Draft reaction: Steelers select Broderick Jones No. 14 overall

Breaking down the Pittsburgh Steelers selection of Georgia OT Broderick Jones

The Pittsburgh Steelers had their eye on Georgia offensive tackle Broderick Jones and decided to move up a few spots with the Patriots to ensure they got him.

Jones is a back-to-back national champion and was one of the dominant players in a dominant Georgia offense, especially in the grind of the running game. He did not give up a single sack last season and showed a ton of growth at the position as opposed to his 2021 season when he started in just four games.

A big, long, and athletic player who projects to fit right into the Steelers offense. Pittsburgh wants to get back to running the football with Najee Harris, and Jones is the best run-blocking tackle available. He should start right away at left tackle and will ensure Kenny Pickett stays upright for the 2023 season and beyond.
