Who's your staring offensive line 2021

[oneforthetoe]

So who do you think starts this year- and who are the key backups? I'm just going to say FA or draft pick when applicable.

L OT Banner - unless Zack is making it up, he is telling people Tomlin gave him the indication he was first in line. Advantage for Zack in that if he he plays well he could get himself a big payday in FA following next year. No doubt Zack is a better run blocker than AL but not sure if he is a LT.

OG Dotson - excited to see him progress

C FA ( BJ Finney if he is cut?). backed up by a draft pick. I'm not JC Hassenauer fan and I wonder if the Steelers really are.

OG Decastro - I think he still has game left, but either way he will be starting.

R OT Chuks

Key backups : I'm sure we will draft OT and an interior lineman (probably a center). I'm also sure they will bring in a few midrange offensive lineman and kick the tires. Kelvin Beechum?

Maybe the number one pick will be a OT or a center who can start from day one but I think the steelers will likely try and cobble things together first with what they have now and find in free agency.

Chuks - Dotson - Rookie/FA - DeCastro - Banner

Chuks - Dotson - Rookie/FA - DeCastro - Banner

I think chuks is the better chance at LT as well. But the Steelers seem to prefer Banner.

Starters: Chuk, Dotson, rookie/FA, DeCastro, Banner

I can see them bringing back Hawkins for the vet min, plus a vet min center(Finney?) and tackle(Beachum?)

I think it’ll be:

Okorafor - Dotson - rookie - DeCastro - Banner

But, Banner was on the radio yesterday and alluded to playing LT. Also, the rumor is out there that the Steelers will sign Austin Reiter. I don’t think Reiter is the long-term answer, but Colbert rarely goes into a draft with a glaring joke. Reiter is the starter going into camp, but by opening day, he’ll be the primary backup to the three interior line positions.

JC Okobi will be the backup. I haven't seen enough for him to be in contention to be a starter.

If we get a stud rookie center like 2010 Pouncey then he'll start right away. BJ Finney-Legursky could start the season at center and then the rookie takes over after a few games.
