Just like that, the pre-draft process is all but over. In just a few days, the 2024 NFL Draft will come and go, and it will be clear who the Pittsburgh Steelers pursued and ultimately selected in the 2024 NFL Draft. To date, the Steelers held a number of formal Combine interviews, attended numerous Pro […]

Originally appeared at Steelers Now: OL Trainer Questions How Steelers Thought Mason Cole was Starting Center

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line philosophy has come up around Broderick Jones, who is currently playing right tackle after playing his college career at left tackle. It went back to how Kevin Dotson and Kendrick Green were used even, especially after Dotson left the team and became a star with the Rams. But they also started Mason Cole, who was a backup in Minnesota, at center for multiple.

Offensive line guru Duke Manyweather, who has worked with many offensive linemen, discussed Pittsburgh’s philosophy on...

Player: OL Spencer Anderson Stock Value: Up Reasoning: With the Steelers in need of a starting center and an upgrade at tackle, Spencer Anderson has an opportunity. The odds that he ends up in the starting lineup are low. However, Pittsburgh will struggle to land starters at both center and tackle this offseason. At the […]

There are many directions the Pittsburgh Steelers could go with their first-round pick, and one of the most intriguing of the less likely options for me is DB Cooper DeJean. The Iowa product is one of the most versatile defenders in this draft class. A peg of many shapes to fit a number of holes […]

Originally appeared at Steelers Now: Hall of Famer Believes Bears Could Regret Justin Fields Trade

The Pittsburgh Steelers have the upside in the quarterback room by adding Justin Fields to the mix. But he’s not perfect, in fact, far from it, as he move into the next stage of his career. One legitimate concern about Fields’ game is his pocket awareness, which often leads to unnecessary sacks. He just doesn’t see the field very well. Russell Wilson has the same issue, however, so the Steelers might be dealing with a potential dilemma.

Fields had two head coaches and three different...

The Baltimore Ravens are as acutely aware as any team how compensation works. They have worked the formulas as well as any team under the league, particularly with compensatory picks. Odds are they are one of few teams who spend a great deal of time worrying about such things, though. Indeed, general manager Eric DeCosta […]

Will the Steelers move Broderick Jones to left tackle even if they don’t draft a premier right tackle? The Steelers still plan for Broderick Jones as their left tackle “eventually”, which is why they drafted him. Yet he spent the second half of his rookie season starting at right tackle, having battled for the left […]

Originally appeared at Steelers Now: Russell Wilson Invites Steelers OL to Pirates Game as Thank You

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson had a bad rap in Denver and Seattle for lacking leadership and not being a good teammate. Nothing of such has been showcased in Pittsburgh so far, however.

Wilson sat next to Steelers offensive lineman Spencer Anderson at the Penguins game last Saturday night. Anderson was a seventh-round pick out of Maryland last year and is not a marquee name on the roster. That action by Wilson is a far cry from the reports out of Denver [that he...

Originally appeared at Steelers Now: A Nightmare Scenario Could Come to Fruition for the Steelers in Round 1

It’s no secret, offensive tackle and center are two major needs for the Pittsburgh Steelers in this year’s draft. Completing the rebuilding process of the O-line is pivotal, especially in Arthur Smith’s offensive scheme that is very run-game oriented.

They need to pair Broderick Jones with an elite tackle, Dan Moore Jr. hasn’t showcased that he’s the answer. Center is also a glaring hole and something that the Steelers have been trying to address since Maurkice Pouncey’s retirement following the 2020 season....
