Draft Analyst Makes The Case For Center As Steelers’ Top Priority In First Round

The only true, glaring hole the Pittsburgh Steelers have in the starting lineup is at center. Even at wide receiver, they have some players who have experience playing, like Van Jefferson. Yet many question the value of drafting a center in the first round, particularly as high as 20. That’s the decision the Steelers are facing, but The Athletic draft expert Nick Baumgardner makes the argument for that move.

“If Pittsburgh decides [Jackson] Powers-Johnson is ready to start right now and can be the franchise’s center of the future, then it should take him at “, he told Mike DeFabo.
