In the 2024 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers focused on the offensive line, drafting three offensive linemen with their seven picks. Despite this focus in the draft, some analysts still believe the Steelers need more help on the offensive line. Bleacher Report’s Matt Holder wrote an article discussing one move each team still needs to make, and he believes the Steelers still need to add to their offensive line by signing free agent OL Nick Gates.
“With three out of five projected starting offensive linemen still on rookie contracts, the Steelers are pretty young in the trenches, so it couldn’t hurt to add a veteran,” wrote Holder.
