Steelers Offensive Line: Who stays and who goes

[Nolrog]

Just hoping the Steelers can draft a left tackle or left guard with their #1 pick and hope to build from there.

Our #1 isn't high enough to get the quality we would like. And it would cost us a ton to move up to where we'd need to be.

The first pick, is most likely going to be defense, possibly nose tackle unless a monster LB or S falls to us. There is still good quality in the 2nd round for OLine (though our 2nd round picks have been hit and miss.)

Thankfully he's got 7 months until training camp starts now, it will be cutting it close for a return to action by the start of the season.

7 months is not enough time. It's an 8ish month recoverly, but that would be without much off-season preparation and zero leg work or conditioning. Once he is ready, he'll be so far out of shape that it will take ages to get back to where he needs to be. I'll be surprised if he's ready for next year at all.

We need a guard.
