OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: New Quarter Backs for the Handball team!

[End of Line]

I endorse this feeling.

Art Vandelay would endorse it as well

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Talented WRs are a dime a dozen. Eleven picked so far. That is not far from the usual.

For whatever reason talented centers are not as valued but much rarer.

Khan-Weidle made the right call.

They can make a trade for a WR, use a couple of later picks on boom or bust options, or both.

You grab the harder to get first round quality talent. Especially when you invested first round picks in extremely physically gifted bookend tackles the previous two drafts. The three can grow together and play together for a decade plus.

For where this team was when Khan took over, couldn't be happier with the last two drafts. Steelers aren't a contender, yet, but they are certainly laying a foundation. If the o-line is really set for the next 5+ years (atleast) they can really start to focus on skill positions later.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Just trade a 3rd for Sutton instead, easy.

The Steelers cleared almost twenty million dollars in Cap space for a reason.

 

[Goalie_Bob]

My hope now is Jalen McMillan at 84.

But man. A lot of picks between then.

Seems like it was for Deebo but SF wants too much…

 

[WickedWrister]

I feel like being a decorated wrestler is really good for a center. Similar skills with leverage and whatnot.

I need to see Benton v Frazier on the wrestling mats...

Records in High School:
Frazier: 159-2
Benton: 127-8

 

[Coastal Kev]

Hard to complain….their online will be BOSS

 

[Jaded-Fan]

The thing with an offensive line is that they have to work as a unit. The heart of a line is the center and tackles. They just drafted three of the best athletes in those positions who are all about the same age.

Can you think of a better way to build a world class line for a decade plus?

 

[The Old Master]

if any team could get a top wr in the 3rd, it would be us.

Carlton Hasselrig did pretty well. I'm guessing Frazier isn't quite the freak he was, but 159-2 ain't bad.

Lets hope they all pan out/stay healthy. Broderick needs to make that year 2 leap.

Another obvious benefit that should go without saying: the fact that the Steelers have their LT, C and RT all on rookie deals for the next 3+ years (will be 4 years if they take Jones' 5th year option) should make it clear how they can be aggressive and spend more on skill positions like WR going forward.

 

[Pengwins]

Trade up for WR ?

 

[wheelz87]

My hope now is Jalen McMillan at 84.

But man. A lot of picks between then.

He’s my top guy too. Watched a lot of Washington down the stretch and he was a stud.

Guessing Benton faced tougher competition than Frazier did in WV. But still.

If they do that..no sign of that forthcoming

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Trade up for WR ?

Why?

At this point wait on the two thirds. Talented players will be there.

No doubt Penn State and Iowa

 

[WickedWrister]

Arthur Smith presser

 

[Jaded-Fan]

I wouldn't be surprised if Khan waits everyone out, as he did with Fields, and gets a WR trade on the cheap post draft.

 

[MrBrightside]

No doubt Penn State and Iowa

Well those were high school records. So Wisconsin versus WV.

 

[Pengwins]

Why?

I forgot they had 2 3rds. Nice !

They have like $20 million in cap space and just reworked Highsmith's deal. They're not doing that just for fun.

Bad news.

Nutting just bought the Steelers.
