He was near all pro level when he was playing and he'd provide us with some depth at ILB. Just spit balling but tell me what you guys think.
    Multiple substance abuse suspensions.

    Multiple domestic violence incidents.

    Hasn't set foot on a football field in the last 3 seasons.

    Hard pass. HARD.
    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.

        Yeah, I suppose that was the case.

        If Zach Cunningham or Obi Melifonwu or Chidobe Awuzie or Josh Jones were still on the board at 62, and we picked Juju over them, I would likely be complaining about the pick myself (unfortunately, they all came off the board within the 6 pick preceding ours...personally I would have been trying to trade up into the mid-50's to guarantee myself Zach or Obi, but that's just me).

        Looking at who was taken in the dozen or so picks after we took JJSS, the only name I was targeting would have been Jordan Willis, but we just addressed OLB at #30 with T.J. Watt.

        Seems to me that Smith-Schuster was just flat out the best player available at that time, so he was the pick.
        I agree, I would of loved to trade up and taken any of those players. Ju-Ju sounds like he is going to be a good player though, I wonder if we are going to go into more of a spread offense with Brown, Bryant, Eli, and Ju not to mention Bell...one tight end.

            Well, if you go with Brown, Bryant, Eli, Juju, and Bell, you can't also have a TE. That would be 12 men.

                If we run wildcat we could roll with that line up.
                Trolls are people too.
