Max I starting RT

Enjoy another season of watching poor safety play undermine the entire defense like last year.

If you want an even better example, look at the Lions last year. Their defense was good when they had their two stud safeties. When they lost them both to injuries, the defense fell apart.

Position bias like that leads to poor decisions. The value pick was Thieneman, who was consistently ranked among the top 20 prospects. Most rankings had Iheanachor going No. 30 or later. Sure, these are prosepects and things can always change, but it sure looks like the Steelers passed on a sure thing at a position of need for a reach.

 

The safety room is a major issue with Elliot hurt. I’m afraid the WR room could be as well although Khan did try to strengthen that at least.

 

Obviously on the Steelers board WR and OL were the top positions to address, if they waited until the second round I doubt Max would've been still on the board.

 

In the beginning I would say absolutely yes

But they didn’t draft Max to sit

All he is getting now is first team reps in practice

This certainly does not correlate to him starting game one

 

There were no OT taken in the second round. Interesting.

Athlon sport magazine had IMAX listed as a 2nd-3rd round prospect. That's why I was very surprised we took him. One magazine didn't list IMAX in their list of top 10 OT prospects to draft.
I'm curious to see how it turns out. We got it right if he ends up being a starting RT for a few years.

 

That was a good one!

 

Did you mistake Cook and Broderick pre-trade
