It feels like the annual trap of getting my hopes up. Last year it was how good the Steelers looked during preseason, but then we immediately fell flat when we started to face true defensive alignments. This year it seems so obvious that we've upgraded at a lot of individual positions and...

I would also love to see the defensive alignment comparison. It felt like Najee was being bashed against 10 man fronts within Canada's scheme since the play calling was so predictable. Warren had change of pace on 3rd down with much lighter pressure up front.

Both Najee and Warren are solid and will benefit from not having Canada's scheme holding them back. I think the front office just wants to see how Najee does with the new scheme. Also, Najee has always seemed self-motivated, but if the Steelers ever had an "all-in" year, it's this one with two...

A lot more than a 3rd round pick in 2025, but less than some of the contracts given out this year.

To be fair to Najee, and the whole Steelers offense the last 3 seasons, they were saddled with Matt Canada. Najee averaged 4.1 yards last year in a Matt Canada offense, that feels like 4.8 in an average NFL offense. But yeah, I agree that the main reason for not extending him was probably his...

Maybe an extension is planned? In which case it's not necessary.

The Steelers O-line was 25th last year. So we somehow got 7 spots worse while replacing Mason Cole and Dan Moore, and moving Broderick to his more natural position. Interesting. I'd be willing to bet all the money that we rank better than 32 by the end of the season...

My favorite would probably be Zach Frazier, with Fautanu a tiny step behind just because we already have one solid tackle. We haven't had a good Center since the 2018 season. Mentally Pouncey was still an asset who could diagnose defensive schemes and help situate the offense, but physically his...

The most recent rumor is that we've basically called about half the top 15 WRs in the league, but that they would be post-June 1st due to current contracts. At this point I'll believe it when I see it. Too much buzz without substance. There are a handful of free agents I wouldn't be too...

There's honestly 40-50 WRs I'd rather have, probably more if you account for his $17 mil per year cost. I would 1000% rather have Deebo, Higgins, and Aiyuk. A bit worried the target might be Lockett. He had better stats than Sutton last year, and the Seahawks have 3 solid WRs, but Lockett's cap...

Bryant McFadden can go **** himself lol. I keep refreshing/checking news sites for big Steelers news. Finally an update happened and it's that we signed a UDFA CB who is 25 and ran a 4.71 40. Not the exciting news I was hoping for. I did see that the Broncos beat reporter said that it's not...

It was reported on draft day.

He's signed for 2 more years for slightly more than we were paying Diontae Johnson. I'd be ok trading for him and letting him play out his current contract, but wouldn't want to extend him for big $$. He has shown to be a top 50 WR, but not a top 20 guy.

Yeah, I'd rather we don't sign a woman strangler. I'm perfectly fine with Tomlin and Khan talking with him, hopefully getting him back on a good path, but talent shouldn't override everything.

Lots of talking heads/articles are saying that McCormick is likely the replacement for Daniels or Seumalo, but I assumed he's the replacement for Herbig after this season. Maybe Daniels if he wants top 10 guard money; he's currently ~$9 million per year and top 10 guard is $16 mil per year...

Smaller school/lesser competition and typically guards aren't as highly valued as other positions. He was the 9th guard taken overall and Kiper had him as his 6th best guard. Didn't slide a ton but he went behind guys from Michigan, Kansas, and Texas A&M, just more battle tested.

We're getting ridiculous value compared to the projections coming into the draft: Top 15 OT at 20 Top 40 C at 51 Top 50 WR at 84 Top 50 ILB at 98 Who knows how it'll end up, but worked out pretty well last year. Fingers crossed there's a repeat of greatness. I hope we go BPA in the 4th whether...

That would be awesome! I assumed it would take two 3rds or a 2nd and 4th.

Multiple times. Could he move inside? Tackle. Right tackle or left tackle. Tackle. Did you consider center or cornerback. Tackle.

If Frazier or JPJ fall to the 40's, I could see a trade up happening. If both those guys are gone, I hope we don't take a center til the 3rd earliest. Take a later center and sign a FA to compete. Do you think we go Sainristil if the centers are gone and we stick at 51? Also, I still hope we...
