With the 2023 NFL season winding down, the focus will soon shift to free agency and the NFL draft. Last year was general manager Omar Kahn’s first draft in charge of selecting players with assistant GM Andy Weidl being in charge of setting the draft board along with the scouting staff. The early returns on their first draft in charge have been extremely promising with five of the seven drafted players making meaningful contributions in their rookie season and four of those five getting at least several starts.
Last season, the Steelers were in need of some offensive linemen after a shaky performance from the unit in 2022 and they addressed the future of the tackle position with the drafting of OT Broderick Jones out of Georgia.
