Steelers' Draft Miss or Eagles' Steal?

0:00On April 30, Pittsburgh Steelers fans were fuming when the Philadelphia Eagles pulled off a sneaky trade to grab wide receiver McCoy Limon right. Before the Steelers pick at number 21 overall, Omar Khan and the team had been on the phone with Limon, but how he Roseman swooped in from Philly, snatching him away after the Steelers sat tight. With their league high 12 draft picks, Khan chose not to trade up, figuring they had plenty of shots, and instead landed Arizona State offensive tackle Max Ihanakor at that spot. It looked like a miss at first, especially since Limon was seen as a top 15 talent in the 2026 draft class who surprisingly fell. Into the 20s? Now, NFL know words Brian Baldinger is flipping the script, calling Ihanakor maybe the best tackle in the whole draft. He broke down the film and said the Eagles move might have done Pittsburgh a favor. Baldinger highlighted how Ihanakor's stone walled second overall college prospect, David Bailey last season. No one handled him better.

1:00Limon ranked around 29th on big boards, but this guy's got left tackle potential that could pay off big. Limon himself spilled that the Steelers called first, but Philly came through at the perfect moment he's hyped to be an eagle. Time will show who wins this draft battle, but the Steelers might have dashed a bullet and grabbed a gem instead.
