I am liking the Steelers draft in 2023 so far.

[SteelerSask2]

If they want a Q in the 7th instead ofa UFA I'm ok with it but doesn't sound like it's happening. I'd take an off ball linebacker or edge. Edge is my biggest concern now. They need someone who can spell the two or fill in for Highsmith. TJ is irreplaceable unless you are talking drafting at 1.17 or 2.1.

 

[Ike Kelly]

I must say I like the Khan and Weidl combination a lot. Khan focuses on the cap management and Weidl the players and draft.


B. Jones was a TOP 12 pick. Worth the trade for. We finally have a left tackle! Dude is a monster with good feet, strength and length. I would have picked him and approve of the trade up. He did not give up a sack last year, and played well vs the run and pass. I do not think he would be on the board without trading up.

On Pick #32, I would have taken, surprise Porter as well. He is an edge defending corner with plenty of height and length. A bit grabby tough. He was hardly tested in college.

On pick # 49, I also would have taken DT / NT Benton. We have a need for such a player. Who cares is he is rotated out for 3rd down and 4+ yards. His run defense is grade A. He can play in our base 4 man front or base nickel.

We went for a TE. Washington is a TE / T hybrid who can help as an in-line blocker , but I would have taken Safety Battle. I like the trade option though as we picked up pick # 132.


Overall I am pleased with the 2023 Steelers draft.

Mods please move this to the Day 3 thread.

Coach, give it a rest with “I would” narratives. You didn’t put a prediction post up on any thread, so what you would have done is irrelevant to anyone but the mirrors in your abode.

If Robinson was on the board, absolutely because I think he will be a star player and 3 down inside / outside back that we need. But he wasn't. I hardly view Water Footbal. I watched some of Porter's clips. He must watch those hands and didn't run outstanding nor did he do the drills that highlight quickness. Did he run a shuttle or do the cones? But he showed me enough to be a CB 2 type guy. He obviously has good length in his game and was tested very little in college. As such he was a hard evaluation.

CAW! CAW! CAW!…..again your comments are like a bunch of crows on a power line. “watched some of Porter’s clips”, did you watch any games? No. Wasn’t tested? The kid had 20 PDs recorded. So he had plenty of QBs throwing his way. He is a physical corner. Hopefully he will learn better technique skills on the ball skills and backpedal. He is an easy evaluation if you WATCH game film. Dumb ***.

Personally I felt Branch would have been the better player to have there, but I’m not complaining Porter was nabbed at 32. Especially when the majority of prognosticators had us taking Porter if th OTs were gone at 17.

 

[Frosty]

JPJ was asked what it will be like to work with Patrick Peterson. "It means a lot. I'm going to pick his brain every day."

Exactly what we want to hear.

 

[SteelerFan448]

There was no one they could take outside the first two picks that was moving that needle. You cannot fix everything in one draft. They know their own biggest weakness. They picked up two off ball lbs in free agency and I have hope for Robinson. Plus you have some monsters in the middle to keep them clean. It's pretty hard to pass up on second round some say first round talent on a trade back in the third.

Yep. Signing two ILBs in free agency pushed the priority down the list. Also, outside of Jack Campbell, this was a bad draft for ILBs.

 

[madinsomniac]

I have to say I am pleased. You grade a draft in two ways, long term benefit to the team , which we wont know for five years or so, and asset value. As far as i can tell, the second part has been an instant success.

First of all they managed to mitigate all major roster needs in free agency. Anything that we were doing was going to be upgrades or depth grabs.

In the first we traded up, (the cost was way undervalue) to leapfrog the Jets who were obviously targeting Jones. Jones was a perfect value at 14. Virtually all mock drafts had him going anywhere from 6 to 26, mostly in the 9-15 range. We needed a stud Offensive Lineman, and he has that potential… and we needed a backup OT so he or whomever he replaces will fill that role.

In the Second we correctly turned down trades where the extra asset returns were supposedly next season ( which is a crapshoot in pick range and draft depth) to get a guy who had a first round grade on him. CB wasn’t an immediate area of need, despite what people thought.. though we could have used a true top shutdown CB type… maybe Porter could be that, but it feels like he is going to need a little work to get up to nfl caliber technique… and a lot of people we’re looking at him as a wallace or Witherspoon type guy… more a 2 than a 1…. That is ok. We need that next year for sure.

Benton was the interior DL / NT type guy I didn’t think we would address high after bringing in a free agent. This is a good get. While some rankings and mocks had him in the third round, some had him near the top of the second. And he likely wouldn’t have been there at 80.

Washington is the gamble that his knees stay healthy, but if they do we have a two te weapon set that is great and it means if Muth ends up pricing himself out of our range, we are covered
And if he busts, it was only a mid third investment… huge upside, minor cost

Herbig is a perfect mid round edge project…

We aren’t going to have anything to compl About for days lol

 

[topseed]

Nothing really to complain about with the draft so far. I didn't like giving up the fourth round pick, but getting it back and selecting Herbig was perfect. The main remaining area of weakness is depth at ILB. They must really like Robinson's development.

They typically carry a decent amount of ilbs, so maybe they bring back Jack or trade back into the fifth

Dude, yes I watched Porter jr play in games and his clips. Don't speak on what you don't know, which is a lot. I noted this year and last year the everybody in the war room has a lop top and monitor except for TOMLIN, who knows jack carp about the draft. Why is this so? Can answer me on this question? Pretty please I will laugh in your face.


Our drafting ability has not been good at cornerback lately, but I see value in Porter's game. Brach is a fine college player but lacks the speed ( 4.58 his best time ) to play safety in man coverage, and has short arms. And he won't match up with ANY TE's . Besides we don't need a safety in round one or two. I am glad we did not take him.

By the way did you buy a red nose for you clown suit to complement your darks shades and hat?

Here is a reply……..No.

You‘ve shown time and time again, you have an infinitesimal level of understanding regarding the topic at hand. Player evaluation. I call bullshit in your statement watching Porter in games, since you have admitted on this board YOU DON‘T WATCH GAMES in looking at players, rather watching “clips” on YouTube or using your Walter football subscription to plagiarize. But I can say I don’t talk like I have diarrhea of the mouth like you very often do and I’m pretty confident that my knowledge on the subject is significantly larger than yours. For instance, Branch was not a safety, but rather a DB, who could play anywhere in the secondary. A true nickel slot defender, with boundary cover and both safety
position capabilities. Solid all around.

As for not good at drafting corners “lately”, we have drafted one quality corner since Bryant McFadden, that was Cam Sutton. Mike Hilton was a FA. The trend “lately” beginning with Joe Haden. Additionally, are you in the Steelers draftroom? the only live feed they’ve allowed shows the viewpoint from Omar and Andy’s side of the desk. Tomlin and Mr Rooney are on the opposite side out of view. Maybe you need your head examined, because there are parts of your comments that are written in gibberish, so seek professional help. BTW, you did get your GED? or maybe that’s the issue.…..jackass.

Coach keep doing your thing. Great insight on Porter by the way. Do you think he starts out of the gate?

 

[MTC]

@Coach seems you’re still not well liked.


As for the rest of the SN forum. Are the Steelers a playoff team this season? How do y’alls feel about Omar Khan’s first rodeo at this?

I personally feel like he did his homework and put a lot of thought into each pick.

He’s building around Pickett on offense and Watt on defense

 

[troymania]

I do have to apologize to Omar Khan. I was in the Louis Riddick camp for GM. I honestly thought Kahn was just a numbers guy. This off-season and draft so far have been off-the-charts good. I gotta a feeling the job is his for however long he wants it.

A bit slowly but he has upside tools. He needs to learn various coverages and how to play hands off defense. I like the pick.

Speaking of slow. You were already given insight to his improvement in this area in his last season. Any chance you were dropped on your melon as a child? That would explain your phobia about head size.

 

[Coach]

Here is my annual who I would have taken thread. If you care to play along, and don't live in a glass house and throw stones, you are welcome to add in who you would have taken. The rules are you can only take a player on the board in a given round. No trades. You can only pick where the Steelers actually select in a given round.

I like the Khan and Wedil team. Upon request I can show you a sample of previous drafts years.

Having said that here is who I would have taken.

Round one.

Steelers selected OT Broderick Jones
I would have taken the same player
Grade for need in the round A
Grade for value B+

Jones is a big tackle , with long arms and big hands. He did not give up sack last year. He is excellent vs. the pass, and has upside vs the run. He worked out well at the combine running a sub 5.0 40 and offers good lateral agility and flexibility on film. His punch and hand placement vs the run needs a little work. The Steelers have not drafted a tackle in round one since the 1990's. I project he will start as a rookie. He's only 21.


Round Two A

Steelers select CB Joey Porter jr
I would have taken, Same player
Grade for need B
Grade for value in the round A

Porter is an extremely long corner who can run well and swat down passes. But he is poor at intercepting them. Last year he had 11 pass breakups in 10 starts! A decent press style corner ( we lack them ) that should be good in short coverage and defend the side line very well. But his hands might draw more flags than I care for. A good CB 2 who should not be matched vs. the very quick or very fast, but has shut down ability vs. most WR's.


Round two B.

Steelers select DT Keeanu Benton
Who I would have taken, same player
Grade for need A
Grade for value in the round B+

Benton impressed me at the senior bowl and can be a good DT / NT. He should strat for us, and play DT / NT in 4-3, and the nickel. He offers a good two gap defense, which is something the defense sorely needs. His motor is good. He is tough to move and strong. Rotated off the field in obvious passing downs. He adds usual toughness.


Round three

Steeler select Washington
Who I would have take S Battle
Grade for need C
Grade for value in the round B


Now this pick did not make much sense to me. We don't need a TE. This player wasn't productive in college. And he was a medical red flag. He is a tall TE, a big target, and has decent speed. Okay but there were better and more productive players on the board and our depth at TE is fine. I would have taken Battle. A player who offers some coverage ( with size ) and play the run well and is smart.


Round four

Steelers select Herbig
Who I would have taken CB Blue Kelly
Grade for need B
Grade for value B

Herbig is a solid pick. A bit undersized, but he worked fairly well and had 11 sacks last year. In 11 games. Good production as a bitzer / attacker, but he leaves a lot to be desired as a run defender, He should add to special teams. His film is impressive.

I would have opted for CB Blue Kelly, a corner who had 13 pass break ups at two intercpetions in 11 starts. He can't be matched vs a #1 WR , but will shine when matched vs a 3,4 or 5.


Round seven A

Steelers select CB Cory Trice
Who I would have taken QB Bagent
Grade for value C
Frade for need C


Trice is a very tall and big corner. Not a bad pick but I would have opted for QB Bagent who absolutely set division II on fire throwing for 4,500+ yards at 70% completion and 41 td's last year. Such a man deserves a look.


Round seven B
Steelers select G Anderson
Who I would have taken LB Thomas
Grade for need C
Grade for value C

The fascination with Maryland players continues. I would have selected LB Drake Thomas who was a team captain and all over the field. He made 101 tackles, 19 for loss with 7.5 sacks, also breaking up four passes in 13 start last year. Yes he is short, but fine for special teams, and offers leadership, smars, toughness.



Overall I am very pleased with this draft and for a chage my picks are very simlar to the Steelers.

Overall I am very pleased with this draft and for a chage my picks are very simlar to the Steelers.

You wanted a RB in 1 a QB in 4 and a punter in 7. No way similar to what the Steelers drafted.

Washington will be a matchup chess piece with top end blocking ability. He will see more looks than a S camping out on the bench. You have already been told repeatedly about Porters hands. The improvement he showed last year, so obviously that shows he can continue to improve, not to interrupt your agenda.

You don't watch game tape, so who you would have picked means absolutely nothing fruitpop.

That scouting report that you stole your opinion from doesn't let you know that Anderson's tape at C showed promise. Which so happens the Steelers have a backup need at C. As you listed him at G and didn't offer any info on him because you know nothing about him.

 

[Coach]

Dude, The QB I liked was off the board in round four an we picked up a good punter in Branded Mann in free agency pre draft. Pay attention! I took no's one report.

My review was mostly positive besides a TE who has been injured and not very productive in college. I felt we could have done better in round three. Now can you list who you would have taken, or do your lack the stones and acumen to say so after all these years? It is one or the other because board knows you love to comment on my posts and I have asked you this question before.

For the fifteen time I watch college football!

There are no BUSTS this year in round 1-3 as I called the before they played down 1. Remember Burns, that CB who never played for us, and Bush? And Davis and K. Green? As they say it is can be found in the archives of this forum and they are time stamped.

Overall I am very pleased with this draft and for a chage my picks are very simlar to the Steelers.

Thanks for your post, my questions are:
1. Why Broderick has a value of B+ when he was a consensus top 3 LT and was picked outside ot the top 10?

2. Even if Washington was not a need, his round value should be higher than B at that point of the draft. I think we will see a lot of two TE sets and revamp our offense to demolish rivals controlling the time of possession.

3. You said you wanted a Safety in the 3rd, yet Trice only gets a C Grade for Need when he is probably moving to S. Same goes for Anderson, the kid can play C and we are short there.

Not bashing you, just asking for context, regards

Good questions.

1. Broderick I think will be a good starting LT. He was a B+ value because we had to trade a 4th round pick to get him. But I think he is worth it.

2. I believe we will see more 2 TE sets when we score a lot of points..whenver that happens. This TE is a project. There were better players on the board, and Battle was a guy I liked on film. And the need was there.

3 .Trice is a corner who can play safety and Anderson is a guard who can play C. That worked out well for us recently ( Kendrick Greene ) in round three didn't it? I felt there were better players on the board in round seven. This was a deep draft. I picked a QB and LB instead, both were ultra productive players!

I provided plenty of my likes prior to the draft. No need to beat my chest after the fact.

You barely watch college football if at all. The time you tried to break down tape your agenda roadblocked your viewpoint.

Again you are the worst self proclaimed draftnik in the history of. What makes your opinions the worst is after people point out where your thinking is flawed you still trot out the same bullshit over and over and over again.

You are more concerned with your ****** opinions than seeing why the Steelers drafted said player.

 

[SteelBuckeye]

I'm actually going to give Coach a pass on this one.
We get on him when he spouts opinions off without giving any indication of what led him to form those opinions. In this post, he states what he would have done and why. Can't get on him for doing what we've told him he needs to do for years.
Like Litos, I disagree with some of his grades for value. But, overall, I've seen other opinion posts that were worse work than what he's done here.

Good questions.

1. Broderick I think will be a good starting LT. He was a B+ value because we had to trade a 4th round pick to get him. But I think he is worth it.

2. I believe we will see more 2 TE sets when we score a lot of points..whenver that happens. This TE is a project. There were better players on the board, and Battle was a guy I liked on film. And the need was there.

3 .Trice is a corner who can play safety and Anderson is a guard who can play C. That worked out well for us recently ( Kendrick Greene ) in round three didn't it? I felt there were better players on the board in round seven. This was a deep draft. I picked a QB and LB instead, both were ultra productive players!

Yeah a franchise LT sometimes you have to give up to get. That doesn't lower his value. If anything it shows how valuable he is that you couldn't sit and hope he fell to 17.
