    whomever can learn from arth the best. who can be re-signable at the end of the rookie deal. don't screw over rudolph again because i think he falls into this category.

    shough has an age thing but i wouldn't be against it. if so i would like to see 2 signed. mccord i think fits the bill. howard would fit in with this group. ewers if these guys are gone.

    then i want a late guy or UDFA to hope for the brock purdy effect. henigan is one. jt daniels. cook. card. bachmeier. just give the team some consistency to work with.

    i'm not looking for an immediate terry bradshaw or ben in year one but start the process. there will be other drafts if needed. these guys will give them a starting point. they have all won a lot of games. none are perfect even the top of the chart but all are solid and i think can continue to get to where we need them to be. that's all i'm looking for. :cool:

    If you are wanting to know....

    Mel Kiper has Shedeur Sanders as the top-rated QB in this year's draft class and ranked Sanders as the overall 5th best player in the draft.

    "Think about his toughness, right?" said Kiper. "How bout the fact that he had no running game? Omarion Hampton and Ashton Jeanty had more rushing yards in two games than their leading rusher had the whole year. So he didn't have the benefit of a running game. He did not benefit from an offensive line that could block anybody... and he's accurate and he's precise. Everything everybody wants. Decision making, accuracy, toughness, he has."

    I am warming up to Howard or McCord in the mid rounds, and taking DL (Harmon) in the first.
    I still believe in Dart if he is available in round 1.

    I think that Rogers is in play this coming year. Dart, Howard, McCord all would be good chemistry with Rogers and Mason in QB room. Shough probably will be taken before pick 83, I feel.

    If Dart is there at pick 21 we can still get a good DL and running back in the mid rounds

    If Mason Rudolph is the starter for the 2025 season we are doomed. I think that no matter who gets drafted or where, MR will be the starter to begin the season. The question is who will be the better QB to learn the offense and take over the starter role sooner. Whoever we draft I just want them ready to take over this offense by week 8. No low wonderlic scores please.

    Ward and Sanders won't be available and Dart has the most upside of the QB's that are left but he is only 21 years old and it would be tough to throw a kid into the lineup. If we do go with Rudolph to start the season and after the inevitable 1-5 start then probably the best option would be Tyler Shough as a mid round pick. Shough has played 7 years of college football and turns 26 this season. He has more experience playing the position than any other QB coming out. Heck he has been in college so long that he was Justin Herbert's backup his first 2 years.

    It's a contract business, usually 4 years, called the window. It's not one year business.

    I convinced Rodgers is not coming and Rudolph is our starter. Lets see Mike get 9 wins with this team.

    Why wouldnt he be able to? Already did it with a combination of Pickett/Trubisky/Rudolph and Rudolph was the best of the three.

    Question: If this trade does happen would DK Metcalf get to go back to wearing #14 like he has done his entire Pro and College career??? Anyone buying those #4 Jerseys now?

    DK is still rolling with the DK14 on social media.

    It`s coming down the road, I can see it . For the 2026 season Tomlin will want Watson as QB after Browns release him. And the scary thing is GM Kahn will do it.

    The only person who calls it a window is you

    The average NFL career is 3.3 years so that implodes your 4 year nonsense

    Well that pretty well should clear up your confusion

    None the less the Steelers did give Mason 4 years you can find that fact here

    Correct

    But I bet someone will still try to disagree rather than admitting to being wrong on Pickett

    I have thus far only had a chance to watch a lot of film on 4 guys: Sanders, Dart, Milroe and McCord.

    I would seriously consider Dart at #21, but it would be a pick for 2026 and beyond. I think he has really solid long term potential. The end of the FL games makes me a bit nervous though.

    I still have trouble getting a feel for what Sanders can be because he just had so little blocking at Colorado. I think he’s a high floor, low ceiling average starting QB day 1 with limited upside beyond that.

    I like McCord as an option in the 3rd, but I could see the Steelers passing on him because he puts the ball in harms way too much. Definitely a gunslinger mentality.

    Milroe need a LOT of development. If we take him, I will root for him to learn and develop for us, but I won’t have a lot of optimism.

    I am going to try hard to find time to watch more Shough and Howard before the draft.
