The past several weeks have seen a loose consensus form around Georgia T Amarius Mims as the most likely target for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Even though they have a bigger hole at center, the 20th-overall selection better fits their need at tackle. They have Mims’ Georgia teammate, 2023 first-round pick Broderick Jones, already in tow, but they can upgrade Dan Moore Jr.
Mims is very inexperienced, however, with just eight starts in his college career, but that doesn’t put off Steve Palazzolo of Pro Football Focus. He said of the young prospect, “I’d be perfectly happy taking Amarius Mims in that 15-25 range”.
