    You can’t hire a run first OC, sign a FB and have your owner talk about running the ball and have the most important position on the oline have a scrub in it.
    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?

      O-Line.

      I prefer an RT first. A true, powerful, RT who moves people off the ball (Latham, Fuaga, Barton, Mims). I wouldn't be upset with Barton based on what I've read (smart, agile, hard worker).

      If for some reason a trade down happens and all of the above are gone? I'd go CB (Wiggins, Kool Aid, etc). If those guys are gone? Darius Robinson.

      There's my full round 1-draft board, based on potential moves - lol

          Brandon Graham unless they can trade up for Taliese Fuaga

            TRADE with SF 49ers.

            Swap 1st round picks and give up another (3rd) for WR Brandon Aiyuk. With the 31st pick in the draft, the Steelers select C Zach Frazier, WV. (wouldn't that be fantastic IF Jackson Powers- Johnson or Barton would still be there)

            Might be far fetched, but I think Khan can pull it off.. Takes care of 2 huge needs on day 1.

              Same, and I'm afraid they're going to trade up for him.

                Agreed. I think there are too many needs we can get at 20 that we can stand pat or possibly move back a few.

                  Barton at #20. If he's gone Wiggins CB or the kid from Toledo at CB then move up in 2nd to get Fraizer at Center

                    I don't want Wiggins at all. Too slight. I could see the NFL beating him into a series of recurring injuries

                      Depends on who is on the board. Do we want the best center OR the 4-5th best tackle?

                      We have NO plan at Quarterback. We better get one in the first three rounds!
                      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. ***

                        I’d take a flyer on Milton in the 4th or 5th. I think a couple first rounders will be busts. I don’t see any 2nd or 3rd rounders panning out. We have much bigger needs with out first 4 picks.

                          I personally want to see Mims, but will be very cool with Barton. I just hope both of them are there, so we can get an idea of which one they valued more.

                            First time in NFL history that the first 14 picks have all been offensive players and all on one side of the ball.

                              Some teams looking at defense have to be going crazy
