The Terrible Podcast — Max Iheanachor Selection, Eagles Snatching Makai Lemon, Steelers’ Day 2 Options & More

Season 16, Episode 125 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers selecting Arizona State OT Max Iheanachor with their first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. We discuss what the Steelers are getting in Iheanachor, his strengths and weaknesses, and how he probably fits positionally along the offensive line as a rookie.

Alex and I discuss what Steelers GM Omar Khan and HC Mike McCarthy both had to say about Iheanachor following the selection of the tackle in the first round. We also discuss whether OT Troy Fautanu will shift over to the left side at some point as well as OT Broderick Jones’ outlook ahead of the coming season.

The Steelers were poised to select WR Makai Lemon with their first-round selection and even had him on the phone prior to the Philadelphia Eagles trading ahead of them to snatch the USC product before Pittsburgh was officially on the clock. We discuss the overall process that led to Lemon being snaked after an Eagles trade with the Dallas Cowboys and how it makes Pittsburgh’s front office look bad overall.

The Steelers seemed to use most of their clock time before turning in their selection of Iheanachor so we discuss what may have led to that. We talk about the Steelers failing to trade up one spot for Lemon and then apparently not being able to trade back in the first round after the Eagles picked the wide receiver.

Alex and I discuss the importance of looking at what happened Thursday with separate views as it relates to Iheanachor and the overall process that led to him being the Steelers’ selection.

After recapping everything related to the Steelers’ first-round selection on Thursday night, Alex and I go over several possible and realistic Friday night targets for the Steelers in Rounds 2 and 3. We make sure to discuss how both of us would like to see the Steelers trade up on Friday night and go get a player or players they really want, especially after failing to land Lemon in the first round.

This 65-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above.
