Which round Steelers should target each offensive position?

Interior Offensive Line

Day Two

I’m cheating a little bit here, but the Steelers have to leave day two of the draft with a center being selected. Either round will do, as there are plenty of suitable names that should be around in both, but with a center being the biggest team need it must be addressed early. If there was a first-round-worthy center this targeted round would be the first but there simply isn’t a prospect that makes sense at 24.

In the second round, if Creed Humphrey, Landon Dickerson, or Josh Myers are around, they could serve as the starter this season. Any of the three make a lot of sense and would be valuable linemen going forward. More than likely, at least one of these options is off the board though, and if a run happens early the team may have to wait an extra round to grab their center.

Quinn Meinerz or Trey Hill would be perfectly suitable third-round consolation prices if need be. Both need to develop a little more before being tasked with starting, but B.J. Finney could man down the position until a rookie is ready. No matter what round the team targets one, a day two of the draft has to involve a center getting drafted.

The Steelers offense has quite a few needs this offseason, and the draft won’t quite fill all of them. That said, there are clearly some deeper rounds than others to address certain positions. These are the rounds that make the most sense for the team to invest in each offensive position.
