Should Pittsburgh spend a priority pick on a Tackle? Two weeks ago I thought I knew the answer. I’m a lot less sure now that I’ve done the research.
Those who favor the idea will point out that the Steeler OT’s are no better than average unless you assume a major jump by Dan Moore Jr. and either a healthy Zach Banner or a re-signed Chuks Okorafor. Those are all possible, but even then there would be no actual star. Thus there is definitely room for improvement and, since Tackle is a premium position, you aren’t going to find a top notch prospect if you wait until later in the draft.
