On April 29, Pittsburgh Steelers grabbed offensive tackle, Max Ehannocker, with the 21st pick in the 2026 NFL draft, filling A, big need up front. They desperately won help at left tackle, but this dude spend most of his Arizona state days locking down the right side, starting 31 of 32 games there. Steelers already got Choi Fautanu holding it down at right tackle last year, playing every snap in the first four games without giving up a single. Sack. Over at left tackle, Broderick Jones had a rocky start, allowing three sacks in week one, then improved before a neck injury sidelined him late. Season. Former Steelers QB Ben Raffisberger, sounded puzzled on his podcast, asking where exactly they planned to slide Aheon a Corrin. He doesn't want a first rounder sitting as a project for years. Save that for later picks and figures they need the guy contributing right away. Ehannocker says he's game to flip sides, trained all off season for left tackle after playing it in junior college.

Steelers kick off rookie mini-camp soon, with the season still four months out. Coaches got to figure out the best spot quick, whether right or left, to keep that line humming as training camp heats up.
