Ike Taylor Says Omar Khan ‘Controlled The Room” In First Draft As GM: ‘He Was Locked In’

We don’t often get a look at the inner-workings of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ war room during the draft. There are no behind-the-scenes looks like the Dallas Cowboys provide, watching them debate over their first-round pick, or a near play-by-play from the Las Vegas Raiders’ draft with Peter King allowed to report from it.

But Ike Taylor, in a new assistant scouting role for the team, got a firsthand view of what it was like. And he praised Omar Khan’s first draft as the team’s general manager. Not only for the outcomes, seven quality draft picks, but the presence Khan had inside those walls.
