I'm not sure but how many draft picks have the Steelers used on offensive linemen in the last 3 years? Seems like we fish in that pond a lot. We need to see some of those picks turn out well. This offensive line has been an issue for a while. So we'll see how this guy does. He was rated like the 7th overall tackle in the draft. You can look at ratings anyway you want but I'm not convinced at this point. So we'll see how it goes

All teams fish in that pond a lot. Out of the 11 starting positions on offense, there are at least 5 offensive linemen on the field for every play. That means a lot of lines go in that pond from everyone, and the best ones go very quickly. If you wait too long to cast a line, the best are gone quickly.

Historically, offensive linemen account for around 20% of all first-round selections over multi-year stretches, representing one of the highest absolute draft allocations by position group.

Given, no, but a lot more likely than Iheanachor. He wasn't just a better fit for the team's needs. He was a far safer bet while still offering a high ceiling.

That is an absolute 100% maybe.
