It didn’t take long in the second round (pick 55) for some potential Steelers targets to come off the board. First Landon Dickerson went to Philadelphia then four tackles came were selected including Tevin Jenkins and Liam Eichenberg. Then it was the defensive backs including one of my favorites Richie Grant and Asante Samuel, Jr.
At pick 55 though there were options including OT Jalen Mayfield, OC Quinn Meinerz and OC Creed Humphrey to continue improving the run game. There were several ways they could have gone and the choice was TE Pat Freiermuth from Penn State.
Tight end was a positon of need with the retirement of Vance McDonald and Freiermuth was clearly on the Steelers radar.
