I don’t believe they brought in any players they would consider in round 1. Not sure if that means they are targeting trade down, or what.

Looks a lot like round 3-4-5 will be RB, DL, QB

On the most recent visit list, I count maybe two first-round guys.

No Cam Skattebo? I’m shocked :shock:

He would be the perfect RB for the Artie Smith/Tomlin 2 yds and a cloud of horse shit offense :lol:

Dart, Golden and Emmanwori are all R1 guys, particularly for a team without a R2 pick. I agree it seems they're looking mid rounds for RB and it doesn't seem like they see DL as the issue that we do.

Hey, no Milroe, though, least up to this point.

Outside of Golden, those look like R3 WRs to me.

Sanders is... interesting.

Trey Amos is left off those lists at CB. I'd figure him for R2, but man he'd look good in B&G

doesn't seem like they see DL as the issue that we do.


Jibbs knows there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Plus he’s a defensive guru.

I’m fully confident he’ll coach up a Loudermilk or some other McScrubbin to do the job.

Or he will panic that his lapdog Cam Heyward is old and reach for a 3-4 DE waaaay too early.

They have massive needs at DLine. No starting NT, badly need replacement for Heyward. Can’t see them drafting a safety or spending a 1 and 2 on WRs unless they draft Golden and trade Pickens for a 2nd round pick. I could see RB, NT, DE or if Sanders falls QB in round one. That’s it

It would be amazing if they were doing a smoke screen to see who will trade up in the 1st to get either Dart or Milroe. you know if either/both QBs get close to the Steelers teams will be spending capitol to get in front of them. i think the other teams like the Giants or Saints or Browns would have to be very cool customers to think they could wait until the 2nd round to get either QB.

Steelers keep showing how serious they are about scouting the defensive line and running back spots. Today’s top-30 visitors are:

Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon
Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
Ollie Gordon II, RB, Oklahoma State

That makes 20 of the 30 slots filled.

Good to see Harmon's name on the visit list. Considerably less excited about Hampton.

Steelers certainly not hiding their quarterback interest.

Those of you in the "wait til next year" camp may not be too happy come draft weekend.

I like McCord as a pocket passer. i think he would do well in Smith's system. Very very accurate within 25 yards.

Taking a mid round QB this year still means wait till next year

Not necessarily

While you may have these qbs graded as mid round talent, doesn’t mean the Steelers do.

Shedeur, Dart, or even Milroe in round 1 ABSOLUTELY takes them out of the qb market for the next couple drafts.

Howard, McCord, or Shough could be a Tomlin like reach with that 3rd round pick not day 3 as you have them graded

I think the Milroe interest is a ruse ala Malik Willis. I don't think they're actually in on Dart.

Sanders? Tempting if he's there. But my guess is they go for a mid round QB like the 40 year old from Louisville.

Kind of fun trying to guess at who they might take rather than the Steelers all but wearing the players jersey to the draft.

Yes but we do not know about it. Unlike Revis and Jarvis Jones and Najee. you knew before the draft even started who they were going to pick.

Revis
Ohhh dude

Bad draft memory right there

Big mouth Tomlin telling anyone and everyone he loved Revis.

Rex and the Jets traded up right in front of us.

Lawrence Timmons was decent, but man Revis and Woodley would’ve been filthy.
