In early May the Pittsburgh Steelersquietly claimed (http://www.steelersdepot.com/2018/05/report-steelers-claim-ot-jake-rodgers-off-waivers/) tackle Jake Rodgers off waivers from the Houston Texans. That transaction flew so far under the radar that not only has the team still failed to list it, they didn’t even have the former seventh-round draft pick of the Atlanta Falcons listed on the roster of the official website until just a few weeks ago. However, with Steelers tackle Jerald Hawkins potentially now lost for the 2018 season to a quad injury that he suffered during the team’s Wednesday OTA practice, Rodgers now seemingly has a legitimate shot at making the 53-man roster this year.

I thought Feiler looked better. Think he makes it to the 53

I concur. I thought they were pretty high on Feiler last I heard.

I think they want Feiler to be a guard.

Does it not also help that we drafted a Tackle in the draft?

Yes it does. What will help even more is if he could actually play pretty well and shows that he's versatile enough to play both tackle and guard.

Munchak will have him ready as he did with Villanueva, Beachum, Finney, and Hubbard.

IN Munch we trust.
