Start Jackson Carman or D'Ante Smith early season until the rookie (say JC Latham as the round 1 pick) gets up to speed to start.
*The Steelers took 1st rounder Broderick Jones at pick 14 in 2023 and he was starting by week 5.
It could happen with a highly Drafted rookie in the mix...
Yah never know, Carman wasn't a bad run blocker at RT last preseason, he was just a terrible pass blocker.
I have gave up on D'Ante Smith though. He just seems to be a walking penalty and he plays soft to boot.
