Pittsburgh Steelers

Jaylen Warren says Goodbye as he confirms this will be his last season at Pittsburgh Steelers as he is now going to….

PITTSBURGH — The NFL Draft is less than a week away, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are keeping their plans tightly sealed.

Speculation around the league is that the Steelers could look to make a move in the first round. Unlike last year, however, some believe they are open to dropping back from the number 20 position.

While the organization has made no public comment about their intentions, they are clearly weighing their options. So, what are the pros and cons of trading the 20th pick at the draft?

The Steelers need to fill holes in several places in the lineup, and this draft is critical if they want to be considered a serious threat in the AFC.

This crop of players is loaded at positons like wide receiver, offensive line, and secondary, all positions of need for Pittsburgh.

If the goal is to improve the roster across the board, moving back in the first round is the best opportunity to do so.

Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin need more talent on the roster, and acquiring additional picks in the first 100 selections almost guarantees that.

The Steelers have made it very clear they want to improve their offensive line at the tackle and center positions.

That shouldn’t be a problem in this draft, with some mock drafts containing as many as eight linemen going in the first 32 picks.

Unless there is only one lineman the Steelers are focused on getting, how much can moving back four or five spots, affect the plan to improve the offensive line?
