3 biggest remaining weaknesses on Steelers roster following the draft

Steelers centers

The whole offensive line was in shambles last season, so it’s hard to fault anyone in particular. However, I would argue that the center position was the worst of the group, and I’m not sure that it has improved with the half-hearted moves the Steelers made this offseason.

I really like the James Daniels signing. I think he was the best free-agent move they made this offseason. Despite being a center at Iowa, Daniels played guard for the first four years of his career for the Chicago Bears. I doubt the Steelers are going to want to transition him back to center at this point.

This means that it’s possible we could see an open competition at center between second-year center Kendrick Green, free agent signing Mason Cole, and veteran J.C. Hassenauer. Each player is a rather underwhelming option, in my mind, and I don’t think Cole has been particularly impressive early in his career.

If these are the options for the Steelers, I would fully expect center to be one of the biggest areas of weakness on the roster once again for Pittsburgh in 2022.

There’s a chance that the players at these positions could outperform expectations, but I’d be lying if I said they didn’t have me worried. Pittsburgh’s roster is looking stronger, but these three positions could potentially hurt the team in 2022 if no other moves are made.
