Thanks for posting this! Those 3 3rd round picks and 2 4th round picks should help a good bit. There is definitely still good quality players in there and they can use the 3rd's to help trade up in the 1st or 2nd.

I think so far there is 4 of us driving for the draft experience in Pittsburgh. I expect fans packed in like sardines. 😂

How many First round level Qs will be available. Clearly the Indiana kid. But tgey wont get him. I don't even want Tomlin involved with that but he will be. Who are QB 2 and 3.

I am thinking it is either Mendoza, Moore, Maiava , or Simpson. Maybe three go in the first…maybe all 4.

My favorite right now is Simpson…if he declares.
 
Pittsburgh should not draft a QB until
Tomlin is gone, if they are gonna allow him a voice in the decision they may as well hand him a three year extension too and compound their mistakes:

Heck at this point they should trade about 9-10 of those picks for picks in the following draft to give to a coach that actually believes in developing players.

Well they should just let him go 😁as I think they are drafting one more than likely in this upcoming draft. No better time than the present!😂
 
My fear is instead of taking a flyer on one of the qbs or getting a stud wr, we will target Love abd trade up for a RB in the first🤦🏻‍♂️
 
Well Shades (188) is five wins behind the Emperor (193) for all time wins.
Once that occurs probably next season his 20’th season, that could be his last in Pittsburgh.
I ******* hope so since I’m sooooo tired of his bullshit.
If the record is so important to Art then so be it but Shades will never, ever be the coach the Emperor was.
Noll built a dynasty, Shades inherited one!
 
The whole great draft year for qbs has really fallen through, Mendoza appears to be the front runner and a couple others will build some hype but compared to all the projections before the season, many have dropped to day three selections. The thing of it is, there are teams who have multiple first round picks who need qbs, the Steelers can’t get into a bidding war for the few who may be worthy, and they shouldn’t. Sooo many needs and so many 30 something veterans, just start drafting good football players, screw this constant first round over evaluation of players at position of need.

Add in the HOF QB for most of his career, something Noll didn’t have.



Salute the nation

I agree the shine is off this QB class and rightfully so.

I think there is a Jordan Love type that will be available when we draft in round 1-by that I mean someone with the tools to be a very good starter in a few years if developed right and not rushed into playing to say-save a Tomlinship

The problem is I don’t really trust Omar Khan and his scouts to find him.

I absolutely don’t trust Mike Tomlin’s coaching staff to develop him

The QBs the Steelers have been scouting are uninspiring.
 
What you do is spend a third on one of those QBs you really thought were gonna be top ten material. Trade another fourth into next year, Then you still expect to take another in 2027 but let Rudolph, Howard, abd tge Rookie take the reigns next year. If you crash n burn .. so be it

Are you saying 11 total because you expect 1 to go away, because that's 12 picks.

Yep, Pittsburgh no longer have their own 6th, and have New England's 7th. The Steelers 6th was traded to NE for Dugger and the Pats 7th.

Tonight he had some serious inaccuracy issues. Not ******** on him. But concern.

Part of the reason I have been alternating as this class seems to have some solid attributes but they all seem attached to concerns as well.

Oh yeah that is right two 7ths and one 6th. (Maybe)
