    What, who got the player they wanted???

    Both Lemon and the Eagles have confirmed that Khan was on the phone with Lemon telling him he was going to be the Steelers pick at 21, when the Eagles made the trade with Dallas to move up.

    I am pretty sure the player the Steelers wanted was MAKAI LEMON!!!

    Reaching in the 1st round - this always goes well.

    What were Steelers doing sitting round and waiting with a ton of picks?

    So we sat still and got a 2nd round project tackle with age questions hanging over him, and were going tio be playing musical chairs again at tackle.

    :facepalm:

    Eagles made Khan look a complete fool, on the phone with Lemon while Philly was still on the clock.

    Khan is hugely overrated

    :facepalm:

    Thats utterly embarrassing for khan if that actually happened. You can’t take anything for granted until you’re on the clock.

    I don’t know anything about Iheanachor but everything I’m reading screams project so we are likely looking at Fautanu at RT and Cook at LT on day 1 with Iheanachor as the swing tackle / extra lineman.

    I am happy enough with the pick. It seems he has the potential to be a long term starter. Hopefully it works out.
