Giving up 1st round picks.

Nico Iamaleava looked terrible in his UCLA debut last night. After holding out for more NIL money and leaving Tennessee he promptly crapped the bed by getting blown out by Utah.

 

Totally agree.
There are a few noteworthy games today to watch.
1st up. VA Tech/South Car.
2nd. Notre Dame/Miami

 

His arm strength seems to have significantly improved

He threw some darts

 

Good

With the draft capital I could see Omar moving up a bit if there is a guy they want

I do not see him using 2027 draft capital and definitely not the 1st

I could see Omar nit taking a QB at all if it requires a reach

 

I'm anxious to see Carson Beck with the Hurricanes. A couple of years ago he looked like the top QB in the nation before falling on hard times. Let's see if he has a revival at Miami.

 

targeting a Qb and getting to know what hes all about takes alot of work it seems, its more than watching a few games and tapes and an interview with the family where everyone is on their best behavior. Got to follow them from freshman year, go to the practices watch how they work, they're behavior in general….im sure some scouts do that, but maybe just a few

 

Drew Allar always had a cannon imo.


It is his overall footwork and mechanics that were in dire need of a tune up. He was much more mechanically sound yesterday than he was at any point in his PSU Career.

 

Tennessee's Joey Aguilar looked far superior in comparison.


@KnoxVegasSteel has to be over the moon as far as yesterday is concerned!

 

I still like the Picket pick, because it was only for the Steelers original 1st round pick and nothing more added in to move up. I was scarred that year that the Steelers were going to try and move up to take Picket early in the 1st round. The Steelers stayed right where they were at at selected the Top QB in the Draft. LOL.. Where did all those Malik Willis fanboys go?

I still don't like the fact that the Steelers are holding all these 2026 picks, and not using any of these extra picks in 2026, to improve the team in 2025. I fear the Steelers are holding these picks to move up in 2026 to get a Top 10 pick they can use it on a QB who may bomb just as hard. Question: Last 2 times the Steelers used multiple picks to move up gave us Broderick Jones and Devin Bush, both players leave much to be desired.

Fun Fact:
In the last 25 years, no quarterback selected with the first pick has won a Super Bowl with the team that selected him.

 

1: game does not make a season.

 

We agree to disagree, but the draft will be deep at QB and OL. Just like in the 2025 draft we knew it was going to be deep at DL and RB.

 

Nussmeier looked average but you were praising Taylen Green for playing against scrubs, make it make sense .

 

You need to go back , and read. I wasn't praising him. I was using him as an example of why You don't go by the 1st week, and what I've been trying to get through your thick skull.....it's too early to say anything. I also said about Qbs that played against real teams, and I didn't put him in it.
I tell You what.
Right this second, tell me the Qb you know for a fact is worth spending multiple draft picks to move up in the draft, and get, and we will look back at this, and see.

 

I would trade up for Allar for sure maybe less for Leavitt, we know you just want a CB in the first round .

 

Ok. I just screen shot this. I will bring it up at the end of the year.

 

Go right ahead and you will be eating crow

 

Maybe, but I will admit if I was wrong.

 

If Allar balls out against Ohio State or Oregon than he could shoot up to the #1 pick overall.

 

Sellers needs to stay another year. Needs much much work in his passing game.
Yet Rattler sucks and you have Sellers going high.
Also, lol at Allar. Wait until he plays a ranked team.

 

He is so OVERRATED

 

Overrated…

 

Wasn’t a good look that he left Ga
Must be the money
Still wasn’t a good look
This coming from NFL executives

 

And if he doesn’t

As in the past

 

That is the thing though.... We don't' have to reach per se. We have picks to trade if we want to move up and get the guy we truly want. It is just a matter of identifying who that person is and if they have what it takes.

I liked Allar, but I think he has a ceiling... he doesn't have NFL elite accuracy and I have yet to see him rise above and compete with an elite opponent. There is no reason he should have gone cold and choked like that against Notre Dame. Allar can only beat up on the scrubs.
