Cowboys Get Last Laugh on Steelers' Mike McCarthy

The Steelers were on the phone with USC receiver Makai Lemon and believed he’d be there at No. 21 when the Eagles jumped to No. 20 after a rare Cowboys trade and took him. Pittsburgh pivoted to offensive tackle Max Iheanachor. The twist carried extra intrigue with Steelers coach Mike McCarthy’s past in Dallas and a season away in 2025 after his firing. With Lemon gone, Pittsburgh still needs a wideout, eyeing Germie Bernard, Denzel Boston and Chris Brazzell, with Skyler Bell and Zachariah Branch mentioned as third-round options on Day 2.
