Today I wanted to look at defensive line prospects in the upcoming draft, a position that the Pittsburgh Steelers are currently thin at on the depth chart. The graph below uses their 2022 PFF Grade and their current rank on PFF’s Big Board that updates through the draft process:
The top overall player on PFF’s current board at the position is highly touted prospect Jalen Carter at two overall. He played nearly 400 snaps in each of the last two seasons after landing just shy of 300 in 2020, playing the B gap mostly along with experience across the line, with 100+ over the tackle and A gap snaps the last three seasons.
