Need protection, need to open holes, need to stop getting a million penalties.
That is priority #1
I think we can get a good safety via trade or free agency.

While true, you can find the top Guards and Centers on the board in the early second. And you can still get a starting Guard/Center in the 3rd even the 4th round. It's an important position. But it's an easy position to draft for. Same goes with Right Tackle even. If you upgrade 2-3 linemen through the later rounds, that will go really far for improving our o-line. And you don't have to waste a first rounder on a lineman you don't need.
As for safety, you need a playmaker there. Troy Polamalu is arguably the most important player on the Steelers' defense. The defense doesn't look the same when he's not in the lineup.
