With Broderick Jones not living up to his draft slot and battling a major injury, the Steelers are choosing a first-round tackle for the third time in four years.
Pittsburgh brought in Arizona State’s Max Iheanachor at No. 21 overall. This gives Pittsburgh some Jones insurance and a possible long-term option opposite RT Troy Fautanu.
More to come.
12 picks this year. Draft in Pittsburgh. You’d think they’d have made a splash of some kind. Trade up. Get a stud. I hope this kid is a superstar for years to come but another year with a washed up QB.
I give up
Not a lot of studs to be had, but I get your sentiments. I don’t hate the pick. I just don’t love it either.
They could have jumped ahead of Baltimore for Ioane. They should have jumped ahead for the receiver the Eagles got.
Instead, they took another work in progress type. I actually do hate the pick but this is the Steelers way now.
Again, they have 12 picks. Do they plan on using them all? It’s mind blowing. And the draft was here.
Too raw to play immediately. Makes more sense if Jones is going to be forced to retire early. But more impactful players available, albeit at positions of lesser need. Thieneman of Oregon would have been my pick to solidify safety.
What a shock
What a surprise. Usually Baltimore jumps in front of us to get the pick but this year it was Philadelphia. We should have moved forward to get Lemon but Omar was sitting on his a%##<~# and now Lemon is gone. With all this capital and we sit
Should have traded down to accrue more 2027 picks to draft a QB next year
Omar botched this one.
Report is the Steelers had no clue eagles moved ahead of them and took the WR that Steelers HC was trying to call. Absolute clown show in Pittsburgh they didn’t get their guy, didn’t even know eagles had Moss’d them. And still no competent QB solution.
