As has become common under Omar Khan's tenure as GM, the draft board broke almost perfectly for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They needed a new power component in the running game, and Kaleb Johnson fell into their laps. Pittsburgh wanted a developmental quarterback, and Will Howard somehow lasted until the sixth round of the draft.
However, none of the value picks compare to what the Steelers got in Derrick Harmon.
While it wasn’t a complete surprise to see Harmon available when Pittsburgh was on the clock, there were plenty of rumors that he would go earlier.
