We are flying our colors in Pittsburgh today...fully represented

Matt Rhule, Ben McAdoo, Sean Ryan, Scott Fitterer and Dan Morgan have all been confirmed.

I'm surprised David Tepper isn't there.

Edit: Steelers reporter Mark Karboly said one of our scouts is there too (I'd guess Northeast region scout Eli Montague)

So we're either truly, madly, deeply in love with Pickett, or this is one hell of a smokescreen trying to convince someone to trade up to our spot.

If this is the case, bravo front office. Do what you can to send those smoke signals so we can trade back with Seattle or Washington.

I think Pickett seems like a guy who's gonna stick no matter what, if not a solid starter than high end backup but better than Teddy Bridgewater, and Willis has the talent teams are looking for these days (fantastic arm and movement skills) but is a bigger risk than Trey Lance. I'd rather pass on that for the guys next year but I am emotionally ready to rationalize whomever is the pick this year. 

I'd still rather be choosing between Charles Cross, Kayvon Thibodaux, and trading down, though. 

I’m a big believer in drafting qbs, oline and dline high. Build your trenches, get your qb, no matter the order the picks come up. But I think people need to realize we might not get a high draft pick next year. We might not get a chance to draft a special qb high next year. That’s why I’m good with taking a shot. I know rhule sucks. But our younger players are getting older, we’ve made very solid moves outside the qb position this off-season. Willis is SPECIAL but he’s so raw that I get why people are scared to pull the trigger at 6. You aren’t doing anything in this league consistently without a superstar at qb. Consistent playoff runs are the floor here. Gotta take the shots when they come.

That's brutal for Kenny P.

No other HC wants to see him throw? Damn.

In fairness.....the entire AFC West/AFC North (minus Pittsburgh) is good at the moment.

AFC East: Bills are set. Jets/Patriots just spent first rounders on QBs and Miami is idiotically sticking w/Tua & signed Bridgewater.

AFC South: Colts don't have a first rounder, Texans seem smitten w/Mills, Jaguars just drafted Trevor Lawrence & Shad Khan kept Baalke in charge to make sure he ruins him and I don't think the Titans would do it at this point.

NFC wise: SEA, DET (sticking w/Goff 1 more year?), MIN (Cousins 1 more year), NO, ATL, need QBS.

It's possible some of these teams met w/him at the Combine or he'll visit them. 

If the FO wants Pickett - I'm 100% positive they'd rather do so at 15-20 as opposed to 6. Getting a LT before the draft would really open up possibilities for Fitterer come draft night in terms of flexibility.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
