I wanted the same poll as before so I could see what changed.  Maybe I should of added a second poll for if we couldn't trade back

I know its part 2, so it's too late.  But I think it would have been more interesting if the trade back option was specified.  Like move back 10 spots to get a 2nd next year or 3rd this year.  Make it crappy enough that you have to really hate that list of players to pick it.  I think the real trade back offer(s) will be crappy.  We're just gonna have to pick someone.

Yeah I'm really only interested in a second with a trade back.  If you can't get that then pick your guy

Every team has different evaluations and needs.  I think Sanders falling is a real possibility and the two OT's, TE, and top WR and RB might actually be at 8 too.   It is no guarantee though and a plan needs to be in place in case we don't get any offer to trade back. 

I think the steelers would kill to get sanders in the building.  Problem is dropping down to 21 without a bryce like haul isnt worth it

If one of the top defenders drop to us and the coaching staff is sold on them, you won’t hear any complaints from me. Ideally I would love to trade down. The inner fan in me would love nothing other than to draft Jeanty. I know it makes no sense, but I’d still use the pick on an absolute game changer. I never regretted drafting CMC back in the day, even with his injuries. If you feel a player could be an all pro go for it.

Yeah, Steelers don't have a second round pick so no.  The first half of the second round is going to be full of potential starters.   I hate we don't pick again until 57.

We could move back to 10, 11, or 12 (Chi, SF, or DAL) and get an extra 3rd. 

The only team I could see willing to give up a 2nd is Seattle, who have 50 and 52.  That would drop us back to 18.  Still lots of really good guys back there and that extra 2nd would be sweet.

there is a chance Mason Graham could be available.  Long shot, the Patriots are hosting him.  However, they really need a LT.  Their choice will be interesting

I just don't see how he makes it pass Jax or NYJ tbh

I feel there's 50% chance Graham will be at 8. Teams just don't draft DT high, even elite ones.

Currently this is my best guess to how the draft falls, everyone has the same top 3 picks.

ward

carter

hunter

---- Now the draft begins, the next four picks(in no order)

Campbell

Walker

Jeanty 

Sanders

Yeah I know, it would have to be like a first next year, a first in 2027, 2nd in 2026 and maybe a 4rth or something this year.  21 to 8 is a long way to move.  Maybe this is true I dont know, its lying season.

 

https://steelerswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/steelers/2025/04/02/2025-nfl-draft-espn-analyst-touts-shedeur-sanders-to-the-steelers/82779647007/

 

According to ESPN NFL draft analyst Matt Miller, Sanders should want to play for the Steelers and him making it that far would be a good thing for him and for Pittsburgh.

Miller points to the Steelers run game and offensive line as reasons Sanders should want to play in Pittsburgh. Those are both fairly arguable points but the run game is going to need a serious overhaul after Najee Harris left in free agency. He also notes that Sanders is a good fit with head coach Mike Tomlin.

If the Steelers do decide to target Sanders, they would almost certainly have to trade up ahead of the New Orleans Saints at a minimum. If the Steelers think he's the answer, it would be an expensive move to go up and get him.

 

For you guys keeping score at home, Saints are at 9, your carolina panthers 8.   Probably not feasible for either team but there is certainly a way to thread the needle and making it happen.  But it would have to be a poo load of capital and maybe a player or 2.    Maybe minka?

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
