The Steelers recently signed B.J. Finney this offseason, but their visits show that center will still be addressed in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Even before Maurkice Pouncey retired, center was one of the positions most in need of an upgrade. Pouncey had struggled each of the past two seasons, and his play had really dropped off. In a way, his retirement was fortunate for the Steelers as it saved them some money and will allow them to go in a different direction in 2021.
