What would thrill/depress you tonight?

[Greg Lloyd]

Well, we're here, after all this time, we'ze here, draft night.

SO what are you looking for? What would fill you with joy? My ideal night is drafting the very-best, Pro Bowl- (maybe even All Pro-) level player in one of our areas of extreme need, i.e. C, RT, WR...whichever player is the very best player available out of those 3 positions. Period.

My most-depressing night would any pick consisting of Shades' influence. I am not interested in any player who Tomlin "vibed" with and shared chicken wings, because in that scenario the player will automatically attain and keep starting job regardless of how terrible they are (see Moore).

A trade down would be OK with me but a trade up, not so much. Short of Polamalu, trade ups in Pgh's drafts have been FAILs. We HOPE the Jones trade up is successful, but other than him, trade ups have been:

- Loudermilk - a bust
- Bush - a colossal BUST, thanks Colbert and Tomlin.
- Rudolph - could have been used better
- Shamarko Thomas - bust
- Ta'amu - bust
- Sepulveda - bust
- Santonio Holmes - not bad, SB MVP, but weed crazy
- Ricardo Colclough - BUST me baby
- Troy - the anomaly here
- Kendrick Bell - was going great guns and then fell into an abyss of failure

A new Tomlin contract announcement would depress me.
Passing on great talent for need would too, like drafting Frazier or jpj in the 1st

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

I would be excited to see a top 5 tackle fall to us or if not trade down. Don’t take a center before 51. I would be happy to get Cooper Dejean. I just hate to see a trade up unless it is for a truly special talent, like a top 3 receiver.

 

[Steel Reign]

I don't want to see overthinking. We have multiple needs. No more reaching at a specific position to the detriment of others.

 

[Steelmann]

I would like Fuaga As OT. Rome Oduzne if he dropped….sprint to the podium.

My feeling is Barton will do the most to help our team AND give the most flexibility for the remaining picks. Which is huge.

 

[Lunar]

Shoot to thrill, play to kill
Too many women with too many pills, yeah

I don't see Odu dropping that far, not to 20. Barton could be a reality at 20. And we KNOW this team LOVES flexibility (too much many would say, me being one of them).

 

[steelhurt]

I’d like Graham Barton at 20. RT perhaps, and move up in round two and pick our center. Zack Frazier from WVU perhaps. OL solved! Powerful running game for sure.
Round three pick the best WR.
Sign Tyler Boyd in FA.
Fix s some glaring holes even though still have some.

 

[Steelr4evr]

Center or tackle round one will thrill.

Drafting a punter or wide receiver in round one...booo hiss..boo...hiss.

 

[bkwheat28]

Please don’t trade away the first rounder for veteran receiver who wants fat new contract.

 

[ZonaBurgh]

Thrill: having the winning PowerBall numbers.
Depress: a letter in the mail from the IRS

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

Thrill - Coach never comes back.

Depress - Greg Lloyd is still here making shi$ty posts.

 

[TDX27]

Odunze falls to 20 (I know this ain't happening but one can dream). We grab him. Frazier slides to our 2nd pick and we snag him. Our top 2 needs filled.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

 

[steel dino]

Thrill would be swinging a deal for Aiyuk…
Or holding at 20 and getting Rome or Thomas.

Not a thrill if we draft a center at 20.

 

[steelcan58]

Thrill would be swinging a deal for Aiyuk…
Or holding at 29 and getting Rome or Thomas.

Not a thrill if we draft a center at 20.

Reaching for a C scares the bejeebers out of me but in Khan I trust.

A new Tomlin contract announcement would depress me.

You'll have to wait a little later for the new Tomlin contract. But get ready - it's coming

 

[wossamotta]

Thrill: JC Latham falls to 20 and we move up a little to get Frazier in the 2nd round.

Depress: I doubt Kahn and Weidl are going to do anything dumb or crazy.

 

[KStilley]

Thrill: JC Latham falls to 20 and we move up a little to get Frazier in the 2nd round.

Depress: I doubt Kahn and Weidl are going to do anything dumb or crazy.

Ditto, we get Latham but he's probably long gone.
Depress, my wife decides she wants to discuss something when the Steelers are on the clock.

 

[Pittsburgh Charlie]

Barton would thrill me
Nothing sports related or things out of my control depress me at this stage in my life

 

[jitter77]

To me if you get a center for 10 years its not reaching regardless of projected draft spot

 

[IowaSteeler]

Thrill: This entire board in meltdown mode when everyone's predictions go down in flames, lmao (happens every year)
Depress: we trade our 1st rnd pick for an overpriced veteran receiver

1st round
Draft hit or miss % by position, 2000 - 2019

I thought the board was pretty happy last year with the Broderick pick.

 

[IowaSteeler]

Yeah, agree slash ... most years though

 

[slashsteel]

Yeah, agree slash ... most years though

The rumor per Rap is the Steelers are working the phones for a potential trade up.

So you might end up being right.
