    Can he play corner?
    How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?

    This is the type of pick the intrigues me. A small school star who tested out very well and played well at the shire bowl. If he went to a power 5 conference or played at the senior bowl he could have been drafted higher. We may have a something here.

    Can the Steelers carry three rookie offense lineman on the roster? A fair question.
    Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.

    Our 2024 draft looks to be grade A. Our 2023 draft is an A. The roster is talented, but Mike Tomlin is still the head coach.

    This is a really point Joel.




    In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

    TCFCLTC-
    The Coach Formerly Considered Less Than Cowher

    I could not be happier. With what was left. He was my guy. The Lines have depth everywhere. Big time. Glad they made this pick.

    Why the concern? They have two top 30 corners in the league. Arguably two top 15. And a couple late additions balled out for them and will play nickel. Not to mention three safeties at times.

    I hope so.

    Every team needs ol, so even his that aren't great get snapped up of practice squads.

    Wonder if we try to flip an ol for picks? Herbig maybe?

    If we had a backup T we trust, I could see trading Moore too. Hard to pay that performance escalator to a guy on the bench. I think that's why we traded Dotson instead of keeping him for depth.

    Im doubtful thats why we traded Dotson.. because he was still on his rookie deal. Im thinking it was more of a "Malcontent" situation. Chuks certainly did well for himself last year though.. making 10 mill to ride the pine...

    And back to Dotson.. its concerning that he goes to the Rams.. and becomes one of the best guards in the league. I wish we could bring back our old O-line coach..

    Tomlin ain't perfect. He makes some mistakes and Dotson was one of them.
