The Pittsburgh Steelers have done well to give themselves a lot of flexibility during April’s NFL Draft. With 12 picks and five of them coming in the first three rounds, they’ve got plenty of ammunition to work with. And through free agency, Pittsburgh did well to reduce its needs and enter the draft without feeling any desperation.

However, there is still one spot that might need more help than the rest. In the first round, draft expert Todd McShay thinks it would make a lot of sense to shore up the left side of the offensive line.

“I think they need early on, to get a guard, tackle, I think they need a left guard, and I think there’s more questions than answers, maybe, at left tackle,” McShay said on his podcast recently. “I think offensive line makes the most sense, where they pick at 21.”

The Steelers didn’t do much to address the offensive line in free agency. With Zach Frazier, Mason McCormick and Troy Fautanu, the center and the right side of the line are secured. But on the left side, not so much.

Spencer Anderson is someone the Steelers are said to be content with starting, but that’s a little bit of a risk. And with Broderick Jones’ injury, plus a very small (but impressive) sample size from Dylan Cook, left tackle is a little uncertain as well. Not a great position to be in while potentially starting a 42-year old quarterback.

At left guard, the clear option for the Steelers in the draft would be Olaivavega Ioane. But it’s looking increasingly unlikely he’ll be available at the 21st pick, so the Steelers might have to move up for him. At left tackle, Pittsburgh has a variety of options. Some even wonder if the Steelers might draft a right tackle and move Fautanu to the left side.

Whenever it happens, the Steelers should add some depth on the line. But they also need a receiver, which McShay thinks could come on Day 2.

“I also think they could use a slot receiver,” McShay said. “Another receiver makes sense. I’m not saying in the first round, but maybe in the second or third.”

Wide receiver is a very deep position in this class. Some still think it’s one the Steelers should search for in the first round. But in the second and third rounds, there’s going to be plenty of options available as well. If Pittsburgh really likes a prospect at another position of need in the first round, it would make sense to wait on a receiver until Day 2.

With three third-round picks, the Steelers can be patient. Safety and the defensive line are two other spots McShay could see the Steelers looking at in the second and third rounds.

“Safety is a position I think they will target. Again, not round one,” McShay said. “And I think probably somewhere on Day 2 you’re gonna see an interior defensive lineman.”

The Steelers do have some depth at both of these positions. But they certainly could stand to add more. With players like DeShon Elliott in the secondary and Derrick Harmon in the trenches, both of whom missed time last year, these are two spots the Steelers can afford to keep looking at. Overall, there are plenty of positions the Steelers will consider with their 12 draft picks. McShay believes receiver, safety, and the offensive and defensive lines might be the first to come off the board
