Upgrading kick return game a #1 priority in free agency for the Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are believed to be very interested in Tennessee Titans kick returner Chris Carr according to a source. Upgrading the kick return game is a priority for the Steelers and they will reach out to Carr who will hit the open market on February 27th. Carr, 25, was a member of the Tennessee Tians in 2008. Carr averaged 28.1 yards per kick return for the Titans who were the NFL's top return unit (25.4 yards per kick return).

The Steelers have yet to reach out to running back Fred Taylor. Taylor has scheduled visits next week to New England and Buffalo.

Parker, Mendo, Moore, Russell......where does Fred Taylor fit? I think a big bruiser is needed to challenge Russell, but Taylor is not that type of back.

I would love to see the Steelers take a look at Javorskie Lane at FullBack and see if Willie can run behind this guy. He is a beast of a blocker too.

They had there chance to get a big back the year they drafted Spaeth - they should have taken a chance on Michael Bush - missed opp.

In my mock, I have the Steelers drafting Javorskie Lane in the fifth round, if they don't grab him between the fourth and the fifth with a "comp" pick they get for losing Faneca last year. At 6-1 and 285 pounds, he's the next "Bus."
