Dude, how could you miss so badly? :D

Actually, if you want to be more accurate, the magic came from outside sources. Getting Jones in the first came because the Pats called the Steelers and offered an opportunity at below market value -...

Funny enough, the best way to take money invested away from the D is to draft D. Going OL, C, WR in the first three rounds will continue to require more money on the D.

Sounds like something a troll would say. :D

Just kidding. all types of people, all types of opinions.

The Steelers waited long into the clock before submitting the pick. I would assume that they already knew that Fautanu was high up their board so that wasn't the delay. My thinking was that they were...

Sign me up.

Could be, or could also be that they already believe they have seen him enough, and used the visits elsewhere. Hoping we won't have to find out as hopefully one of Frazier or JPJ falls.

I just have a feeling that the team does not see the same gaping hole at CB that many fans do.

They traded DJ for a CB who was forced to be the #1 CB on a bad D with no pass rush. I think they...

I'm with you. I don't usually do the instant reaction to picks because I don't watch CFB enough to these players vs. others available.

I'm good with the idea of drafting a tackle in the first...

Exactly. Boyd played with Chase and Higgins, and was very successful. Will he be as successful seeing the kind of coverage he would as a #2? Much harder job.

I think there is no doubt that he is being looked at as a tackle. No way they went with a top tackle prospect who has never played C to play C at 20. They save that nonsense for the third round.

Although this is a major course change for the Steelers. They changed their plan to moving on from Kenny Pickett. This was as soon as the Wilson signing happened. Pickett was downgraded from...

Interesting that the Steelers hosted centers Barton, Frazier, JPJ, and Nourzad - but not Van Pran. Obviously they got an eyeful at the combine, senior bowl, and pro-day, but wondering if he fell out...

Do you think that this was a Tomlin pick and Weidl was not on board? I think this pick has Weidl written all over it.

A few random thoughts.

I don't think that this pick is surprising at all. The Steelers brought in 8 offensive tackles for visits - 4 who would have to be picked in the first (Fuaga, Mims, Guyton,...

Agreed. A lot of teams are waking up this morning and realizing how many good defensive players fell out of the first. I wouldn't be surprised if #51 sneaks up on us with one of the top two centers...

I just fired off my resume to Atlanta. :D

Just like any financial prospectus: past performance is not indicative of future expectations.

I agree. I think that drafting a decent QB and putting him in a great situation will get you further than drafting a top QB and playing him in a horrible situation.

I would love to see 2 DL, but I think it's a luxury the team doesn't have right now. I would have liked the Steelers to make a move on Heyward - either ask for a significant pay cut or the...

Amon Ra St Brown just signed a 4 year, $120M extension with the Lions...

I can't see the team trading up a second time for a LT. That would eliminate Alt and Fashanu. This year there are quite a few first round options at RT:

Latham
Fautanu (college LT)
Fuaga
Mims...

Sutton's cap hit if traded would be around $14M for 2024. Aiyuk would be just over $14M. Either would fit, and then the team would need to make another move or two. They will need money to sign the...

I'm pretty sure that Fields is coming in knowing that his option is not being picked up and this is a prove it year for him. He either has a chance to play and show his worth or hit the market in '25.

Assuming this is correct....he is Chuks Okorafor. If he was Jonathan Ogden he gets a quiet talk behind closed doors and he is back out there next Sunday. Chuks did not lose his job because he spoke...
