A pick at 21 should absolutely not be a project. Maybe not all pro. But dont be giving up the farm for that. Plus they can stay put at Tackle with Dylan Cook and go Guard. Then take Tackle in the Third. They aren't winning a SB next year.
Schefter reports that Jones suffered setback regarding neck injury
- Thread starter Steeltime
- Start date
“Nothing has changed with Broderick,” Steelers general manager Omar Khan said. “He is still working to get back to where he needs to be. Nothing has changed there. No new information since we last spoke in March (at the NFL Annual Meeting).”
Apparently that report was a bunch of bullshit.

I really like the you tube stuff i seen on Monroe Freeling.. Im not a draft guru.
That said.. In order to get one of the tackles the steelers would need to move from 21 up to like 9 or 10, based on what i seen in an article from the site that shall not be named.
UFA OPTIONS AT LT that dont include the draft, since draft picks are far from a sure thing to be ready as rookies....
1. Taylor Decker -32- looking for a starting gig, Detroit wanted him to take a pay cut and he refused.. probably the best true starter
2. Cam Robinson -30- inconsistent the past two years but also has been getting traded in season a couple times so switching schemes a lot.. has 114 career starts
3. Kelvin Beachum -36- Arizona wants him back as their swing tackle, but he had 11 starts last year abd has 174 for his career... still solid at 36
4. DJ Humphreys -32- has 101 career starts.. a bit flakey with contracts the past couple years so his market is likely suppressed for things other than play
5. Calvin Anderson -30- he wouldnt start, He would just back up cook like last year...

Whether the report has any merit or not, I'm sick of Broderick Jones. Another bold move to trade up for a guy, just like Devin Bush, only to see him become a huge disappointment.
It's at least refreshing to know that McCarthy will be in that draft room on Thursday instead of Tomlin, and maybe if they do decide to put a package together, it's for a player who can step in and be a productive starter on day one. Not a "hoper" like Jones was.
