It's become a yearly tradition to question the value and potential productivity of the Steelers' offensive line, an annual wringing of hands that has been going on for a decade or longer.

Every offseason seems to be the same in this regard, with the big men in the trenches being pointed out as a team weakness. The microscope placed upon them is heightened all the more because of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, and the obvious need to protect the franchise player with the $102 million contract.

At this time last year, Steeler Nation had a bit more reason than usual for optimism after the team spent their first two draft picks on highly regarded linemen. Guard David DeCastro of Stanford was selected in the first round while Ohio State tackle Mike Adams was chosen in the second. They were to join an existing group that included All-Pro center Maurkice Pouncey and 2011 second round draft pick tackle Marcus Gilbert.
