The Bulldog to Pennsylvania pipeline has hit its stride tonight. After the Eagles picked Jalen Carter to augment their Bulldog-heavy defense, the Pittsburgh Steelers once again dipped into Athens to pick tackle Broderick Jones with the #14 pick in the first round of tonight’s draft.
In Jones the Steelers get a versatile lineman with experience at both tackle positions. Jones is obviously more of a left tackle, with long arms and nimble feet. But an overlooked aspect of his game is his equal facility both blocking in line and getting out into space. Georgia ran a pretty diverse mix of zone and gap blocking schemes and Jones excelled in both.
