STM Take

Tier 5 (#36) rookie to tier 8 (#66) sophomore to tier 6 (#43) third year shows real volatility for a top-15 pick, with no clear trajectory toward a top-20 LT outcome. The Georgia pedigree plus the position-switch context (RT rookie, LT thereafter) softens the rough sophomore season. The 2026 question is whether year four locks in tier 5 or better, or whether the Steelers explore moving him back to RT.

Jones came out of Georgia as the Pittsburgh Steelers' 1st-round pick (14th overall) in 2023 after starting 15 games for the Bulldogs' back-to-back national championship teams (2021, 2022). The Steelers traded up from #17 to #14 with the Patriots to secure him as the long-term LT. He started at RT as a rookie behind Dan Moore, kicked to LT in 2024 when Moore left in free agency, and has now started two full seasons as Pittsburgh's LT. His STTM arc tier 5 (#36) rookie to tier 8 (#66) sophomore to tier 6 (#43) third year is a volatile path.

Strengths

Georgia back-to-back national championship pedigree plus 14th overall draft slot gives him a high technical and pedigree foundation that few tier 6 OTs share.
Survived the 2024 tier 8 (#66) bottom and rebounded to tier 6 (#43) in 2025, showing the response capacity that separates structural starters from washouts.

Concerns

The 2024 tier 8 (#66) finish in his first full LT season is well below the curve for a 14th overall pick and raises real concerns about the position fit.
Steelers' offensive line continuity (multiple coordinator changes, line coach turnover) compresses Jones's development environment.

What to watch: Whether Pittsburgh keeps Jones at LT for the entire 2026 season or whether a midseason kick back to RT signals the front office has reset expectations.
