Draft Profile: Pittsburgh OT TJ Clemmings

I have seen a ton of reports that give a wide range for what round TJ Clemmings grades out. I've seen first round and third round. Naturally the first question would be, "Why would they take a tackle in the first round?". While taking a tackle in the first round doesn't make sense in the 2015 season, it could end up as being important for the 2016 season. With Nate Solder as an impending free agent and Sebastian Vollmer now on the wrong side of 30, there are long term issues to consider at the position.
