Steelers Draft Day Blunder: Tackle Over Receiver

0:00It's April 24, I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News Today, football news powered by AI. The first round of the 2026 NFL Draft just wrapped, and the Pittsburgh Steelers got caught slipping hard. They were locked in on USC White receiver McCuy Limon, but the Philadelphia Eagles traded up and grabbed him right while the Steelers were chatting, with the guy on the phone. Pittsburgh had to pivot quick, settling for Arizona State Offensive Tackle, Max Ihanacore, instead of their top target. Getting the drafts host city made the whole mix-up sting even more for the black and gold faithful. Insiders and radio voices are roasting it like a fantasy football nightmare, where the timer expires and auto pick hands use some bench warmer you. Never wanted. Spot on, funny, but straight brutal for a team chasing receiver help. Steelers, GM Omar Khan, and head coach Mike Tomman hit the media spin cycle, acting like grabbing the tackle was the master plan all along, no sweat. Half-night strama fades, but Pittsburgh's building around that line now, eyes already
