Steelers Caught Unprepared by Eagles Trade for Makai Lemon | Max Iheanachor Brings Athleticism to OL

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Arizona State offensive tackle Max Iheanachor with their first round pick of the NFL Draft. But that only happened after the Philadelphia Eagles caught them woefully unprepared with their trade up to get USC receiver Makai Lemon. Christopher Carter gives his reaction to how poorly Omar Khan played the situation, where he thought the Steelers were getting their top target and instead got played by the Dallas Cowboys and the Eagles. How could the Steelers have better handled their first round? And could this be a huge mistake? Chris also breaks down the upside of drafting Iheanachor, an athletic offensive tackle who could have a bright future in the NFL. But where will he fit on the Steelers' offensive line? Will he replace Broderick Jones at left tackle even though Iheanachor was exclusively a right tackle? Will he be the final piece to complete the Steelers' offensive line of the future? And who are the top players left for the Steelers to target in the second and third rounds?
