    He is small for my liking, hence why I want DL beefed up.
    also Steeler defense requires above average pass coverage skills
    Very important.

    Ravens drafted Simpson from Clemson last year, so they are probably still in good shape at ILB.

    I don't know where we are sitting in cap space. But taking ilb off of needs. We now can use a third to move up in the second off we need to.

    If that's true, I think we go CB Kool-aid and then getting one of the top 4 centers in the second with moving up...... but they might surprised me and go RT with that Georgia or Alabama. And then go center with moving up in the second.

    I turned on the NFL Network to see their reaction on the Queen signing and after watching for an hour they never mentioned it.

    He started slow there but has been a different player the last two years. If we get the same sort of production from him he’ll be a great pick up.

    I’m not sure what your expectation are for a late first rounder, but 2nd team All Pro would suggest he’s proved his value as a day one pick.

    And when Ravens traded for Roquan Smith, it seemed to me more of a ‘win now’ move to bring in another playmaker to get them over the line than a desperate attempt to fix a glaring hole on their D.

    Got a link?

    I haven't seen anything indicating that.


    The 2020 unit was third in the league in both yards and points allowed.

    They talked about it quite a bit right after it happened. NFL Total Access is on @ 7pm. I'm sure they'll mention it.

    You’re getting all critical for nothing. Have some patience. We’ve now signed three players and Free Agency hasn’t officially begun.

    CINCINNATI -- Joe Burrow is still sketching out his recovery timeline after surgery to repair a torn wrist ligament in his throwing hand.

    But if things continue to go according to plan, the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback has a date set on when he is likely to be completely cleared this offseason.


    "I think middle of May is when I am expecting to kind of be cleared for full contact and everything," Burrow told ESPN on Sunday. "Over the next month [to] month and a half, we'll kind of decide all those things."

    None of them.


    For that matter, the latest trade to move Diontae Johnson to Carolina for Donte Jackson places the team firmly in the drivers seat to select WR in Round 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft. If anything, this also explains the tremendous amount of WR Talent the Steelers were formally meeting at the Scouting Combine. Brian Thomas Jr. just became the biggest possible Round One target... unless the team really likes Adonai Mitchell from Texas.

    I can’t remember this much activity by the Steelers, ever, in the free agency window.

    Yeah, that's great, but right now there's no one to snap the ball and we're looking at another year of Moore at LT. I hope they sign a couple more good players. Still over $17M in cap room.

    I still want the OL in round 1. Historically we have been good at picking up WR's in later rounds.

    Colbert just overpaid guys already on the roster and refused to move around in the draft. Guy's a HOFer but really sucked his last several years.
