    Ironic that we want a top level QB next spring but also want a season where many teams pick before us. Only if it got ugly early would I hope we tank but even then I just can't see rooting for a loss to get a good draft pick.

    No need to tank to get him. They can trade up and use picks. They have a solid nucleus of players.

    Yea yea the offensive line. They will get better and gel. Young and hungry. Just watch.

    Yea yea the secondary. This group even after Haden and Edmonds leaves should be fine.. Sutton, Pierre and Norwood are home grown talent. Finally!

    The bottom line is behind Ben they're no true starters for the long term as stated in the story. It's overdue to draft the next franchise QB. Way overdue whether its Howell or someone else.

    Reminds me too much of Baker Mayflower.

    Therefore I hate him already.

    He has some room to grow ,but he can throw and he can run he has nice touch on mid to deep routes and fairly good placement on short routes ..IMO he has a solid chance of becoming a top NFL QB in the right system.. I think he fits nicely with what will be our new system..

    Could be a year to grab a QB round 1, doesn't seem to be a big year for college QBs coming out.

    I see the Texans and the Washington WTF's looking for QB.

    Texans and that Watson thing isn't going to ever end pretty.

    A lot of teams that will probably have poor years just drafted a slew of Rookies the last draft at QB.

    They can do that at their place quite often. He is a top ten pick and hope
    the steelers are in the sweepstakes for him,

    There will be better QBs available than Howell, not interested in him at all.

    New England got their QB at #15 in Mac Jones, Baltimore got Lamar Jackson at the end of the first round, they don't need a top 10 pick to get a QB.

    Taking a lot of sacks is usually on the offensive line, anyone know how good NC is considered in that area?
    I think that Howell is probably pick of the 2022 Quarterback litter at this point, but the Steelers probably won’t have a shot at drafting him.
    Unless, of course, they trade James Washington and a draft pick to move up in the first….

    colbert is going to retire but makes the picks before he goes. that just seems so odd to me and a hey look at me moment. his ego needs to be checked at the door. who does this? who would want the job with him doing this? why would they let this be done? :cool:

    I don't know how many of you watched Hard Knocks but I'd trade Rudolph to the Cowboys for Alarcon and a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

    They will get their qb, they will have many options no matter where they finish.

    Go watch Howell against Virginia Tech and see if he looks like a top 5 pick.

    Like I pointed out va tech does this to a lot of teams at their. Home stadium. Maybe Howells supporting cast is not that good? Football is the ultimate team game.A lot needs to happen for teams to be good. LookatBama Georgia, Clemson. They are head and shoulders above every one else because they have 5 star recruits at most positions,
