Tell me about this 2025 QB class.

This isnt entirely true.

Troy Fautanu never received a Dinner with the team. He was met by the team before the Pro Day though. Broderick Jones did have a Pro Day Dinner but not during his Draft Year in 2023; 2022 as the team was there to scout George Pickens. Kenny Pickett also didnt have a Pro Day Dinner but he is an outlier given he was at Pitt.


Overall, much of the Pro Day Dinner aspects of Scouting that the Steelers had done to determine a First Round Pick was done heavily through Kevin Colberts tenure. Now with Omar Khan?! Pre Draft Visits are a staple.


Troy Fautanu is the current biggest example; the aforementioned Private Meeting being likely something unrelated to it.

 

I wouldn't be opposed to them drafting a mid teir QB this year and drafting one next year also. I love this team, but in today's league you need an elite QB imo

 

Tomlin would have ruined Tom Brady or even possibly Payton Manning. As a HC he wants total control of everything. The only coach that he has somewhat of a hands off approach with is ST’s coach Danny Smith. All other assistant coaches seem to have a very short leash.

 

I’m not sold on his talent level personally I’m not impressed

He will be a bigger pain in the ass than Rodgers was

Just my random thought of the day

 

A bigger Pain in the Ass than Rodgers? I’m not even sure Internal and external hemmeroids, 2 gerbils and a mountain bike with no seat could be bigger.

 

Except Ben thrived with the Steelers being right behind Manning and Brady in the AFC.

 

Ben was kept on a very tight leash for the first 3 qtrs of most games and then started calling audibles for many 4th qtr comebacks. Brady and Manning were given full control of their offenses from the coin flip on.

 

All signs say yes, he'll be that good. There is no sure thing. He was the most coveted HS QB in his recruiting (er, mercenary for $$$) class. Surely his name has him a bit OVERRATED, but he still could be overrated and the best QB draftee in 5 years.

Other than Texas having a good, not great Ewers starting, which may have actually held back Texas offense a bit compared to Manning, all signs are pointing up.

This Manning even has some serious wheels.

Reports of course, who knows official stuff:

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• 40-yard Dash Time: Manning's 40-yard dash time is reported as 4.62 seconds.
• Source: This information comes from NFL Draft Buzz and Diario AS.
• Other Measurables: Manning's height is listed as 6-4, and his weight is 225 pounds.
• Speed: He has been clocked at speeds exceeding 20 mph, including a speed of over 20.3 mph, which is faster than NFL star Tyreek Hill's speed of 20.1 mph.
• Dual-Threat Potential: Manning's athleticism and speed as a dual-threat quarterback have generated excitement about his potential for the Longhorns offense.

Before enrolling at Texas, Manning ran a 4.6 second 40-yard dash, according to On3.com.

 

Not very impressive, sounds alot like this class...sans Manning.

 

All of those guys might go in the first round next year, this year only 2-3 QBs will go in the first round.

 

I am hearing he won't get past the Saints@#9???

 

Add Garrett Nussmeir from LSU on the list. With a good senior season in 2025 he could easily be a first round pick.

 

Coaches son also, should know some things about reading defenses? I am wanting
to see SamLeavitt, the ASU QB Hines Ward speaks about.

 

Agree. And don't be surprised if DJ Lagway is top 2 or 3 QB in the SEC next year.

 

Guess who else at 6'5 225 lbs ran a 4.6 40
...

Tyler Shough

 

To put it in perspective, Nico and that guy from Florida, Lagway, their freshman year tape is better than Sanders , w both of those guys the word dangerous comes to mind, interested in both of their progression, Lagway dealing with injury right now

 

If Sellers develops, he could be a beast.

 

Lagway has two more years of college before he's eligible for the NFL.

 

"might" leaves a lot of wiggle room.

If the other positions are weak, then yeah, QBs move up. Doesn't necessarily mean QBs are all that.

I looked at that list, I don't see any "franchise", top 3 type QBs, again, sans Manning. That's a group of a few first, few second and few third round picks. Not bad, not exicting.

 

That's cool, I'd rather have Manning and would give up 5 Shough's to get him. Shough was in college ball for 6 years. Another LATE bloomer (similar to Pickett). A bad sign. Doesn't mean he can't be good in NFL, but it certainly is a RED flag.

That said, Shough, would be a solid get, just not with pick 21. If he is there 3rd or 4th, fine.

We definitely need to draft a QB. Given our need at DL, seems likely 1st and 3rd round pick will be have one DL, QB or RB. Round 4 would probably be whateve of those three wasn't taken.

 

I agree to not taking Shough at pick 21
