WindyCitySteel replied to a thread The trade that didn't happen in Steelers Talk

Aside: Are the Steelers preparing to blow it up if this "all in" season is a flop? Will be very interesting to see if Tomlin gets extended. ...

WindyCitySteel replied to a thread In a few hours, we'll know about Harris' 5th year option in Steelers Talk

I liked it, too, but in hindsight it was the 2021 draft. Should have built the OL. I learned my lesson by 2021, too bad Colbert and Tomlin did...

Another reason for the drop -- he's already 24. Not a big deal to me if he can play right away, get 6-7 years out of him and it's a great pick.

He honestly is a tough eval for the same reasons JJ McCarthy is -- how much success was based on knowing the play before the snap?
