Andre James could help anchor Pittsburgh's offensive line

Offensive line still needs help going forward as the Steelers get closer to a good group up front. If they can successfully move Jones back over to the left side and find an answer at right tackle then they will be in a good spot. If they can upgrade over Mason Cole at center then they could be one of the best groups in football.

There are a couple of options that could be nice pickups in free agency if they make it to market. Lloyd Cushenberry is one option that could make sense for Pittsburgh. Another name to monitor is Andre James of the Las Vegas Raiders.

He has graded out better than Cole for the past couple of seasons and should upgrade that spot immediately. Biggest concern here is if the Steelers are going to move on from Cole or not. He is a great teammate and leader, but his play on the field this year has been bad.

Center is a spot that could also be an option come draft day, but free agency should also get a look. The Steelers should consider James to slide into their center role by signing him this offseason. He's a quality center that has a good chunk of NFL starts and is still a good age to shell out a longer term deal.
