On to round two

Great value picking a productive, physically elite ILBer at 98. He is big enough to play Mike, but fast enough to play Will. Injury concerns no doubt.

But if the guy has no injury issues, is 6'3", 235 lbs., runs a 4.43 after totaling 130 tackles, 17 TFL and 6 sacks his senior year, you think he is available at 98?!?
 
The Pittsburgh Wilsons.

I think use Wilson in a rotation so he doesn't wear down. Should make a lot of Tomlin splash plays if he stays healthy.

Early second rounder at worst. The talent is there and imagine when he enters the starting lineup with Patrick Queen.
 
I’m just gonna say it. So far 50%
 
Fantastic draft pick. Production, size, and athleticism. I get he fell because of an extensive injury history, but more than worth the risk at this point of the draft. Khan is so good at getting the best talent available at each pick.
What has been great about this draft is that our needs matched up well at the time of the pick and the talent available.

Killing it!
 
Omar Khan is a ****** genius. Wilson stays healthy, he could be special.
Khan and Weidl have a clear vision for this team and have added some really good pieces to this roster.

OL - Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu, Zach Frazier, Spencer Anderson
TE - Darnell Washington
WR - Roman Wilson
DL - Keeanu Benton
EDGE - Nick Herbig
ILB - Payton Wilson
CB - Joey Porter Jr., Cory Trice

7 of 11 picks at premium positions. JPJ and Benton played at a very high level as rookies while Jones flashed high-end talent. In 2024, probably got over slot value at each draft spot so far.

I also feel they are building a team to help set up Justin Fields for success. We saw what the Ravens did for Lamar Jackson with a great running game and defense. Does anyone else get the sense the Steelers are trying to build a similar type of attack to try to maximize Fields' skillset while minimizing his glaring weaknesses? The best case scenario for this team is Fields living up to his pre-draft hype and developing into a long-term answer at QB.

It will be fun seeing this unfold through camp and pre-season. Though we won't really know **** until the real games start.

The running game could be ridiculously good this season. Seeing them smash people again would just be grand and worth watching.
