Pittsburgh Steelers har taget offensive tackle Max Iheanachor fra Arizona State som det 21. valg i årets NFL-draft. Valget kommer som direkte respons på de fortsatte spørgsmål omkring Broderick Jones’ nakkeskade, der har rejst tvivl om hans fremtidige spilletid.
I draftens første otte runder blev der ikke draftet en eneste offensive tackle. Siden da har syv tackles imidlertid været blandt de udvalgte. Selvom dette ikke er et spektakulært valg, er det en nødvendig og solid tilgang for at styrke Steelers’ angreb, især når talentpuljen på positionen muligvis er mere begrænset end forventet.
Spørgsmålet om en fremtidig quarterback bliver imidlertid stadig mere aktuelt for Pittsburgh. Det er endnu uvist, hvorvidt Steelers ville have valgt Ty Simpson, hvis han havde været tilgængelig på drafttidspunktet.
