    Thanks, Easter Bunny. Bawk, bawk!!!
    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

    Weird things happen in every draft.

    The only picks that will definitely be gone before we pick are...
    Luck
    Griffin
    Kalil
    Claiborne
    Blackmon
    Richardson

    After that, almost anyone could fall into our range. Certainly it looks like guys like Kuechly and DeCastro will be long gone (especially considering their character and polished skill set). But, I won't be shocked when some franchises reach for players they fall in love with and allow a good player to slide down to us or into a range we can trade into. Hopefully, it works out that way.
    Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.

    I believe Cordy Glenn will be available at 24 unless Bengals pick him at 21.
    Excellent reasoning- supply & demand will dictate the drafting of various players. Here's something to ponder though- Cordy Glenn could be viewed as a RT considering the lack of quality at OT in this draft. If that is the case- is he the 4th best OT? Does he go before Adams or Martin as an OT? And if Glenn gets looked at as an OT, does that bump up the value of the #3 OG- Kevin Zeitler?
    The people that are trying to make the world worse never take a day off, why should I?

    Light up the darkness.

    2024 Draft
    1. Kool-Aid McKinstry CB
    2. Sedrick Van Pran-Grainger OC
    3. Malachi Corley WR
    3. Maason Smith DT
    4. Matt Goncalves OT
    6. Trevin Wallace ILB
    7. AJ Barner TE

    Weird things do happen! For every Pittsburgh Steelers, there is a KC, Buffalo, Jacksonville & Oakland overdrafting & selecting reach players & letting quality guys slide down the draft order.

    David DeCastro has about as much of a chance of dropping to the Steelers at #24 as Limas Sweed did of staying healthy.

    Unfortunately, we do not have Oakland there this year to make a horrible pick that sends better picks down to us...after all of their stupid trades and supplementary draft selections, all that they had left was a 5th and a 6th round picks until they got comp picks at the end of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th.

    Why is it so unreasonable? It would absolutely not be shocking if DeCastro was available at #24...

    You're kidding right?
    You've seen the guy play, you've read the scouting reports, you've seen how he carries himself... and there are 23 teams ahead of us who get paid to evaluate all that we see and more. And you're saying you wouldn't be shocked to see this guy fall into our lap at 24?

    I'd faint.

    It may be less likely now because the Bengals just signed a CB.
