Steelers beat writer gives insight on the Dan Moore Jr. situation
The Pittsburgh Steelers have turned over a huge number of players this offseason in an attempt to get this team on the winning track in the playoffs. One player who fans debate over a great deal is starting left tackle Dan Moore Jr. Many fans think replacing him is a top priority in the 2024 NFL draft but beat writer Dejan Kovacevic of DK Pittsburgh Sports offered up a counterpoint that many fans won’t like to hear.
The Steelers appreciate Dan Moore so much more than anyone outside their South Side walls. Don’t be anywhere near sure they’re aiming to replace him. Their priority on the offensive line’s at center and, within that, it’ll now shift to the NFL Draft.
Many NFL draft pundits have been mocking an offensive tackle like Georgia’s Amarius Mims to the Steelers in the first round but we’ve stuck to our guns that there are far greater needs like center and wide receiver. The Steelers released Chuks Okorafor which was the right move but just reinforced the notion that the Steelers are committed to Moore, at least for the upcoming season.
