In his latest mock draft, NFL.com’s Chad Reuter is placing a predictable, heavy emphasis on improving the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line and run game. In his league-wide, three round mock draft, he has the team taking USC offensive tackle Alijah Vera-Tucker at #24 overall. Here’s his brief explanation for the pick.
“The Steelers are looking to get tougher up front. Vera-Tucker will certainly do that at left tackle, if Alejandro Villaneuva leaves as a free agent.”
There’s no question the Steelers are likely to have holes along the offensive line prior to the draft.
