I think Khan deserves the lion's share of the credit here.
I think Tomlin has input. And he probably has a role selling acquisitions on coming to the Steelers.

Thanks Brothervad
I think I misread your initial post.
I do agree that there are people that think he didn't get a shot (or at least not a fair one).
And while I don't know how to define...
AFC playoffs will be very tough as long as all the best QBs are in the conf.
We're still probably a WC because the division should be really good.
But I also think we'll have a much better chance if the other team gets to 21.
I think it's not fair to say he didn't get a shot.
He starter 24 games.
It wasn't the best shot.
But he had more opportunity than someone like Rudolph, who appears to be similar in skill...
I think you can have a reasonable pick that doesn't work out.
Given the circumstances we were in when we made the pick, I think it was reasonable to take KP. I just don't think anyone is good at...
Yep.
We are probably doing the same with Wilson, Fields, and Queen.
There is something exciting about a shiny new toy.
And to be fair, I think Pickett probably is going to be a pretty good...
Worth noting that there was no interest in Weidl for GM positions this offseason. No interviews anyway.
You never know how quickly things change. But we thought Omar was going to get snatched up...
Jackson gets a new 1 year deal worth $4.75M.

Presumably, we knew about this when the trade was made....
If the number is low, I think it's OK.
Removes some of the pressure to take a WR in round 1 or 2 because maybe the drafted guy doesn't have to start day 1 (I don't think Austin is going to start...
I think this is probably true.
If they knew that this 3-way deal with them PHI and CHI was possible, maybe they would have done this anyway.
I think it's not great for morale to have the former...
I think Ramon (and then DK) said that Mason didn't ever get an offer from the Steelers. Ramon is Mason's friend, so my guess is that he wouldn't lie about that...but who knows if he's speculating or...
I don't think Wilson counts in the comp formula because he was cut.
But the Queen signing means that we won't get any high value comp pick I think.
Did we have anyone of value leave at the end...
My guess is that we'll score more than 5 points more than we did last season.
But we'll see.
I would have liked bringing Roman in too.
Good news is that Smith did good things with RT, who isn't exactly a star at QB.
They've also had pretty terrible injury luck in many of the last 4 seasons or so.
I think it's probably true that other teams were in conversation. Especially if he's talking about throughout the entire process and not just the end.
But I also think that the packages for him...
He doesn't have a no trade clause, right?
If Chi substantially reduced their compensation, they should fire the GM (who probably should have been fired after the Claypool trade).
But if he...
Interesting. Ramon said that the Steelers never gave him an offer.
I'd imagine they had conversations. And I would not have been at all surprised if we would have done something like the Mitch...
Not just CHI
The entire league that didn't want to pay more than we did.
Although the GM there is saying that he doesn't understand his job description and took our offer even though he could...
Sounds like we worked the Fields trade from both sides.
Eagles were maybe the only other team interested.
So we gave them Kenny.
Then it seems like we must have told the Bears "there's only...
No HC or GM at his proday though. We've been bucking historical trends this offseason, but usually either the GM or HC (often both) are at the proday of the 1st round pick.
I wouldn't be upset...
I think we'll let it ride without extending anyone.
I'd like to be able to extend fields to a high backup number. But since he played so much last year, there aren't many unlikely incentives we...
I hope we get something done now. But we'll see.
I think we'll get a low budget C. But maybe we think we already have a fallback plan if we can't get one of the top Cs in the draft?
But maybe we should bet the streak and say QB?
