One of the worst kept secrets about the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Draft needs was that they desperately needed to add depth to their tight end position. With only Vance McDonald and Xavier Grimble on the roster, a quality tight end who could potentially play right away was darn near a must. The Steelers did eventually find a tight end but I’m struggling with the guy they chose.
What struck me almost immediately was that the selection of Michigan’s Zach Gentry appeared to be an overwhelming effort to replace Jesse James who departed in free agency to Detroit. At 6’8″ tall, Gentry is two inches taller than James but to be honest, the comparisons end there.
