First things first. I flat out G.U.A.R.A.N.T.E.E. that the interior offensive line (“IOL”) group will NOT look the same after free agency.
- The current group has actual holes where we cannot see a viable starter;
- The Steelers abhor the idea of going into the draft with a “need” to pick a starter;
- Kevin Colbert and has said that Guard and Center are both weak positions in this year’s draft class;
- The team has salary cap room available;
- The team has not spent many available interviews on IOL prospects; and thus
- The team is going to add to this group significantly once free agency opens up.
