? Josh Edwards of CBS Sports thinks the Steelers’ sixth-round selection of defensive lineman Logan Lee was their most questionable pick in the draft.
“Pittsburgh leaned into its physical identity with the selections of offensive linemen Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick and Zach Frazier.

“This team really has a chance to compete with Baltimore this year,” Baldinger said.
