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

    • Nijman is actually one of the better free agent left tackles available in free agency and he will get a chance to start next year. He will get a raise and likely be re-signed. Christensen backs him up and they should sign another veteran tackle and/or draft a 2nd or 3rd round tackle as well. Zavala and Corbett need to go so they should also draft a guard. I’ve suggested they should trade down in the first round to accumulate more picks for depth they are going to need a lot of going forward. 
    • Princely overall PFF was 47 compared to Scourton’s 68.   Not everything shows  up in the stats.  
    • If you account for the discrepancy in snap counts, then Princely and Scourton actually had pretty similar production. Scourton: 717 snaps (68%) 47 tackles (7 TFL) 5 sacks 15 pressures 1 FF Princely: 222 snaps (22%)  24 tackles (2 TFL) 1.5 sacks 5 pressures 1 FF, 1 FR I think Scourton was simply given more opportunities to flash.  Then it goes to a more abstract argument of why Princely was not given more playing time.  But then we'd be blindly giving credence to the same guy who not only drafted DJ Johnson, but was happy to waste a roster spot and snaps on the guy for 2 seasons and some change.
