One of the hardest parts of team building is balancing the act of mitigating your weaknesses while building upon your strengths. 

And for the Pittsburgh Steelers, center is a weakness, while WR is a strength. 

So with two fourth-round picks, here's a proposal to bolster both:

Virginia WR Malik Washington

Washington is on the smaller side at 5-8 and 192 pounds, but don't tell that to his catch radius, as he can extend away from his frame and make acrobatic catches look commonplace. 

Placing him in the middle as a slot WR with Diontae Johnson and George Pickens on the outside could open up Pittsburgh's offense in a variety of ways.

Bebe is a sturdy offensive lineman who has the ability to play up and down the line but is best suited along the interior. With an ideal buld for center (6-4, 335) it will take time for him to learn how to snap consistently, but he has the plus-level traits to be an effective blocker and would serve well as a day there addition.
