It might not be the optimized thing to do, but the illogical fan side of me just wants him to be a Steeler for his whole career. Like Polamalu and Hines Ward. I know Polamalu was a little rough at the end, but it was worth it to me.

Just found out about the contract headaches going on right now with all of the 2nd round picks, due to the first 2 being given fully guaranteed contracts. Dodged a bullet there.

I still think this is partly due to Austin. His role has changed completely and his autonomy was taken away. He's being forced to basically be the backstop of the defense instead of roaming like he did his first few seasons with us. I would not be shocked if he had much higher productivity next...

I'm sad to see George go. He has the talent to be a great WR, but just wasn't able to put it all together. I think Khan made this move for 2 reasons. 1. To pull the comp pick a year earlier so they can use it to draft a QB in 2026. 2. They want to overhaul the team character as quickly as...

Steelers anticipated to cut Adams after drafting 2 DL.

My reaction to the pick being Harmon over Sanders was "Oh thank god!" haha. Harmon has an interesting story that I didn't realize before last night. I knew that his stats when moving from Mich St to Oregon improved drastically, but most of the analysis didn't really go into why this might have...

My worst case scenario is that we reach pick 21 and all 4 of the top DL are gone. If that's the case I hope we trade back twice. Trade back with Tex or KC moving up for an OL, and then trade back with Cleveland/Giants/NO moving up into the 1st to grab a QB with 5th year option. We give 21 and...

Warren feels like a Steeler, but it seems like he'll go top 14 minimum, if not top 7.

So far it sounds like we're definitely taking Sanders, Dart, Milroe, Hampton, Henderson, Burden, Egbuka, Harmon, and Grant depending on who you ask. Feels like this is the most confusion around a 1st round pick since 2018. 2019 it felt like we were going ILB if we could, 2021 we were locked in...

Solid mock, I think that DL should def be the pick in the 1st unless a shocking player falls to 21 like Will Johnson. I do think the pick will be Grant because Harmon will be gone and they'll take Grant over Nolen. I think Howard would have to be the pick in the 4th to get him, I'm not sure he...

Just saw that Schefter is reporting a handful of teams trying to trade down. I think it'll be difficult to find a partner willing to give up anything of value if there's this much effort to trade down.

The last thing I heard from a source I kind of trust is that the plan is to go all-in on QB next year. Who knows if that's true, but if it is, then I think a trade back in the 1st is possible if the opportunity presents itself. I'm hoping very hard for no QB in the 1st, and would be much happier...

Mock drafts aren't healthy. Just did one through one of the top mock draft sites where I traded back for two 2nds this year and 1 next year, and still got Grant at pick 54.

Florio finally came around to "signing Rodgers may not be a great idea for the Steelers." No **** Sherlock.

Hoping this is right. Unless someone shocking falls to 21 I'd want Walter Nolen, Kenneth Grant, or Derrick Harmon. Lots of big boards have those 3 DL lower than 21st, though some have them in the top 15. Wonder if there's a chance to trade back and still get one. Also, if Will Johnson falls to...
