Will you consider it a disaster of a draft if the Steelers start Saturday without having added a RB

When we draft Najee Harris he will not only take pressure off of Ben
this year but Sam Howell next year who will need a big time running game
until he adapts to the speed of NFL. A successful run game takes so much pressure
off the QB, and if executed correctly will open up the passing game alot.
We will need to control TOP in our division if we are to compete with Ravens, Browns.

 

in order to have a successful run game you need an offensive line that can actually block. As it stands we don’t have one of those lines.

 

I thought we swept the Ravens, and soundly beat the Browns once.

 

we don't have the same players this year either strum. pouncey, AV, feiler gone and banner back. only one guy that played last year and he should be at a different position. TE will also be different besides ebron.

 

Thank you captain obvious! And where have we improved along the line from last year?

 

no need to get rude, just talking my friend. dotson and banner i believe will help the run game. we ran well when finney had to play as well, when he was here before. DD is a guy that IF he gets back to form is still a good run blocker. not to mention a whole new run scheme.

 

decastronis at the end of his career. The likelihood of him returning to his old form isn’t good. We saw one half of football from banner. He looked okay, but it was still just a half. His backup is now our starting left tackle. Dotson looked decent when he played, but yet once again in limited playing time. Center and tight end have also regressed. So yeah a first round running back is for teams that don’t need a lt, c, and te.

 

This all day. Humphrey/Dickerson, LT, Tremble before a RB for me and I'll be thrilled.

 

This is the only reason to root for the Steelers to spend a first on RB - if you're rooting for the tank.

 

I guess I am part of the majority according to some publications?

 

I have stated in numerous threads that our (Steelers) mindset must change
in regards to how they teach their OL and dedication of OL to want to run block. Along with
a run game coordinator teaching and game planning for their next opponent. I have also mentioned
that a RB will need help and that new and or aggressive OL will have to be brought in along with RB. I believe
I would get atleast 2 OL this draft alone.

 

If you think right now that we have more talent then Ravens and Browns on our roster than your a bigger homer than I am.

 

1. I'm the Biggest(Steelers Fan) Homer. LoL
2. I think they both have more talent, but lesser QBs.
3. Because of not paying QBs they can afford more talent.
4. Because they have more talent, and still can't dominate us(IMO) shows they have a lesser Qbs.
I'm not saying anything you don't know.

 

These are good points and both will be out of those cheap QB deals soon enough, while the Steelers will hopefully be starting one next year. Let's see how fast the Bengals can ramp up around Burrow.

If I'm the Bengals I trade back for more draft capital. So you miss out on Sewel, you still end up with a stud prospect and get more picks for all the holes you have.

 

At the moment, Kalen Ballage. If they draft Rhamondre Stevenson, there's another.

 

I think they do - Steelers have weaknesses/no depth at TE, RB, ILB, OL, EDGE, CB, S. For 2021 they're deep enough at QB and WR, but most of those guys are off the roster in 2022. DL is set for 2020, but aging.
