I just think it’s headset to scheme guys open in the BFL, and particularly hard if you’re focused on running the ball like 1992 and using mostly 2 WR formations. Just like the year before I’d be careful about using the tail end of the season as a measure of how good they’ll be this year. Remeber eve...

I've watched the condensed version of just about every playoff game so far. the net round is going to be pretty interesting, because there was some dead weight in the first round but those teams are getting shown the door. Guentel's return to PIT is inevitable if he doesn't elevate his play with Car...

I think DJ Chark is closer to happening every day the trade market continues to fizzle. Bud Dupree makes a ton of sense in some ways, but him not being a STs guy makes that unlikely. If I had to guess one surprise signing, make it Robert Tonyan, Jr.. He's a fit for the system and he might be had on ...

Tryout... Rayjuon Pringle, Villanova WR
Also measured a little below listed and, worse for him, almost .15 slower than expected. Big play receiver at the FCS level... set the school record for 75+ yard receptions. Worth a shot.

Michigan had a bunch of JAGS at WR, in a run first, predominantly run offense. At this point, I hate the Roman Wilson pick, hate his size( small frame) looks small on the field. Maybe the great Arthur Smith, who's best years as an OC came, when he had an ALL Planet RB hitting his prime, and an abso...

The two biggest changes I've seen with Khan/Weidl/Tomlin compared to Tomlin/Colbert: *We seem to be drafting much more from an overall consensus top board which is leading to great value picks. I think Colbert was more old school in trusting his instincts and trusting his scouts, and probably more ...

SDT, I can get behind most of your roster decisions. One that could be argued is whether Mark Robinson is a lock or on the bubble (personally, while at one point I had hope, I don’t even think he will make the team). And did you give consideration to Dylan Cook? See, I like Cook, but Joey Fisher wo...

Arthur Smith led the universe last year in 22 personnel. They will either have a FB or a TE/HBack that looks exactly like a FB. You are probably right Still I think Edwards has some juice and if this team is gonna run the ball a lot they REALLY need a 3rd RB like Edwards This will happen… but it’s ...

Steelers signed a 6th UDFA (there are also tryout players): CB Derion McKenzie, CB, Merrimack. Details of he is measurables in the pinned thread about metrics, but the skinny is: he's slow and measured a couple of inches shorter than listed. STs/Safety kind of prospect.

Why not add him as a cheap FA WR? Meh. Doesn’t do it for me. How many Van Jefferson’s and Quez Watkins’s do we need? We need a legit guy not another complimentary piece DJ Chark is an unrestricted FA who no longer counts against the formula. He's a similar WR to Zay Jones, only younger and a bit be...

I don't recognize these Steelers. After this offseason (so far), it's been clearer to me Khan/Weidl have more personnel power, and Tomlin now has less (or at least influence). Which is a step in the right direction from the relationship (err...influence over) Tomlin had with Colbert in his last han...

Could be. I’d rather have a healthy Holcomb + Roberts + Wilson but we’re gonna find out. Does anyone feel like this defense will be better than the one that got blown out by SF in week 1 last year? I see incremental improvements and more JPJ but there are still some gaps even from getting to the lev...

Follow up... the breakdown of Steelers formation usage last year: Pittsburgh's defense was in its base package with four defensive backs on the field for 35.5% of its snaps, the highest percentage in the league. The Steelers were in their dime personnel with six defensive backs for 23.2% of their s...

I would love to see him in a rotation his first year. Comes in as part of pass packages. I agree that's one way to use him where he could be effective... but he'll be off the field on 3rd downs, unless they're not giving Queen the green dot. Maybe in goal line, where they often use an extra LB. On ...

Another Ferris State University football alum has received his opportunity to compete in the National Football League (NFL) as standout receiver Xavier Wade (Holland/West Ottawa) has accepted a rookie mini camp invite from the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers. https://www.ferrisstatebulldogs.com/sports/fb...

Daijun Edwards looks like a MUCH better RB than C Heyward to me I would send Heyward to the practice squad But I bet Edwards has a GREAT preseason/camp and the Steelers cut him attempt to put him on the PS and he gets claimed and becomes a decent NFL rotational RB And Warren and Harris are half a s...

Lots of internet chatter right now that it’s not Sutton. Its DK Metcalf. Well, that would be something. DK Metcalf is only 26. Seems like he's been around forever. Would give the Steelers a lot of big, physical targets. Signed through 2025. Not huge cap hits in 24 or 25, but not insignificant eithe...

Nice work I think Fautanu Frazier Wilson McCormick Wilson are locks to make the team I expect Bishop and Watts to make the team Thats 7 guys who imo are likely to make the 53 in one draft. That’s extraordinary I would cut C Heyward for Daijun Edwards without much hesitation but I doubt it happens I...

I've watched a lot of film on Payton. His straight line speed is tremendous. He's also got a high motor and is really smart. Where he struggles is a) change of direction on a dime and b) if a big guard locks on to him. His core strength is an issue. To be fair most LBs struggle when a guard locks o...

He is an inch taller than DJ who played on the outside. Has a better 3-cone than DJ. Is faster than DJ. I think he will be fine. Dj was one of the best in the NFL beating press coverage. Roman Wilson doesn't beat man coverage-- a significant weakness in his play... which is why they spent so much t...

Traysom Hill role perhaps ??

Have you heard of this Justin Fields fellow?

Could he make the transition to WR? Future Hines/Randel El?

No.

1. QB
2. WR
3. DL
4. TE
5. RB
6. DL
7. S

I think it's going to be Quez Watkins. He fits Russ Wilson's talent for the deep ball better than Van or anybody else they have. All of the names out there in FA right now are older, possession types, or slow guys. Can't see them moving away from the speed angle they have going now. Bring Van Jeffer...

they get $5000 signing bonuses each. How many do you want at that point? At least fill out the roster for rookie camp. Take advantage of the chance to look at more players in a practice situation in your facility. yeah, UDFA used to be a strong pipeline for us. Now it seems like the FO has no inter...
