      This is usually a good indicator of where they are going primarily in the draft. Like the OL guys. Let's get this thing fixed and make it a strength.

          Is it? Who did we draft that we meet with last year? If anything its who did not meet with ( publicly ) that was drafted. Tomlin has dinners with lots of guys. Apparently he likes dinner.
          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. ***

            Isn't there also some rule that players from within a certain radius of your team don't count to the formal meetings (or maybe that's invites to your facility if that's different?)

              yes. But those are official visits I believe

              these combine meetings are different. Quick 15 min interviews the teams request at the combine.

              I think the official visit count is 30. But doesn’t count for anyone local.
              either living nearby or going to school nearby.
              I believe it’s within the boarders of Pennsylvania but it m not 100 % sure.
              these are more like formal interviews with the player(s) coming to Pittsburgh
