That is Ben's birthday.

That is why I'm worried about this draft. I figure that Burns and Davis will both see very limited time this season.

They both won't start until 2017-18. That means they won't have any experience as starters until 2018-19.

In 2018-19 Ben will be 36.

That is a very small window to win another Superbowl with anaccomplished, veteran secondary in the best case scenario.

The Steelers have to change it up. Artie or Senquez needs to start by October so that he has experience by January.

 

You never know. Some players can surprise. The Steelers fortunes next season will come down to whether they can keep their starters on offense healthy.

 

I think Dick LeBeau's idea of sitting a draft guy too long is gone. Love DL but hated that he did that. I think we will see Grant and Golsen early too to get a good look at them. They (last year and this year draftees) may all play a lot in pre season

 

I think you play the best guys.I don't really value know how over talent .You can have all the know how in the world , but if you lack the talent you will never be better than average in the NFL .

 

I'm thinking the young guys don't see much of the field till mid season. Some nickle dime stuff second half. Ready to be a true contibuter after they have 1 full season of learning. Now with that said, the playoffs do come right after 1 full season. If we make the playoffs and they contribute well then, life will be good.
