The Pittsburgh Steelers are entering the 2024 NFL Draft, with the first round taking place later tonight, with a few positions of need to address early in the draft. The most pressing of them all is at center where the team has no obvious internal option to start the season following the release of Mason Cole in late February. Mel Kiper Jr. predicted this morning via ESPN that the Steelers will fill that need in round one with Duke OL Graham Barton.
“Barton, my top-ranked center, has been a hot name in my calls with execs and coaches over the past week,” Kiper wrote.
