    This is a below average draft in general.

    Don't get me wrong, the depth is still good at tackle but this year top 5 to be are a weaker than average lot.
    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.

    *** Mike Tomlin is the best coach since the AFL- NFL merger that has not won a playoff game in 8 seasons or more. It's either him or Lewis. ***

          these are the 5 names I see most often in mock drafts:

          Evan Neal OT | Alabama
          Kayvon Thibodeaux EDGE | Oregon
          Aidan Hutchinson EDGE | Michigan
          Ikem Ekwonu OT | NC State
          Kyle Hamilton S | Notre Dame

              That's a weak top 5. I can't see any team trading up for this year top 5. The only player worth the pic of top 5 to me is Hutchinson. Neal the top pick? No way and Safety's rarely go in the top 5.

                  This draft I’ll read about the next day.

                      you're right, this draft is weak at the top.

                      picks 6-10 might turn out to be just as good.

                          Weak draft class but I bet we are able to grab great ones with every pick…
                          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?

                              I bet 3-4 QBs go in the top 10. I think teams will end up trading up for QBs.

                                      I hope we aren't one of them.

                                          One of the main mocks I've seen has us going edge rusher in the 1st...again? You've got to be kidding me. If they do that, geez. We better go OL, QB, WR or DL. Almost anything but edge.

                                                  We will undoubtedly take a 3rd rounder who the team had a 1st round grade on...and half the fans will buy it. Remember Jeremy Staat? 1st round grade, not even a 7th round talent.

                                                          We aren't drafting in the top 5 so what's it matter?
