The Kahn man got an extension too. Well deserved, IMO.

Per PFF… Most penalized WRs last year - #1 DK Metcalf #2 C. Lamb #3 G. Pickens #4 A Lazard I guess the stars have aligned for Lazard to be a Steeler.

Don’t have to get to #2 to get a very good QB. Top 15 and maybe even top 20 will likely still get you into the QB lottery in a QB heavy draft. Remember where Big Ben was drafted? How many teams will be looking for a QB in the top 20 next year? Plenty of room for 4-5 very good QBs to fall into...

Amari Cooper and Keenan Allen are out there, but I kinda doubt they go after either.

His talent makes him worth a 2nd. His maturity makes that worth a 4th. I’ll take the 3rd and the 5th-6th swap as a Steelers fan. Without an extension, GP would have been a hold out/in and given his 1/2 effort on more plays than usual when he did see the field.

FWIW, Bleacher Report draft coverage had a QB scout on as a guest speaker who called Sanders a 6th round pick (about 10-20 picks before he went off the board). So everybody pimping him for the first few rounds needs to pump the brakes. There’s a reason Mel Kiper isn’t an NFL GM at the moment, guys.

Was hoping Cobee Bryant. Don’t mind Black.

I get the feeling that Deion said something to the point of, “If you don’t draft him in the 1st, don’t draft him at all. We will do the UDFA thing.”

Phew

Wasn’t the 21st supposed to be the team’s deadline for Rodgers to sign? Wonder if he managed to pee clean by now.

What I’ll add to the Tomlin discussion is: Where is the Tomlin coaching tree? Most OC/DC and sub coaches hired are Tomlin picks. They have never been good at developing young talent, and I can’t think of much in the way of success after Tomlin with the most notable probably being Ariens.

The standard is the standard.

Russ can’t throw far enough to Hail Mary.

Grounding

All the game threads I watched were also pretty quiet. My guess is a lot of people were drained from partying for the Tyson fight and UFC fight the prior two nights.
