Searching for the Steelers last third-round draft pick to be a Week 1 starter their rookie season

On the most recent Steelers Stat Geek podcast, I dove into the topic of trying to find the last Pittsburgh Steelers third-round draft pick to be a Week 1 starter their rookie season. The exact criteria I was looking for was for a player who won their starting job the very first week and continued starting for the majority or the entirety of their rookie year. While there are some positions where players may not have been starters based on formations to start the game, I also attempted to look at the snap accounts to see how much playing time a player received.
