    And folks will cite these same “experts” to say player A was a better prospect than player B, and that our front office screwed up

    To me, the fact that the Steelers didnt pivot to Concepcion or Boston means they didnt panic and went with their board.

    I think an argument can be made they ignored their board back when Cincy grabbed the DB everyone thought the Steelers were targeting and then sure enough, the Steelers stayed with DB and chose a guy most people had no idea who he was. I think they may have ignored higher graded players and drafted for need there.

    Max was also a need but so was WR and I think most people knew who Max was and I even saw a mock that had us taking him.

    And yet all of the red is the case for the chronic whiners who can’t think on their own

    The mocks didn't even have Love going in the first round, that's absurd.

    That's just it. When I'm looking at players, I don't care what teams the players go to.

    All I care about is how good I feel a player is, which players are on the board when the Steelers pick, and the team's needs. That's it.

    Obviously, I hope certain players drop so the team has a chance to draft a player I think is a difference-maker, but you can only worry about what you control.

    This 100%.
    I never had a Wr in the 1st for us. I had 3 different LT, and 2 different safeties . It just happens to be we didn't pick any of them in the 1st. LoL. So I end up hoping to be wrong, and the guys I wanted end up sucking, and the guy we got ends up being awesome.

    Interesting
    That a division rival would trade up with another division rival

    I think the steelers got it right this time. Iheanachor grew up playing soccer so he has good footwork, something our other tackles may not be as good at. Just a little key thing that i think will be big.
