damn good signing.

Good chance we draft a T early. Problem is I don't believe any T in this draft would start week 1 for us unless there was an injury. Missing out on Orlando Brown hurt a bit as he would have really helped this team.
Don't see us trading for a T although with the new regime who knows.Comment

Pff? You mean the clowns who had Minkahs grade at 59.8 in 2021?
Not only would that make Minkah among THE WORST SAFETIES IN THE LEAGUE, he “apparently” was the worst player in the Steeler secondary.
Including old man Haden and average Edmonds. Not only was he graded lower than Edmonds, he graded lower than Edmonds EVER graded, even the version this entire forum thought was a bust.
Even though Minkah LEAD THE LEAGUE in tackles among secondary players. Yes that happened because of horrible linebacker play. But he had WAY MORE than Edmonds…the guy who IS SUPPOSED to be the tackler.
My point? Pff ain’t the end all be all people think it is.
Daniels graded a 66.9? Apparently he is WAY BETTER than Minkah was this time last year when we made him the highest paid safety in NFL history.
I’d take that.

But ... but ... but ...
according to some of the "experts" on this board, Steelers were just fine at OL after last season
the unit was starting to gel, it was becoming a strength of the team as it was, and there was no need to add any talent to it
I'm sure glad those who run the team didn't have that kind of take on things
solid moves in FA to add talent at OG
now let's upgrade at OT, pleaseLast edited by Buzz; 03-19-2023, 04:42 PM.Comment

Link please?
There is a difference between the fact that the line improved and DID start to jell, which is FACT and the suggestion we have no need to add talent.
I would also suggest that there is truth in the statement, “our line is not the absolute horror show some would think it is.”
Neverthess, I would suggest that nobody sees our line as so great it cannot use an infusion of talent.Last edited by Captain Lemming; 03-19-2023, 04:51 PM.sigpic

As I said, I recall the idea that our line is not as bad as people think, which I believe YOU interpret as meaning more than is actually said.
As an example, I don’t believe ANYBODY would be surprised by our moves OR if we take a tackle 17 if one drops.
I for example LUV me some cornerback. I anticipate that as our first pick. But if a tackle that is worth pick 17 (no reaching for one) falls and is there I think we snap him up, and I’d be elated. I just think the top tier will be gone and corner is more likely.
But I am not a guy constantly whining about the OT position so if you see ME excited if we take one you’d consider me inconsistent.
Well not now I guess.

From posters on this board, late in or following this past season and before FA:
“On the flip side, perhaps you and everyone else who thinks we need to replace OLinemen at this point are the delusional ones.
Rooney knows his team and what he's talking about. I understand why they are keeping Canada, even though I wish he was gone like many feel.
But to replace other linemen who have played an entire season together now and some for 2 years, is to me, preposterous and illogical. It would be starting all over again, and setting them back. Move forward with this starting 5, and let them get better together. We won't see any OL taken with the 1st 3 picks. Write it down.”
--
“OL woes is soo last season... Your fear is that the Steelers will retain something that's working??? The Steelers proved that what they did Sunday night IS the way the game is... What a moronic thing to say...”
--
“I would be willing to bet that the Steelers don't see the offensive line as an urgent need like many Steeler fans believe. The offensive line has quietly been improving game after game”
--
“Clearly, this Oline was getting it done. And is young. Of course they are going to get better. If a stud falls into their lap, fine. But zero desperation.”Comment

Not sure if this is at me.
I have said that I think the FO probably doesn't think it's as big a need as we do.
Particularly given the age and contract years remaining on the line.
Dotson was the only guy who expires at the end of this year. And we have multiple OGs who will be fighting for that spot.
I think we'll take a T if one of the top 3 fall. But I don't think we'll reach for one if they don't.Comment
