Offensive line (8):

Dan Moore Jr., Kevin Dotson, Kendrick Green, James Daniels, Chuks Okorafor, Mason Cole, Joe Haeg, J.C. Hassenauer

There are already seven of these spots filled up before the pre-season process even begins. The five starters have not been figured out yet and will be ironed out in time, but seven will make the roster. There will be depth players that lose starting spots and other players that will be one of the starting five on this unit.

Dan Moore Jr. is the returning left tackle that is coming off a solid stretch run in his rookie season. Kevin Dotson is a reliable starter when healthy, he just needs to put a full season together. Kendrick Green and Mason Cole will battle for the starting center spot and the loser will be a swing depth piece.

James Daniels is going to be the best starter across this offensive line as he starts at guard as well. Chuks Okorafor will be the returning right tackle and start in 2022 while Joe Haeg continues to be the swing tackle. The biggest question mark right now that will be decided in camp is the last lineman that will make this team.

It looks like there is only one spot open for this roster across the offensive trenches. That player will need to have versatility and the experience of starting as well. J.C. Hassenauer fits that bill as he has played both center and guard during games for the Steelers and he beats out John Leglue for this last spot in this scenario.
