Is it too early to be concerned about Broderick Jones?

The Steelers traded up in the first round to draft Broderick Jones last year. He failed to win a starting job as a rookie, but took over at right tackle mid-season. The Steelers placed big expectations on him for a second-year jump and a move to left tackle, but so far, things are not working out as planned.

Through two preseason games, Jones remains at right tackle, though that is at least partly due to rookie Troy Fautanu’s MCL injury. He has said himself that he can’t think about left tackle until Fautanu returns, but that’s only one issue.
