2023 Pittsburgh Steelers. Banged up team loses to Buffalo. Looking ahead to 2024 now (5 Viewers)

[Bracie Smathers]

if they pick one I hope it's not Pickett

They would know more about him than anyone else.

Matt Waldman likes the pick.  Go check out the Footballguys live feed or check it out later.

[HellToupee]

I’d like Devonte Wyatt but not a chance the Steelers pick him

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

It’s gonna be pickett. 

 

[Iceman03]

Glad Colbert is out. Fire EVERYONE after this draft. 

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Have to assume Coach T is skeeting his pants with Willis available.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Dan Marino syndrome. 

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Rooney trumped the draft board. 

 

[Blick]

You can’t pass on QB here. 

 

[HellToupee]

Hasselbeck is the comp 

 

[belljr]

Welp...see you next year

 

[Blick]

You can’t pass on QB here. 

Well maybe on that one. 

 

[Godsbrother]

Not what I would have done but at least we didn’t give up picks to get him

 

[fred_1_15301]

If they were going QB, I really wish they just took Malik over Pickett.  Ugh.  But I guess when all the QBs fell, they really had no choice but to go QB there.  

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

What if Trubisky shows his pedigree this year?  Why not trade back?  Ugh. 

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Hope i am wrong. But this seems terrible. 

 

[hammerva]

Yeah we have a QB competition in Week 1.    At least with Willis we can let him grow for a year.  Not sure if Pickett has that option 

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Meh.

Not a believer in any of these QBs.  At least they didn't trade up

 

[JoeSteeler]

What if Trubisky shows his pedigree this year?  Why not trade back?  Ugh. 

Patriots just traded back to the Chiefs, why couldn’t Steelers do that? 
29, 94, 121

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

This creates potential controversy too with local media and fans pushing for the pitt guy. I hate it. 

 

[fred_1_15301]

What if Trubisky shows his pedigree this year?  Why not trade back?  Ugh. 

If this happens then I honestly don't really even care what pick they made in this draft.  I would be ecstatic.      

 

[JoeSteeler]

Trade up was my nightmare scenario.

 

[JoeSteeler]

Well at least they got their long term backup QB

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

This could set us back 7 years. 

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Patriots just traded back to the Chiefs, why couldn’t Steelers do that?

Shows exactly how much they liked Pickett, I suppose (not an endorsement on my part)

With ALL the qbs on the board, they clearly wanted that one. I guess.  Meh.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Now watch Baltimore come out of round 1 with Hamilton and Wyatt.

 

[Godsbrother]

This could set us back 7 years. 

Silly.  

 

[fred_1_15301]

Silly.  

 

[belljr]

Trubisky and pedigree, I don't think have ever been uttered in the same sentence until tonight

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Nobody else wanted a qb. Could have traded back twice

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Silly.  

If he is a bust, they still aren’t drafting a qb for another 4-5 years. Then you have to hit and develop him. 

 

[JoeSteeler]

This could set us back 7 years. 

Lol feels like it, doesn’t it?

 

[Blick]

They had to take QB since their top guy was there. They did their homework and have to know Pickett better than anyone. Let’s hope they’re right. 

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Trubisky and pedigree, I don't think have ever been uttered in the same sentence until tonight

He was second overall. Pickett fell to 20 and if not for us, drops out of the round. 

 

[fred_1_15301]

If he is a bust, they still aren’t drafting a qb for another 4-5 years. Then you have to hit and develop him. 

Why do they have to wait 4-5 years?  

 

[Blick]

He was second overall. Pickett fell to 20 and if not for us, drops out of the round. 

I doubt he was dropping out of the 1st.  Teams would trade up for the 5th year option. 

 

[menobrown]

This could set us back 7 years. 

I feel like it's choosing purgatory for the next 5 years. 

 

[Godsbrother]

If he is a bust, they still aren’t drafting a qb for another 4-5 years. Then you have to hit and develop him. 

That’s crazy. It cost us 1 first round pick. If he sucks you can draft another or sign a FA at any point you want.

Drafting Jarvis Jones didn't set us back. 

 

[fred_1_15301]

That’s crazy. It cost us 1 first round pick. If he sucks you can draft another or sign a FA at any point you want.

Exactly.  Most teams draft a QB that doesn’t pan out.  They’re not all set back 7 years.

This

 

[JoeSteeler]

Hasselbeck is the comp 

Matt or Tim?

 

[steeler6]

I hate the Ravens. 

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Shots fired.

Never say never, Mark

Good news is that we don't have to do 3 months of QB talk next year during the offseason

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

The last time the first qb in a draft was taken 20 or later was 1997 Jim Drunkenmiller. 

 

[Godsbrother]

So the pundits were right: the Steelers were obviously enamored with Malik Willis and they will pounce on Baker Mayfield if he’s released by the Browns.

or not 

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Drafting Jarvis Jones didn't set us back. 

Teams cut bait faster on non-qbs. 

 

[JoeSteeler]

AFC  North now has 6 1st round QB’s

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Hopefully I am wrong. I just don’t like that according to what I am hearing, the football people didn’t have a qb there, but Rooney wanted one. Having said that, the football guys had Pickett as their top qb. 

 

[5-ish Finkle]

All that talk about no QBs lasting until 52 is looking ace at the moment....
