    I don't know how everybody else feels but I don't think the OL is done.

    We need to replace Moore(probably) and Seumalo definitely needs upgraded.

    I've only started recently but 4 names have me curious. Some you may have heard of. These are guys who will probably go top 2 rds.

    Cameron Williams T Texas, Tyler Booker G Bama(has played some T), Aireontae Ersery T Minnesota(my current fav, think Broderick body type and athleticism except he's 6'6 330 lbs!), and Fraziers teammate Wyatt Milum T WV.

    I hope I get to see these guys at the senior bowl. Just giving you guys a starting point if you're looking to get into OL.

    If you guys discover guys you like, please share.

    mccorrmick needs a lot of refinement if he's going to remain the starter. i like the kid but he is not that good and makes a lot of mistakes. the two guards from georgia are my top two. :cool:

    Would rather they resign Daniels and move McCormick to left guard. We’ve invested a ton of draft capital into the line recently. It’s time to focus on the DL

    Been trying to fix both OL and DL in recent drafts. They will keep building both until we get right.

    When is the last time we spent a 1st on the dl? I know people are frustrated about the line, but it takes time for a unit to start working together as one. We have the pieces just need the time.

    A 1st on DL is probably TJ. I know he's not DL but he's part of the front 4 on most downs. A true DL may go all the way back to Cam. Was Tuitt in the 2nd?


    It does take time for OL to gel and get used to each other. When 21 comes around, I do not expect another OL pick. Just saying I would not be shocked. Although I would prefer another Cam personally.

    Finding an exceptional o-line coach is the most important thing to do. The Steelers can't afford to draft more o-linemen, unless a Quentin Nelson-type falls in your lap.

    Tuitt was a second. I want another Cam type and a nt(more like Hargrave than Hampton). Release Larry O and move Benton over. Adams works in a pinch at nt (usually), but don’t want him as a #1. Have to decide what to do about Holcomb and Roberts.

    we could easily sign a vet to the DL. mccorrmick went backwards. daniels coming off a major injury would be a gamble. seumalo is in his final season and not what he once was. i say since we have invested in 4 so far, finish the job. herbig is gone. daniels is gone. moore is gone. i don't know strummer, i guess we could hit up free agency for either line but we sure need to. :cool:

    I could see Holcomb getting released with a salary of like 6 million in 2025, they should re-sign Roberts he said after the playoff game he wants to return to the Steelers FWIW.
