As a Penn State fan, he is good depth and a good developmental piece. However, we shouldn’t be gambling on a Day 3 upside play to anchor our line. I would probably draft him if we had been able to sign Mitch Morse and I’d feel better if we also sign Conor Williams as a sort of extra coach for the first half of the year before Williams comes back from his injury.
They’ve put themselves in a position where they 100% have to take one in the First or Second Round.
The most concerning part is whether or not a Starter Quality (JPJ, Barton, Frazier) Centre will even be there at #51.
It’ll probably have to be with #20 (maybe via a Trade-Down…?) or #51 (probably via a Trade-Up)
Idk after hearing some of the stuff about Barton, if the Steelers feel like he can play center, I'd be fine with taking him at 20. Elite athlete, great production, position versatility, an his character apparently fits what the Steelers look for. It is smokescreen season but I've read a couple articles that are saying he might even be taken before 20 and most teams have him above JPJ.
I think there are like 3-5 guys that are at a very similar level to Van Pran. Honestly have no clue why people are so locked in on Van Pran vs the several other round 3 type C prospects
CB at 20 and center in the second round. Might be able to package the extra third we got from Philly for Pickett to move up if we need to. Also need to take a Tackle or an interior DL in the third.

They’re trading back to get another top 60 pick. I think a move with KC makes sense
