After getting ‘Big Ben’ back for one last ride with a restructured contract, the Steelers brass tried to put together the best possible roser to compete in 2021. They re-signed a few of their own players but more importantly, they landed Jason Peters to protect Roethlisberger’s blindside for his last ride. As they turn to the draft, Pittsburgh usually tries to fill many of their holes ahead of time. This season, due to salary cap impingements, the team will need to fix their run game. That is why after their main target (Najee Harris) is off the board, a handful of picks are then traded, in order to move back and acquire additional selections, including the consolation prize of Williams. They then turned their attention to securing a playmaker in the secondary with Molden after losing standout Mike Hilton to the Packers in free agency. The theme during their mid-round selections focused on unique athletic profiled players such as Smith, who can sit behind Peters for a year before taking over at left tackle. Eskridge brings a playmaking ability outside, inside and also in the return game. Tremble fits perfectly into what they ask of their tight ends from a blocking standpoint. The biggest steal is Green, who has experience playing all positions of the interior offensive line. He fits well with what they want out of the pivot and gets a chance to come in and take over Maurkice Pouncey’s (retirement) starting role.
