## Resource

The Steelers’ 2021 draft class is a cautionary tale, with only Pat Freiermuth surviving — but the real miss? Third-round pick Kendrick Green, who never panned out. Instead of grabbing elite interior linemen like Creed Humphrey (Pro Bowler, All-Pro) or Quinn Meinerz (back-to-back All-Pro), both available when Pittsburgh picked, they prioritized scheme fit. Humphrey and Meinerz dominated the Senior Bowl and ESPN’s top-10 guards/centers — while Green wasn’t even in the top 150. Two seasons, zero snaps in Year 2, and now we’re left wondering: what if they’d just gone for the talent? Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
