Pittsburgh The Pittsburgh Steelers have filled almost all of their voids this offseason, but they still lack two players on their roster as free agency draws to a close and the NFL Draft approaches.
To finish off their 2024 roster, the Steelers are still in need of a slot cornerback and a centre. They claim to have Nate Herbig as a centre, but it doesn’t seem likely that they would trust a guy who doesn’t naturally play in that position with such a crucial role. It seems like Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin are looking for a sure thing now that Mason Cole has moved on, so they might try adding one early in the
Thus far, they have dispatched offensive coordinator Arthur Smith to Duke’s Pro Day to observe Graham Barton, and offensive line coach Pat Meyer to Oregon’s Pro Day to scout Jackson Powers-Johnson. The team is anticipated to host Zach Frazier of West Virginia for a local pre-draft visit after meeting with Sedrick Van Pran of Georgia at the NFL Combine.
Presumably, they select their starting centre in the first two rounds of the NFL Draft, if one were to speculate.
Next up is slot corner. Paradoxically, Tomlin described the slot as a “work in progress” when questioned about the centre position at the 2024 NFL Meetings, even though it may not be ideal.
It’s still a work in progress, you know. Of course, we still have Nate Herbig on the team, but we still have work to do, whether it’s in the draft or free agency. At that position, we’ll undoubtedly accomplish something,” Tomlin said to All Steelers. “But you can say the same thing about, you know, some other obvious positions where we might be short on the depth chart from a number standpoint.”
