Every year we hear about winners and lovers during and right after the draft but the real results don't show up for 1-2 years.

Hell, how many times have the Browns been declared big winners in the draft but the team still sucks year after year after year after year .......

The Steelers seem to have addressed several positions of need if the choices pan out.

I too am less than enthusiastic about the Aller pick but I'd be OK with him and Howard battling it out for QB1.

After the pick I'd love it if they told Rogers to pound sand. By the end of last season he looked old afraid to get hit - we don't need that "leading" our team.

We need to figure out if anyone on the roster is the QB of the future or if we need to.be aggressive next year. Another middling season wont do that.

The key with most of these will be how well they are coached. We've had limited success with the O-line since Munchak left so hopefully Campen can start getting more put of the trenches than we've seen in recent years.

Is what it is, but let's see what things look like 4 years from now.

Day 1 grade: A

Day 2 grade: A

Day 3 grade: B



Analysis: Kevin Colbert had an excellent final draft as the Steelers' GM, getting value without trading away picks. He grabbed a future starting quarterback in the experienced, mobile Pickett, found a falling receiver in Pickens, who will be a playmaker, and took a shot on the potential upside of the long, athletic five-technique Leal in the third round.



Austin's a nice complement to Pickens in the early fourth round, and I projected Pittsburgh selecting Pro Bowler Cam Heyward's brother, Connor, in the sixth round of my seven-round mock draft as a fullback/H-back. Oladokun has the mobility and arm to work his way into a roster spot this year or next, if he ends up on the practice squad for 2022. The team needed depth on defense, as well, but since no selections were made on that side of the ball, you can bet they will try to land some undrafted rookie free agents.

Nice find. That draft deserves a D- .

Pickens was worthy of his pick but a head case we had to boot.

When CAIII ends up your longest tenured player you failed.

Considering how our past A and B grade drafts worked out maybe its good that this is a D draft. George Constanza opposite theory and all that.

I get that, no doubt. Dude was the best returner in CFB. We have watched our special teams be horrid in this aspect. He changes that.
I really hope that you are right.

A midget WR in the 4th to go along with a massive swing and miss at QB in the 3rd.

Fuck this team indeed.
I don’t know what you consider a “midget” but the guy is 5’10, 195 lbs.
Thought he was listed as 5’8 if I’m wrong I stand corrected
Yeah, 5’8” is what I’m finding.

If the 195 is real, at least he’s not short and skinny

Hope still springs eternal without Tomlin in the house.
