Grade the Steelers 1st-round selection of OT Broderick Jones

On Thursday night, the Pittsburgh Steelers new front office wasted no time being aggressive in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft. The Steelers worked a trade with the New England Patriots where they sent the No. 17 overall pick and the No.120 overall pick to get the No. 14 overall pick and be sure they could get Georgia offensive tackle Broderick Jones.

Jones is a raw, talented offensive tackle who immediately brings an edge in the run game. Down the stretch last season we saw the Steelers turn to a very run-heavy offense and Jones fits that perfectly.

Cast your vote and tell us what grade you give the Jones pick. For us, this is an easy A. Jones gives the Steelers the last piece of the puzzle along the offensive line and does it via a rookie instead of a massive free-agent contract to a left tackle.
