2024 Offseason... FA, Draft, Staff, Camps, Etc

[Superbelt]

I would have strangled Canada for a misdemeanor…..

Diontae, George and Kenny, too.

All it took was 2 day 3 draft picks to get Diggs? And only 1 of those picks is for this year. Damn.

Another WR off the market. He signed in the CFL.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

I think they have enough TEs

Yeah not sure about this one other than being a Smith guy. Can't run block well but I guess is a good "extra" pass blocker and seems efficient in pass catching.

Hopefully he doesn't take away from Washington or Heyward on the roster.

We just traded for Eyefuck. 2024 2nd and 2025 4th.

Or maybe not... I think I got juked outa my shoes. Fuckin X.

Don't know if I believe this either:

So the draft is next week. What are we thinking here? Feels like if he’s there (and he should be) Barton will be the pick. I’m good with this. I think he’s the top center in the draft. Not a big JPJ fan like everyone else. Actually, would rather Frazier to JPJ even.

The other big needs are OT, WR, and CB. But I’ve got a boner for Maason Smith. Should be there in the third? We aren’t going to fill all the needs. Something has to give and hopefully they just take best player available and not reach to try and fix everything in a single draft.

Really like Ricky Pearsall for the Steelers.

Feels like Barton & Frazier are the top guys right now... The luster on JPJ has died a little but I'm still big on him. He dominated the 'best' competition at Senior Bowl. But honestly I'd be happy with any of those guys. The main question for the Steelers is, do they risk waiting until the 2nd Rd? When they would almost assuredly need to trade up to grab one of those guys, or hope a less polished prospect like SVP falls. All signs point to them waiting until the 2nd. Unless they can find a trade back scenario where they could grab both OC & OT in the top 50. That would be a homerun.

My prediction is they take a OT, CB or WR in the 1st and then trade up in the 2nd.

 

[Superbelt]

Trade back in the 1st round, and/or trade up in the 2nd.

I don't see them standing pat for both picks. The difference in OL between picks 20 - 28 won't be so big, a tradeback makes a ton of sense.

Like Face said, If they have a great option at OT, CB or WR at 20, they might take that there. And if they do, it becomes all the more important to trade up in the 2nd to grab an OC like Fraser.

After that mock, I'm turning into a real fan of seeing Drake Stoops on this team. Now I'll be disappointed if that doesn't happen.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

STOOP IT!

 

[Superbelt]

STOOP IT!

Stoop and Muth on the same field. The chants would be almost too much.

 

[Bridgeburner]

Lol. Stoops should be available as a UDFA?

I think if an OT falls that could be the pick. I'm just expecting them to go higher.

Would love to see a trade down. I don't want a WR outside the big three at 20. Maybe if they trade down? Just don't see a ton of difference between WR4 and WR10.

Agree on the WRs... And for a team that prides itself on finding WR gems in mid rounds, it would be quite a difference if they drafted one in the 1st Rd.

There's a T-shirt design somewhere in this... STOOOP & MOOOTH Chain-Moving Company

Maybe, maybe not. But I'm talking about him at the end of Round 6. I'd take him there, since we don't have a 7th.

With my stellar track record as an ignored scout of the Pittsburgh Steelers (they refuse to pay me or even let me in the building but no job is perfect) leads me to believe you've all been waiting for this. My initial Top 40 Rankings. If I was running the Steelers draft room I would be taking BPA from this list (minus players that don't schematically fit). If I needed a QB I would bump the QB up 5-6 spots but not more than that.
