    That 3rd is early, I like that.

    Where did the other 2 third rd picks come from? Theres our regular pick, plus the comp and one more to account for.

    Losing Seumalo, Gainwell and Pierre should get us a decent haul next yr as well

    As an added bonus, because Tampa Bay removed a year from Dean's contract and reduced his salary he won't count against the Steelers' compensatory formula in the 2027 NFL Draft.

    It sure looks like they really like the way things are playing out for them this year with the extra picks. They are in a good position to do the same next year as well.

    At some point they have to pull the trigger on moving up to grab a player they simply gotta have. Maybe a quarterback? :beg:

    It feels like we have waited a lifetime. Like dog years long.

    That's a savvy move by Khan. They are setting the table.
