    1. Every pick we made can be classified as a major steal

    2. Quite a few teams knocked it out of the park in this draft

    3. All these monster O-linemen getting drafted is a direct response to the tush push

    4. While there were a few great draft haul, there were also a few hiccups (Cincinnati)

    5. Cleveland stockpiling QB'S makes me wonder if they're gonna dangle some trade bait

    6. Speaking of the Browns QB'S, Shedeur Sanders would've been better off in silver and black

    7. Jacksonville, New England and Carolina, had good drafts, but will still be picking in the top 5 next season

    8. Watch out for Arizona this coming season

    9. The AFC still currently belongs to the Chiefs, but Buffalo and Baltimore have narrowed the gap something fierce

    10. This season can't start soon enough

    On #7: First, it’s the Browns who will get that top 5 Jacksonville pick. Dumbass Jags. Second, I predict that the Pats win 6-8 games this season and challenge for #2 in the AFC East. I’ll be surprised if they pick top 5 next year.

    I hope the jags will be back to what they were in 2022 and 2023 or the browns will have a very high pick,maybe 2....

    If the Browns do not mess it up, that itself is a stretch, they have put themselves in a place to do what Houston did a few years back. They had a good draft, have to capitol to go in many directions next year. Issue for them, does the owner stay the course, get tired of the current regime and blow things up, it seems to never end well in the mistake by the lake. lol

    The Jags brought in Seth Henigan as an UDFA. Trevor Lawrence better pick up the pace. From what I have seen, Henigan can do what Lawrence has shown for much cheaper.

    Henigan and another 50+ guys. Lawrence has been a big disappointment.

    The Browns: "We're drafting QBs and signing FA QBs until we get it right this year."

    It's sad to say but that's just what Steelers have been doing since Ben retired... Hopefully steelers "get it right" sooner than the Browns.

    We filled our needs, except SS and CB2. Maybe we do something with those later

    Both needs are filled with Slay and Elliot.

    Ill give you Elliot. Forgot about him. But Slay is 34 years old. We tried this kind of thing before with Peterson.

    they could ride with slay and JP jr, and Minkah and DE in the backfield for a year, but they need to address CB2 and perhaps Minkah’s replacement in 26.

    Are you suggesting the Browns' approach is the one Steelers should follow?

    Not really, but I'd like to have Green Bay's success rate since about '92.

    Love's progress looked a little flat last year compared with how he finished 2023, but next year LaFleur gets to scheme him with Golden, Reed, Doubs, Wiliams and Kraft.

    Not too shabby.

    Big?!


    Try massive. Shahid Khans hiring of Urban Meyer didn't help but Trevor hasn't helped himself since 2022.

    1. Day three was a rock solid one for sure. Don't Kent is the only one I have pause. This is also accounting for the fact that Sebastian Castro from Iowa was picked up by the team. A very dependable and reliable player.


    2. Seattle, Miami, Philadelphia (as they often do), Baltimore (to the surprise of no one), Houston, Indianapolis, both New York Teams and Tennessee all had great hauls. Cleveland is a bit overrated in my opinion while Jacksonville is pinning all their hopes on Trevor finally putting it all together.


    3. I say this is more so a direct response to the ass kicking Mahomes received in the Super Bowl. This isn't the first time the league has seen Patty have his ass handed to him either. Gotta invest up front for that is where games are won and lost.


    4. Cincinnati, Carolina (Days 1 and 3), Denver, New Orleans (Day 2) and to a lesser extent in Washington (Josh Conerly Jr) were my biggest lovers. Cincy though is the worst for as much as I love Shemar Stewart, he isn't nearly as ready as others would make one believe.


    5. I doubt it. May the best man win for 2025. As for 2026, as I said in the Official Draft Discussion thread, Cleveland is looking to pull one on Pittsburgh. What better way to do so than in their own home of Pittsburgh during the draft?! That said, for their sake, Nico Iamalaeva better have a CFP season for the ages.


    6. Honestly thought that is where he would go in all honesty. Really thought that Las Vegas would have targeted him in the third. Offensive Line was still a major need for sure but Shedeur going there would have been my other target.


    7. Yes to both Jacksonville and New England. That said, I do like New England's prospects of having a winning record this season. Same goes for Carolina. However, Bryce Young needs to continue to put it all together. He did so a bit in the second half of last season. Now armed with better protection and some better weapons, this is it for him. Put up or shut up time.


    8. Houston is the team I am most looking forward to in all honestly. That Left Tackle situation still has me worried but hopefully Aireontae Ersey is a quick study there. As for the NFC?! Green Bay is my sleeper pick. Jordan Love now has weapons he can depend on. All on him.


    9. Add Houston and the Los Angeles Chargers to the list as well. Justin Herebet still needs to come up clutch when he is called upon though. I trust that C.J. Stroud can now take an even bigger step in 2025 than he did in 2024.


    10. 1000%. Just need the schedule drop and I am good.

    Yes, a non-Brown approach.

    You even watch Seinfeld? If so, remember the episode where George decided to do the opposite of what normally he'd do? Steelers should just do the opposite of what Browns would do in the same situation.

    BTW, I know you're just trolling...

    And they still paid him over 200 million, and they wonder why they can't field a competitive team. Jags really dropped the
    ball and have hurt our chances in the 2026 QB race

    It was a serious question

    Some people just can’t give a simple intelligent answer

    @Thor@Thor was able to
