The Pittsburgh Steelers spent their first-round pick this year on Derrick Harmon. That made a lot of sense considering their struggles along the defensive line. Their run defense got pushed around to end the 2024 season, including in a blow-out loss in the playoffs. While the Steelers had a lot of needs, improving their defensive line was near the top of their to-do list. Analyst Ryan Wilson believes that Harmon’s play up to this point has shown that the Steelers made the correct choice.
“Derrick Harmon, at the time, I didn’t love the pick,” Wilson said Wednesday on his With the First Pick podcast.
