Tomlin no qb pick = silent change - stripped of decisions ?

[DumlinBumlinStumlin]

Like Harmon

Safe and reliable

They perhaps took Tomlin out to the woodshed

[Works At A Bank]

I was thinking the same thing. Did they kick MT out the war room? This was the right logical pick. Can’t believe they didn’t grab a QB there

[Steelafan77]

Was holding my breath there. Harmon is a BPA at a position of need. Love the pick.

Surprised to watch Walter Nolen go as early as he did.

[DumlinBumlinStumlin]

Speaks volumes that. Mikey in war room is a complete disaster

Nice to hear if he was overruled

[RemoAZ]

We can only hope. I can't remember the last time I didn't watch at least the first round of the draft. That's the Tomlin affect. Would love to be able to get a little excited about the Steelers again.

Tomlin was fist pumping. That was all him. Gotter stop der run!!!! NHALS TO THE WALLZ!!!!

They will trade back into R2 for a QB. Just watch.

[Gonzo]

tomlin will is want a RB next

Shedeur Sanders maybe?

[Gonzo]

brown and giants are taking QBs at top of 2nd IMO

Tomlin loves to act for the cameras. Don’t forget that

[Gonzo]

well giants just helped us - one gone and two more need to go before steelers get any bad does

I don't know. This seems like a draft pick Tomlin would like.

I could see him smarting from the fact we were embarrassed by the run game in the playoffs and now he wants to try and fix it.

Of course, this looks like a Weidl pick as well.

Was Tomlin really talking up Sanders that much pre-draft? Is that why everyone thought we would take him?

I think i am hearing there was a rift in the room over Sanders vs Harmon. Lets see who wanted whom

Well, it's not exactly Shawn Andrews vs. Big Ben

From what I hear (coming from someone who is very close to one of the main protagonists) it was a very intense back and forth over the course of the week leading up to the draft.

While it's unlikely to be 100%, one of the PPG writers said typically Tomlin makes the call in R1, R2 & R3 are for the coordinators.

Unless Tomlin was the only one who wanted Shadeur, I have to imagine Harmon is who he wanted. Although I could see Rooney vetoing picking Deion's kid.

Coach Mike was conspicuously in pics focusing on D line scouting fwiw.

I would guess the draft board won as earlier reports had one Ward as the only 1st round QB on the Steeler's board. I was guess the pick was too late for AR2 and he was in bed

[Old School]

Nico is the perfect QB for Mediocre Man. Like Shazier and others, Mike is easily seduced by measurables that relate to athleticism. Some evaluators know a footballer when they see one. and can build and rebuild a roster. Mike is two tiered: he can't build and he can't coach. But he can cheerlead. Nico flings a bullet, runs fast, and can take a hit. He cannot throw with touch, can't read a D, and needs the entire first half to get comfortable. He can't tolerate the cold and he has a narcissist's self image. Nico is perfect for Mediocre Man.

[Ice]

Shazier would have probably turned out to be a pretty darn good Steeler if it weren't for the injury. Also showed tremendous character and leadership at tOSU, as well as in Pittsburgh. I think I get what you're trying to say there (though this year's draft certainly runs counter to that line of thinking), but I'd probably search out an example that wasn't a budding All=Pro.

I'll go ahead and say I don't really see it with Nico. I heard the hype, I watched some games and gave it a shot, I just didn't get what the fuss was about. He flashed some nice wheels on occasion in the frigid Columbus night in the playoff drubbing, but that was about it on the biggest stage. Good luck at UCLA, I guess.

Just curious.

If there was intense back and forth over the course of the week leading up to the draft over Sanders and Harmon, how did they not take Sanders in Rd. 3 or Rd. 4?

I’m not sure I believe the Steelers were ever considering Sanders, especially in the 1st round. I’d also like to know who was pulling for Sanders. How could anyone possibly consider drafting Sanders if they are planning on Rodgers? There is no way they could have both of those egos in the QB room. Talk about dysfunctional. That shows seriously poor judgement by whoever would support drafting Sanders. And since he fell to the 5th round, whoever that was should be kicked out of the draft room forever. That’s also poor talent judgement.

One thing I can say is that Sanders didn't fall because of the talent evaluation. This was most definitely about things beyond his tape.

Of all the higher rated QBs available next year, Nico is the one I do not want.

I didn't even mention that he looked like a 15 year old.

I have no doubt that Sanders fell to the 5th because of his attitude and the circus sure to follow him. But do you have an idea of where the Steelers had him rated purely on talent? Did they have him as a 1st rounder? Based on your original comment, I’m going to assume yes.

That is the important point about Iamaleava from my vantage point. Last season he looked like a teenage jock assimilating to his first full season of college football as a starter.

The excitement surrounding him is that he would eventually realize his full potential as a gifted 6’ 6 athlete. He is still at least a year away, possibly two from being a full on assassin.
