He's 5'11, and not a TE or an RB.   Let's say he is a good fullback ( that remins to be seen ) he's going to seldom see the field.  With his lack of speed I don't see him adding much to special teams either.  Just why waste a pick?  There are plenty of rookie Fullback free agents.  I think a S or OL player would make a better pick.

 The Heyward pick. Why?Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.
 
 Our 2024 draft looks to be grade A. Our 2023 draft is an A. The roster is talented, but Mike Tomlin is still the head coach.
 
 *** Mike Tomlin is the best coach since the AFL- NFL merger that has not won a playoff game in 8 seasons or more. It's either him or Lewis. ***Tags: None

 He'll be a special teamer.
 
 And an emergency couple of other things.
 
 But mostly a ST guy on all 4 teams.

 He's probably the Kalen Ballage replacement as far as the roster spot goes. Competent runner, competent receiver, competent STer. Not a bad guy to have at the bottom of your RB depth chart in theory.
 
 I suppose they could cut Derek Watt but I'd be surprised.Comment

 I assume the Steelers drafted him because of his versatility at the collegiate level. Only time will tell what position he will play at the professional level.Comment
