades or even really entertained any. And they have spent most of their time scouting and talking to NFL draft prospects who are likely to be there on the board in the middle of the first round when they draft.

It isn't a flashy strategy, but it seems to be a winning one and not all that far away from the way they have done business for the most part for the past 50 years.
