The Pittsburgh Steelers are finally on the clock.
After restructuring Big Ben’s contract, the Steelers will be looking to run it back after an interesting year.
After starting 10-0 last year, the Steelers finished the regular season only winning one out of the last four games and were a first-round exit in the playoffs after a 48-37 loss to the Cleveland Browns.
The Steelers have also yet to bring back several key pieces to their team, leading to a very interesting scenario in the draft.
With long-time blindside protector, Alejandro Villanueva, still sitting in free agency, the Steelers could be looking to find his replacement.
This is an extremely strong draft class for offensive lineman, especially on the perimeter.
A player like Samuel Cosmi could be very useful for the team to anchor down the left side.
With the retirement of longtime center Maurkice Pouncey, the team could also look for a player like Landon Dickerson out of Alabama to replace the production.
While our analysts are split on the pick, the consensus is that the Steelers need to invest in keeping the 39-year old Ben Roethlisberger healthy for the entire season.
