Offseason A Testament To O-Line Depth Following Trades Of Marcus Gilbert, Jerald Hawkins

Since the Pittsburgh Steelers acquired Mike Munchak to the time that he parted for the Denver Broncos earlier this offseason, the team only used three draft picks on offensive linemen. The first and lowest of the three was Wesley Johnson, a do-everything guy who ultimately found a home at center.

Johnson was a fifth-round pick. Their most recent selection under Munchak was 2018 third-round selection Chukwuma Okorafor, who enters year two as the swing tackle, presumably, after performing above the line during his rookie season. The man in between was 2016 fourth-round pick Jerald Hawkins, who had little luck in his professional career.
