In Omar Khan's first year as the Pittsburgh Steelers GM, he impressed with his draft picks. However, this year, luck might not be on their side. In an exercise outlining worst-case scenarios for each team's draft, Bleacher Report's Brad Gagnon envisions a challenging situation for the Steelers in the first round.

The primary concern highlighted is the possibility of a run on top offensive linemen before the Steelers' turn at the No. 20 spot. Gagnon notes that offensive line is an area where virtually every team is seeking help, making it a highly contested position. It is suggested that if several top offensive linemen, including Olu Fashanu, JC Latham, Troy Fautanu, Taliese Fuaga, Amarius Mims, and Jackson Powers-Johnson, are already off the board, Pittsburgh could face limited options.

One team that could potentially hinder the Steelers' plans is the Cincinnati Bengals, who hold the No. 18 pick. The Bengals have shown interest in top tackles and could snatch one of Pittsburgh's targets. The article highlights the possibility of the Bengals selecting Georgia OT Amarius Mims, who possesses an imposing physique at 6076, 340 pounds, with 36 1/8-inch arms.

If the Steelers find themselves in a position where their desired offensive linemen are unavailable, they might be forced to consider other options. Brad Gagnon suggests they could look at cornerbacks such as Nate Wiggins from Clemson and Terrion Arnold from Alabama, whose projected positions could see them fall to the Steelers' pick. Iowa's Cooper DeJean and Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell are also mentioned as potential cornerbacks of interest.

Ultimately, the Steelers face a difficult decision in the first round. They need to determine whether to prioritize tackle or center positions. The team has a significant need at center, but there might be more talented options and better positional value at tackle, including the possibility of moving Broderick Jones to the left side.

The choice made by the Steelers with the No. 20 pick will set the tone for the rest of their draft. The uncertainty surrounding this decision adds an element of unpredictability to Night 1 of the NFL Draft. With the future of their offensive line hanging in the balance, all eyes will be on the Steelers as they navigate the draft's first round.
