Yup. That one annoyed me, but I can't say I'm surprised at a Tomlin team passing on a turnover-prone quarterback.
That's exactly what they are going to do, at least some of the time. The question is how much. It is ridiculous to claim they drafted the kid to sit.
Agreed, but I'm among those who think Johnson is going to step right in and play a big role. I know not everyone here agrees with that.
Third round guarantees nothing, but teams draft guys on day two expecting them to start at some point, if not as rookies. I highly doubt he will...
It could be part of planning for life without Watt, but they do rotate in four outside linebackers in the short term. Also, this may just be them...
Sanders or Howard here?
Agreed. I expect to see the sort of even split we probably would have seen with Warren and Harris had the former been healthy in 2024. Let's hope...
I think he was the one I heard ripping the Steelers, saying they made a huge mistake passing on Sanders in the first round. OF course, he was...
I doubt they drafted a running back that high to have him sit. Yes, he will have to learn to improve his pass blocking, but it is silly to think...
This makes no sense at all. They are different players, though the failure of that pick might be part of why the Steelers passed twice.
The former may be true, but we must see that at the pro level. I'm not sure where you are getting the latter part of that. One of the question...
Maybe, but that is a resource they could have used elsewhere and still had a solid backfield.
No, that logic does not work. A second-round tender does not guarantee a guy starts, especially at running back, where they can split the job or...
If he can pick up the blitzes and the scheme quickly, Johnson could start, or at least split the load with Warren. This pick tells me they don't...
I didn't want him in the first, but I thought he was a decent dart throw in the third round.
Especially because he can't. How the hell do you bring that up without knowing the answer?
I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Johnson get most of the carries that went to Harris in 2024.
That would only be for one season. They could have sat Sanders for a year, then let him compete for the job in year two.
I just posted this on the draft thread, but it works here, too. One of the main reasons I argued that the Steelers made a mistake in not...
Johnson was the top player left other than Sanders on quite a few boards. It isn't just the Steelers. The league doesn't think very much of...
