Steeler OL Update

With Kemo's re-signing, the projected 2009 OL looks like this:

Starks - Kemo - Hartwig - ? - Colon

Some fans would like to see Colon move to guard, which might happen if they Steelers can get a quality RT in the draft.  Or, if not, the Steelers could draft an interior lineman.  Stapleton is a good backup, but not exactly what is needed for a starter.

ESPN's McShay has the Steelers taking Eben Britton at 32.  Here is a sampling of post-combine rd 1 picks for the Steelers:

McShay - Eben Britton (OT), Arizona
Rob Rang, Prisco and Chad Reuter (CBS) - Eben Britton
Walter Football - Duke Robinson (G), Oklahoma

Most of the other mock drafts have the Steelers taking Eben Britton also.  If Britton is gone, the Steelers can look at Alex Mack or Robinson for the interior.  Or thay can surprise everyone and take a skill position player.
