WCG Mock Draft - Pittsburgh Steelers

CURRENT SELECTION
Branden Albert
Offensive Guard
University of Virginia
ANALYSIS: The Steelers biggest weakness last year was their offensive line. With a team that relies so much on the run, even though they no longer need to with the emergence of Big Ben Rothlisberger into a Pro-Bowl QB, they still need to protect him and Willie Parker. This is also important with the number of concussions that Big Ben has had in his young career.

That said, the Steelers' biggest loss this offseason was Alan Faneca to the Jets. Branden Albert will fill this need, plus he told any scout who would listen that he can play tackle too (another need for the Steelers). However, I think that regardless of whether or not they try to move him this is their most pressing need and they will address it with this pick. There other needs; OT and DE could be addressed later in the draft.
