"Assuming the Steelers decide their in-house options under center are better than any outside alternatives (I know what they say about assuming ...), the team should focus its attention on upgrading the center and tackle positions," Reuter writes for NFL.com. "Pittsburgh's linebacker corps fought through injuries last year, so finding a true difference-maker in the second level should be among their highest priorities, as well. And DT Cameron Heyward can't play forever, so adding another young star next to 2023 second-rounder Keeanu Benton seems logical."
So, if that's going to be the plan of attack at the most important position in all of sports, the Steelers better focus on building around their quarterback, particularly in the trenches. That means adding pieces to protect Pickett and the other quarterbacks. Offensive tackle and center are massive needs for the Steelers.
Names like Georgia's Amarius Mims and Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, West Virginia's Zach Frazier, Oregon State's Taliese Fuaga, Duke's Graham Barton and Oregon's Jackson Powers-Johnson are popular ones along the offensive line for the Steelers so far. It's a good bet one of them will wind up a Steeler. Elsewhere, defensive line, linebacker and cornerback are major needs, too.
