    I think a couple of these picks are subject to change based on how much Fields and Wilson play this season. They will have 11 total picks that's enough to move up and draft a franchise QB, they might have to give up some picks in 2027 too.

    Wilson- players with 10+ seasons accrued may yield no more than a fifth round pick, even if their compensation would otherwise be assigned higher.

    So if you look at the draft pick value chart and assume that we get the first comp pick of each of those rounds based on where this year’s comp picks were in each round, that’s a total of 181 points. That’s equivalent to a mid 3rd round pick. The buying power of all 4 of those comp picks combined could move us up from pick 20 to pick 16, maybe 15. If we have a bad year and pick 15, they can get us to 12. The only way to make really big moves is trading future 1st round picks.

    They’re just someone’s guess based on free agent contracts. Actual awards won’t happen until next year.

    One of the reason that it would be better for the steelers to finish at 5-12 instead of 9-8 or 10-7,so if the steelers start the season at 2-6 like in 2022,it will be the time to tank to be better in the long run

    NEVER tank. Do you want to instill a losing culture in our players? Every players should be balling out 100% on every snap.

    Fine, but it is possible to give more playing time to your young players to evaluate them instead of trying to win at all costs even if the chances at making the playoffs are slim to none.

    My point with them having 11 picks they can offer their first and second in 2026, then offer a third in 2026 and some picks in 2027 if they're desperate enough.

    You must always win at all cost, you never know when it will be your last....as a coach, a player, or a fan, and you never know how things will play out in the end. I'm telling you the 1st SB we won with Ben, nobody by week 13 thought we had a chance . We had just got spank on Monday night by Indy, and then turned around, and got beat by Cincinnati...Exact words....going to get bounced again, even if we fluke make it to the playoffs...Cowher can't win the big games.

    They were still at 7-5 in a very strong AFC and only one game back from a playoff spot behind the chargers and chiefs,both at 8-4 and both of those teams had a tough schedule.But when you are at 2-6(like in 2022) and your chance at making the playoffs are slim to none,better in the long run to start to evaluate your young players

    He's notorious for posting things that hold not truth.

    Some people believe anything just because they see a media person say it.

    No wonder the stock market almost crashed a few years ago when an AI image came out saying the pentagon was on fire and we were under attack.

    To many people just run to believe things without investigating. Screenshot_20250429_205354_Chrome.jpg
