Ben Roethlisberger isn't on the hot seat, despite the selection of Mason Rudolph by the Steelers. In fact his seat isn't even tepid.
But there are some members of the team who are on notice after the draft.
The Steelers open their rookie mini-camp Friday and the on-field phase of OTAs next week. That's when veteran players will begin feeling the heat from the team's latest additions.
Here are the top guys whose seats should be the warmest heading into OTAs.
1. Josh Dobbs/Landry Jones
This is a no-brainer. And it's also one of the few things Roethlisberger has gotten right since Rudolph was selected in the third round. The Steelers aren't likely to keep four quarterbacks around.
That means Dobbs, a fourth-round pick last year, or Jones, the team's No. 2 QB the past couple of years, will be gone. It could be via trade. Or one of the two could wind up hurt and then placed on injured reserve. It's funny how things like that happen.
Chances are, Jones will still be the No. 2 quarterback. The only way that doesn't happen is the unlikely one where he is beaten out by Dobbs or Rudolph comes in and looks like he can capably be the No. 2.
I don't see either of those happening.
Dobbs struggled through the preseason last year, and while I expect him to be better in his second year, he's not going to leap past Jones.
Could he have trade value? Perhaps. But there's no way the Steelers will recoup anything close to a fourth-round pick for him. They might be fortunate to get a conditional seventh-round selection.
But the Steelers also didn't know Rudolph would be available to them this year when they selected Dobbs in 2017. That's the price of doing business in today's NFL when you're trying to acquire a quarterback of the future. If Rudolph turns out to be that guy and it only cost the Steelers fourth, seventh and third-round picks -- acquired for Martavis Bryant -- was it worth it?
2. Sean Davis
Davis led the Steelers in tackles and tied for the team lead in interceptions in his first full season as a starter. But he's also the most likely candidate to move to free safety, despite Mike Tomlin saying free agent acquisition Morgan Burnett will get the first shot there.
Burnett is the kind of sure tackler the Steelers need at free safety -- the kind of sure tackler they need Davis to be.
He has the speed to handle the job, but the acquisition of Terrell Edmunds in the first round along with Burnett also gives the Steelers options.
Davis needs to take the next step.
3. James Conner/Stevan Ridley/Fitzgerald Toussaint
I know, Toussaint isn't making this team. That's true. But injuries happen at the running back position and with Le'Veon Bell not likely to show up until the start of the regular season -- unless the team finds a way to get him signed to a long-term contract -- Toussaint is going to be around.
Conner and Ridley, meanwhile, will be batting with rookie Jaylen Samuels for playing time in the preseason.
Conner was a third-round pick last year, so he's probably safe -- assuming he stays healthy. Ridley, meanwhile, has the most experience of any of the backs on the roster not named Le'Veon Bell.
Samuels should be good on special teams and that's where Conner needs to make his bones, as well.
Ridley is the guy who's probably the odd man out.
4. Justin Hunter
I would include Darrius Heyward-Bey here, but the coaching staff loves him. And it's not without merit. Heyward-Bey is the guy who runs the receiver room and keeps everyone grounded -- as much as he can.
He's also the guy who runs down plays from behind on fumbles, as he did two years ago against Cleveland, and serves as someone young players can look to as a leader.
Hunter, meanwhile, doesn't play special teams and has been an inconsistent deep threat throughout his career. But Roethlisberger likes him. And he had a good run in OTAs and training camp last year before virtually disappearing during the season.
James Washington will get every chance to replace Martavis Bryant as the team's deep threat. And you can expect Eli Rogers to be re-signed at some point when his knee is healed.
The Steelers are keeping Antonio Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Washington and Heyward-Bey. Will they keep six receivers again this year?
Perhaps, but it's not a given.
5. Jerald Hawkins/Matt Feiler
The Steelers kept nine offensive linemen last season because they knew if they exposed Hawkins or Feiler to waivers to try to slide them onto the practice squad, they would get scooped up in an offensive line-starved league.
Chris Hubbard is gone and third-round pick Chuks Okorafor has been added to help take his place.
But can the Steelers afford to keep nine offensive linemen again?
The five starters aren't going anywhere -- at least not this year -- and B.J. Finney and Okorafor are safe, as well. Feiler showed promise last season to surprisingly make the final roster. He needs to continue to show improvement.
Hawkins, a fourth-round pick two years ago, needs to take a leap forward, as well. He disappointed in camp last year but showed some promise as a blocking tight end.
The Steelers always seem to find an undrafted guy who comes out of nowhere to push for a spot, as well.
