some do know what was offered. Stop assuming the worse of people dude. Your constant attacks on people who don't ball wash like you is getting sad. We didn't go the extra mile to get Brown. It's documented.

That's why he's on the old "ignore" list.

He apologized and I accepted. It’s cool. People are trying to talk football. And that’s great.

** I’m trying to do what Papillion ask and keep it about football. Except for 3 entities, I’ve taken everyone else off of ignore. Fresh start.

I"m talking about the overall approach of the team spending. You can't actually think your in on Orlando Brown and not offer serious money. That type of thinking in troubling. To say the least. You can get good linebackers in the 3rd/4th round. I"m not too concerned on our being able to fix that spot..........but I am concerned about the O-line and protecting my young QB and helping Najee.

I guess its time for you to go get a loan and buy your own team. Its just your perspective about the OL. I remember the same crap talk way back when we drafted MAx Starks. Oh, he isn't any good, blah blah... Some of you dont have the patience. Thank God the Steelers ownership does. You might just have to face the fact that Dan Moore may be the future LT protecting Pickett. He IS getting better as hes been playing, AND you can not say for sure that any new OT drafted this year can even beat him out. Lets see. A rookie vs someone who has 2 years of NFL experience so far.

ILB will be a priority in the 1st 3 picks. As will DT, and I believe CB or even WR too, depending on Free agency. Thinner on DL tbh. If Cam goes down.... We dont have much up front with Alualu and Tuitt gone.

Also, there are more ways to block and 'helping your Najee and QB' How about a TE that can block.

Darnell Washington is your guy. Everything I've read about him says he's good in pass protection and a beast in the running game, not mention a huge target and difficult to tackle. I wouldn't be sad if he was drafted at 2.32, I doubt he lasts to 1.49.

Steelers sign LB Elandon Roberts (2 years, $7 million): B+ Grade

The Steelers have had issues with their linebacking corps ever since Ryan Shazier suffered a horrific injury. They've signed two players to help the group thus far, obtaining Cole Holcomb and now Elandon Roberts. I gave the Steelers a B+ for signing Holcomb to a 3-year, $18 million contract. Roberts will earn the same grade despite being signed to a lesser price.

Whereas Holcomb is a three-down linebacker, Roberts is a two-down player who excels in run support. He also thrives as a blitzer, but struggles in coverage. That's fine, as the Steelers needed a player to help with the run defense, which has been a problem for some time. Roberts will help fill a void at a very reasonable price.

It's not so much that the Steelers figured out Lamar, it's that they almost never played him. In the ten games the Steelers and Ravens played since he entered the league, Lamar has only played in three.

I wonder if Brian Flores endorsed Roberts since he coached him in both New England and Miami

Would be interesting since Flores saw first hand what our strengths and weaknesses were last season
