2012 OL depth Chart

LT Gilbert
LG Decastro
OC Pouncey
RG Foster
RT Colon

Not too shabby...much improved.

Top Backup at C/G = Legursky
Top backup at OT = Starks (Hopefully)
The Steelers are not done on the OL yet in this draft. If they again sign Starks, that would leave them with 7 lineman that are worth something. I see the Scotts being cut, as they have limited potential. Essex may just make the team because of his versatility (and the fact that he is finally in shape), but I really see a quality tackle who is similarly versatile being added in this draft (I'm praying for OT Adams in the second). The dream OL of the future would look like this:

LT Adams
LG Decastro
OC Pouncey
RG Colon
RT Gilbert

With Starks, Foster, and Legursky as the backups. Man, that would be sweet. I doubt they would start two rookies on the left side though, and Adams may need a year...I don't know that he falls that far, but we didn't think Decastro would either....

Pencil in Decastro at RG this year... Tomlin all but said that he will play on the right as he did at Stanford.

I'm actually excited to see what Ben is capable of doing behind this line they're developing.

RT Gilbert Well.... here's you Dream Team Rlon. What do you think of it? Personally I'm ecstatic. Ben now has a potential fortress of a wall in front of him and some bulldozers to make a path for the RB's.

I don't think Colon would make a very good LG....RT yes...I like the personnel now...people who have followed my posts know that I have been bitching about the OL for years. I thought Alan Faneca was overrated because he could not pass block. Colon has been overrated, as a tackle, as he appears to be a better pass blocker than he is because the guys who beat him aare the guys Ben can see, and he usually makes those guys miss, keeping down the sack results stat on Colon...making him look like an elite pass blocker when he never was one.
