Behind the scenes of the Steelers draft prep process

The process of preparation

An eight minute video about the year round process the Steelers use to get ready for the annual NFL draft...

If Steelers minority owner David Tepper ends up buying the Panthers, and perhaps brings a GM over from the Steelers office, this is the kind of thing we could be looking at here.

So Bank of America would be full of Steelers? So basically a normal Sunday?

Tepper apparently bought up a lot of BOA stock a little while back, but I believe he's sold it now.

Good thing Pittsburgh already has a team so we won't be moving to PA.  Than again Scrantonburg doesn't have a team.

Said it in another thread...

The NFL favors Tepper to be the next owner of the Panthers.

The NFL wants the Panthers to stay in the Charlotte market.

So basically, if they didn't believe Tepper would keep the team in Charlotte, why would they favor him?

If he bring 1% of the Pittsburgh Steeler mentality we'll be 100% better than we are now.

I will never say anything bad about JR because he is why the Panthers are in Carolina. However, I have had it up to my eyeballs with the "take care of my buddy" mentality over getting the job done.

Who said anything about bringing Steeler people with them?  I wrote the mentality.   I assume being a minority owner gives you at least access to the facility.

Good chance he'd give someone like Omar Khan or Phil Kreidler a shot at the GM job. Khan has interviewed for GM jobs before and Kreidler is good at his job. His scouting department got them guys like Le'Veon Bell and JuJu Smith-Schuster.

You could expect some others might come along as well (scouts and such) depending on their contract status. Obviously, he's not going to bring the whole operation with him but Tepper would likely want a strong Steeler influence.

If they're in contract, the Steelers would likely allow them to interview as long as the job is a promotion.  For lateral moves, probably not but if they want to come all you have to do is wait until they're out of contract.

Honestly though, regardless of where the people he hires will come from, if I'm working in the Panthers offices, I'm updating my resume' right now.
