Left Tackle- Andre Dillard, Philadelphia Eagles

I am staying with the offensive line and rightfully so for this next trade. The Steelers should try and pursue Left Tackle, Andre Dillard from the Philadelphia Eagles. Dillard was a former 1st round draft pick back in 2019 by the Eagles. He stands at 6’5” and weighs 315lbs. There have been rumors about him being on the trade block, so the Steelers should go out and get him.

With Dan Moore Jr. struggling in the run and pass game, Dillard could come in right away and be an improvement for Ben Roethlisberger and company. The Steelers offensive line has been giving up 2.2 sacks a game. This is far too many for an aging and injury-prone quarterback under center. Andre Dillard will help improve this issue that currently has been a big problem for Pittsburgh this year.

If the Steelers could trade for both Jonah Jackson and Andre Dillard, this offense would look completely different. It is obvious that Kevin Dotson and Dan Moore Jr. are not the answer and Pittsburgh will not be winning with those two starting.

Dillard also has 0 false starts on the year. This has been a big problem with the Steelers offensive line. They have way too many penalties, especially false starts. He would be a great pick-up before the trade deadline.
