Not surprised about Washington leaving. Still surprised JuJu left since I think only 3 million of that is guaranteed.

But for some odd reason I am not too worried about the WR position. Even in the draft they can get another WR to pair with Johnson and Claypool.
In Colbert we trust… Man is a genius at restocking the WR cupboard.

Sign a vet like Jarvis Landry & draft a stud. Boom the offense looks potent again.

Juju’s decision to leave has everything to do with wanting to prove himself & his value. He wasn’t going to be able to do that here in this Mickey Mouse Canada offense that gave him a 5yd route tree.

Well ok then… lose your kick returner then go get the best there is I guess. But he doesn’t appear to bring anything as a WR.

You'll like Gunner as a player. Not so valuable as a WR. Very athletic, hard worker, good motor.
Showed better judgement his all-pro year. Tried to hard to get in the return game when teams started to make it harder to justify a return.

I don’t like the thought of eating up a helmet on game day for a guy that doesn’t bring anything to the offense. I’d rather have an unproven but versatile guy in there that can do both.

Gunner might improve receiving in a change of scenery.

JFC....The online hype around two things is getting old:

1. Tomlin/Colbert were at Pitt pro day - NO SHIT it is at the Steelers training facility.
2. Tyrann Mathieu to the Steelers - when this doesn't happen I see a lot of folks jumping off the Fort Pitt Bridge like it is the end of the world.

It's always entertaining to see what Steelers "armchair GM" Nation suggests every offseason... Guess we should have suspected that it would indeed get worse when the team finally had a decent amount of cap space.

I swear this is every last one of them as they type things on the internet.

Even if its essentially a prove it deal, it still bothers me they paid Chuks... I would have been ok with paying him a smaller contract to play backup

Tackle should absolutely still be a potential target in the 1st round.

Ranks as the 12th highest paid LT at $15m per. Pretty damn affordable for an All-Pro talent to protect your backside.

I really think Willis is the guy they want.

Thankfully, I think the hype-train will price him out of their reach.
Lions or Texans could take him. Then I think Carolina takes Pickett at 6. Falcons, Seahawks & even the Saints are out there with potential to move up.

There's just no way Willis & Pickett fall that far

Agreed.

I wouldn't mind Pickett if he fell but honestly at this point I really prefer to solidify the team this year and then wait on next years QB class.
