All of the players we selected were "Steelers types" and BPA who represented "incredibly great value" where we drafted them.
quite frankly, it's amazing they were all even still available. pretty much, every single one of them was the "steal of the draft".

As the old saying goes.. A broken clock is right twice a day. Lol
We landed a consensus top 5 draft class.. id be shocked to see anything lower published.
I think this is a very good draft. Several if my target players were taken and aside from out 3rd round pick, I think we nailed it.
The Steelers had a great draft in 2023. However better play calling / coaching is badly needed. Tomlin is 19-18-1 in last 38 games played and hasn't won a playoff game in six years and counting. Nor has hired anyone good to his coaching staff. Think about that. But Khan and Weidl appear to have better management on the salary cap and focused on the right free agents and draft needs.
The draft is like a box of chocolates. But it looks good so far. You never know how it's going to play out though.
The Kahn, Tomlin, Weidl Triumvirate looks good in their first outing IMO.
Everyone liked the Sweed/Mendenhall draft as well, just sayin.

That's right, like the song says it's just wishing and hoping. This looks great on paper but wait a year and we will see.Everyone liked the Sweed/Mendenhall draft as well, just sayin.

It would be nice to get a shut down corner out of this. Jones looks good but remember the last Jones we got from Georgia. It's all hype to get the hope up for all teams. Actually the answer will be 3 years from now.
If only games were played on paper this team looks like it could compete. But seriously it really comes down to the QB and what kind of 2nd year jump he can make. And Canada really has no excuses this year since there are no obvious holes on the offense. He's got all the pieces he needs.

It’s difficult to imagine the 2023 NFL Draft going much better for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They landed an explosive offensive tackle who can benefit the ground game from the get-go while honing his craft as a pass protector. Pittsburgh bolstered the CB room with two impact players, including legacy pick Joey Porter Jr. Multiple times, the Steelers took advantage of falling talent, most notably with Georgia TE Darnell Washington.
Overall Grade: A-
