The Pittsburgh Steelers used their first of two sixth-round draft picks earlier today to select L.T. Walton, a 6’4”, 320 lbs. interior defender who projects as a five-tech defensive end for the Steelers’ defensive scheme.
Pittsburgh certainly wanted to add another young body to the defensive line rotation this year, and seemed to find a player with good upside late in the draft, as they often do, but my favorite part of this pick is that it gave defensive line coach John Mitchell the chance to sit in front of the microphone and talk about his group.
