PITTSBURGH, PA – JANUARY 14: Vance McDonald /

Tight End

1. Vance McDonald

2. Jesse James

3. Xavier Grimble

This is the same group as last year, but the only problem is that this group is injured. McDonald may not be ready for Week One and Grimble just came back from injury and will be just ready for the season.

Offensive Line

1. Alejandro Villanueva

2. Ramon Foster

3. Maurkice Pouncey

4. David Decastro

5. Marcus Gilbert

6. BJ Finney

7. Matt Feiler

8. Chukswoma Okorafor

9. Zach Banner

The starting offensive line is pretty consistent with what it has been in recent years. Feiler will now take over as the “Chris Hubbard” of the offensive line. He is capable of all 5 positions. Zach Banner will be Mike Munchak’s next project.
