21 pick for the second consecutive year and could be looking to make a splash in front of their home crowd. Wide receiver, guard, and tackle are three of the biggest positions of need identified for the Steelers after the ensuing wave of free agency. The need for a left tackle intensified on Monday after ESPN insider Adam Schefter reported that starting left tackle Broderick Jones suffered a setback with his neck injury suffered last year.
Jones’ status remains up in the air for training camp and the start of the season. Could the Steelers trade up for an impactful wide receiver, a starting left guard, or another tackle to add into the mix? General Manager Omar Khan is not ruling anything out.
“All options are on the table. We’re open to whatever’s best for the Steelers,” Khan said at the Steelers pre-draft press conference . Khan said that he will have a better feel for potential deals once the draft starts.
