Steelers, Ravens Nearly Swapped Draft Picks

0:00On April 30, Pittsburgh Steelers grabbed Edge-Rusher Max Ehonakor at the 21st pick in the NFL draft, but new reports say they were itching to trade up for a bigger target. According to Insider Jeremy Fowler, the team had eyes on players that caught Baltimore's attention too, like EOane and Miami's Rubin Bay in junior. Earlier this week, the Rams held steady at their spot and snagged quarterback Ty Simpson instead of dealing. Meanwhile, the Ravens at Pick-14 toyed with sliding back, with head coach Jesse Mentor loving EOane's tape, and Sadeek also in the mix. Fans and analysts are buzzing about the draft pressure on Baltimore, who dodged a bullet when Pittsburgh stayed put. That duress had everyone guessing on potential swaps that never materialized. Digging deeper, even if the Steelers had swung a deal with the Rams, Los Angeles likely still lands Simpson at 21 since only the Raiders took. A quarterback in the first round. In the end, it all shook out smooth.

1:00Every squad got their prize, and Ehonakor lets prime to bolster that Steelers pass Rusher right away.
