It\u2019s been a long, busy offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They\u2019ve made plenty of moves, ranging from the start of the league year, all the way up to a couple of extensions and signings this week. Through it all, analyst Gregg Rosenthal has been impressed with the moves Omar Khan has made.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe secondary is all his. And we\u2019ll kinda see on that, but, you know it\u2019s Ramsey, and Brisker, and Jamel Dean. I bumped him maybe a few spots, just cause the Nick Herbig and Darnell Washington extensions over the last couple days are two of the most team-friendly, forward-thinking, best deals I\u2019ve seen. He might be even higher if it wasn\u2019t for the quarterback situation,\u201d Rosenthal said Friday on his NFL Daily podcast<\/a>. \u201cI actually think he\u2019s done an underrated job since he took over in Pittsburgh.\u201d<\/p>\n It hasn\u2019t all been sunshine and butterflies. Khan and the rest of the Steelers\u2019 brass was criticized plenty for the wait on Aaron Rodgers. One which stretched all the way up until the weekend before OTAs. And on draft night, the Steelers were jumped in somewhat embarrassing fashion<\/a> by Philadelphia for Makai Lemon, their primary target.<\/p>\n Aside from those, it\u2019s hard to find much to complain about with the moves Omar Khan has made this offseason. While the wait on Rodgers was a bit exhausting, Khan brought back a starter who did a solid job for the most part last year. And in the third round, he found good value on a potential quarterback of the future in Drew Allar, who has some tremendous upside if he can put it all together. Even after missing out on Lemon, Khan was aggressive enough to move up for Germie Bernard in the second round.<\/p>\n Khan was able to restock the secondary as well. Jamel Dean will help form what should be a quality cornerback tandem with Joey Porter Jr., and Khan added depth options in Asante Samuel Jr. and Daylen Everette. At safety, Jaquan Brisker and Darnell Savage form experienced depth. Plus, there\u2019s also the extensions handed out this week to Nick Herbig and Darnell Washington. The latter of which Rosenthal especially approves of<\/a>.<\/p>\n There\u2019s still some things on the docket, including potential extensions for Joey Porter Jr. and Keeanu Benton. But after a long offseason, Rosenthal is impressed with the moves Omar Khan was able to make.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s been a long, busy offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
