Steelers GM Omar Khan's early draft calls aren't new

Pittsburgh Steelers General Manager Omar Khan found himself in an awkward situation after calling USC prospect Makai Lemon early, only to watch the Philadelphia Eagles trade up and take him.

NFL reports suggest this is not a new strategy for the team. Executives noted that Khan has previously called prospects early, such as defensive tackle Derrick Harmon in 2025, to lock them in. While the missed pick on Lemon is unfortunate, the tactic has worked in the past. forumteam.blog
