2. Pittsburgh should look at Tre Boston

The Steelers can also see if Tre Boston is a better fit than Vaccaro. He seems to be more reliable, starting in at least 10 games a season since 2016. He’s also younger, being 29-years-old compared to Vaccaro, who is 31. So the former Carolina Panther could find a new home in Pittsburgh if the Steelers come calling.

Boston has proven to be a ball-hawk at safety, snatching 12 interceptions in the last four seasons. He would go well with Fitzpatrick, another defender with an eye for the ball. His run game support is also strong; something Fitzpatrick isn’t the best at. The Steelers should take a serious look at Boston before another team gets to him first.
