Steelers Draft Max Iheanachor, Strengthen Tackle Line

0:00On April 24, Pittsburgh Steelers just snagged Arizona State right tackle Max Ihanakor with the 21st pick in the first round. This marks their third first round offensive tackle in four drafts under GM Omar Khan, straight doubling down on that line. The move comes right after left tackle, Broderick Jones hit a neck injury setback before the draft. Jones is wrapping up his rookie deal with an up and down run so far, and the team ain't expected to grab his fifth year option. If Jones ain't ready for week one, Ihanakor could slide right into the mix, even as a raw prospect from college right tackle. But here's the twist. Current right tackle Troy Fautanu was a college lefty who might flip sides to open the spot. Coach Mike Tomlin made it clear they'll start Ihanakor at tackle, skipping any guard talk for now. Khan says they've got options all over, especially with backups like Dylan Cook in the fold. Looking in today too, left guard still a whole but tackles their stacked deep for cam battles ahead.
