Summary
The Steelers have been hurting at inside linebacker since the injury to Ryan Shazier. In an effort to resolve that problem they traded up in this year's draft to select Bush at number ten. He may prove a step down from Shazier in terms of big play ability but Bush is a solid three down linebacker. He excels versus the run, can get home on the blitz and is dependable in coverage which is something the team has been missing at the position. Bush is expected to be a starter from day one and the organization is hopeful he will take on a leadership role. As the old cliché goes the most important ability is availability. In that aspect he should be an upgrade over the oft injured Shazier as Bush started all 25 games for Michigan over the past two years. Steelers inside backers rarely put up stellar tackle totals but they usually make up for it in the big play columns. Bush had 10 sacks in the last two season at Michigan but will need to step up in the turnover columns as a pro. The scheme could go a long way toward helping him get there. (May 16)FBG Staff Rankings
