The Steelers move up to grab one of the draft's top-tier tackles. Omar Khan in his first year as GM picks the first RD1 tackle since 1996. With Kenny Pickett entering his sophomore season, the team has not been shy about going all in to pave the way for an improved running game to take the pressure off the young signal caller. Jones will compete with Dan Moore for the starting LT role immediately with the loser becoming a quality swing tackle.
Jones is an incredible athlete from a size and speed perspective. Paired with those physical gifts, he's
shown his skills on the highest stage possible as the staring LT for the CFB champion Dawgs. The Steelers like players on an ascending career arc, and with only 19 starts, Jones is just starting to tap into his potential.
