No they won't. LT was the correct choice no matter what.

I don't think you understood the post. This place has hated on Pickett as much as anyone in years. He has to be a bust. Could we or should we have been able to draft him or Willis? Doesn't matter we didn't have the ammunition thanks to Scott and Matt (no 2nd or 3rd).

If Pickett ends up being a homerun for the Steelers some folks here are gonna have some serious explaining to do.

I'm not expecting it, but I wouldn't be surprised.  They are one of the best run organizations in all of pro sports.  Big difference between getting drafted there and developing as a QB versus getting drafted here.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they traded back into tomorrow for one of the QBs. Maybe Corral? I’m just theorizing .

Ian Rapoport was saying earlier that they could go get Baker and that’s the case, then no they’re not gonna trade back in to get a quarterback

Nope, which isn't surprising. No stud RB prospects this year. I don't think any go in the 1st.

After teams getting Eli Mitchell and the like the later rounds I think that trend is over. Good thing we paid CMC $15M a year right before the market crashed

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
