    Steelers got a B for what it’s worth saying Leal has vast potential. I still have a feeling that signing means Tuitt is not coming back.

    All team grades can be read here:

    It's always funny year after year when they say the worst teams in the league had the best draft and the best teams in the league failed to address their biggest needs. And by the end of the season things remain unchanged.

    I don't agree with that. Whether or not Tuitt comes back, the defensive line needs some youth.

    Tuitt, Alalu, and Wormley all are free agents after the 2022 season, I still think Tuitt plays this season.

    I don't pay much attention to grades much until the players hit the field. Chit sometimes looks good on paper until the rubber meets the road.

    Possibly but this guy has starter capabilities, Tuitt is only 28 and even Heyward has 2 or 3 more years left.

    Just a gut feeling with the whole Tuitt situation.

    As I've written before, the grades are not the writer explaining why they weren't able to predict what the teams would do,
    but why teams are idiots for not drafting the way the writer wanted.

    My biggest concern is they did not draft a single Olineman. That position needs more attention than a 2nd QB, TE and LB. Because of that I rate it a B-.

    They addressed it in FA, have some.youth on the line and I believe open to further moves when the June cuts come.

    I agree, man. Our O-line is average, at best. Also, and maybe I'm going crazy here, but I may be the only person on this planet who thinks Tribumski will NOT be an upgrade over Rudolph...I'm not drunk right now, not on meds, and I'm not 95 years old, either. Just think Tribumski is practice squad bound.

    Rudolph was neck an neck with The Duck, it wouldn't surprise me if he isn't even on the team when the season starts.

    I would still love if they brought in Justin Jackson to back up Najee ( always liked him ) But I'm imagining him probably looking for a team with a little more of an opportunity

    It wouldn't surprise me either but given they like to keep three I think he stays unless he requests release or they can get something via trade.

    Steelers pick up the highest drafted QB, go back since NFLN’s existence and tell me when they ever didn’t give the team with highest drafted QB an A

    Because most of the worst teams in the nfl don't have a qb. In today's world you're very likely not going anywhere without him no matter how great your roster is. If you take away the qbs of majority of the best teams they'd then become some of the worst in the nfl.

    No grade until we see how good Pickett is. The rest of the draft could be all great but if he busts the draft is a failure. If he's great and everybody else is trash then the draft is a success because they got the guy.

    If being not even 40 years old and retired is lazy to you, then I'm cool with that.

    Glad we got Pickett. He has the IT factor and we already have a decent team around him. I laugh at the haters that don't even give him a chance before he takes his first snap.
