Sorsby to enter supplemental draft

Mike McCarthy and the Steelers already have a reclamation project in Drew Allar. Drafting Sorsby would tell me that the team clearly doesn't believe that Allar has progressed enough for them to feel comfortable in his development. In addition, Will Howard would be seen as not being a potential solution either. Even if I were to award the aforementioned statements of both Allar and Howard, Sorsby's issues Off the Field are a massive risk.


I wouldn't roll the dice on him.

 

I think Sorsby would have needed a good 2026 to go in the 1st round this year. A lot of people would have said Drew Allar was going to be a 2026 first round pick before the college season began.

For the supplemental draft I wouldn't give over a 3rd round pick.

And, I still think the NFL is going to pull something out of their Ass to make it so Sorsby is not allowed to play in 2026. Maybe the NFL could ban him from the supplemental draft because of the judges ruling that he is allowed to play in college this year. The deadline to apply for the NFL supplemental draft is June 22, so if the NFL can just hold off his eligibility for another week.

Heard on radio today
Under 24 starts
Only 1 qb ever with under 24 starts succeeded as a starter in NFL
Cam Newton
Sorsby is a career 3 stringer in NFL
Hold on
Ty Simpson got drafted 15 overall
So I guess anything is possible

 

The Steelers are looking for their QB of the future and Sorsby won't require a first round pick, so I think he makes a lot of sense. Problem is if they go with Rodgers / Sorsby / Allar with the two kids fighting it out for the QB2 role it means if Rodgers goes down for a long duration the season is over.

But then again I don't think Howard is the QBotF because his arm is limited. He's a Cousins type talent, where Cousins probably has the stronger arm, so I'd say QB2 is his future at best. This is McCarthy's first season, so it's a good time to load up some young QB talent in that room. And I think he's more likely to win a QB battle early between those two rooks, because I think Allar's more of a project with his feet.

Sorsby has a chance to start. He's not a slam dunk type who goes up high, more of a round 3 type, but he is an intriguing talent. Tough, feels like a fit for Pittsburgh to me. Question is are they willing to go with two rooks behind Rodgers. Because that's what it'll be if they take him.

If it was me, I'd put in a round 2 bid on him (he's a round 3 pick value to me, but the Steelers are not going to win with a round 3 bid). My rationale here is that if Rodgers stays healthy we're going to pick late in the round as a playoff team in the 2027 draft. And if he doesn't, it's gonna be nice to have a second young QB representing a shot at a future starter. Competition is always good in my book.

But I don't expect the Steelers to do that. I think their love affair with Howard needs to run its course, and for this season he offers a stronger QB2 option than either rook would.

 

I don’t want to be the Browns and just throw something at the wall and see what sticks. I keep on hearing good things from camp about Howard and Allar has potential. Develop them before we spend draft capital on a guy who has a 13-18 record

 

Is it just me or does Sorsby sound like a nut case

And then I thought I read hear that MM likes to get players who have played a lot in college

talk about a guy with a high potential of not being offered a fifth year option

 

Take it back

Now you just take that back right now

 

Stupidity and ignorance are not a defense. He would have to be both to think that way.

 

Dan Patrick was discussing that Sorsby's suffered from panic attacks. I don't know much about all that or his eligibility battle, but I will officially change my previous opinion and say if that is true I wouldn't touch him.

 

Ok

It’s official not one of the GM caliber posters on this board think he would be worth going after

 

well they are acting like art hazlett the II. there is a difference though, even the browns put their QB's on the field first. ours are like AI is judging them hypothetically. i hope they don't turn this into a clown show.


Lord i apologize for that there ... and be with the starving pygmies in New Guinea. Amen.

 

The same good things we heard about Pickett in camp?? Remember 2023 preseason?

 

Dulac says Steelers will not put in a bid.

 

Well Cleveland has ignored character flaws on it’s qb’s lately.

They have early picks in round two and three, don’t they?

 

I don't see it that way.
More like if I am driving a project 65 Chevelle with a long way to go on work, and someone offers a 65 Chevelle in pristine condition and very little left to do, I'm going to have a long discussion with myself.
Do I spend lots of time and money with no doubts setbacks
or
Do I take a chance and just have piddly stuff left to do.

I doubt it becomes a concern for us. I don't the steelers rolling the dice and maybe that's the better decision.
Someone posted about some logic that they would use a 1st. I can't really see that. If they had 2 1st round picks, then I could see it as a possibility.
I'm more inclined to think they go with Allar and Howard.
They might have to carry 4 QB's this season but I think that will be proven out as training camp goes.

 

where does he rank amongst the QB's that will be in the next draft? many of them are known from last year as he is but we haven't seen them yet this year and it could fall much different than right now.

 

I guess that means they are putting in a bid, but hopefully not a high one. I wouldn't hate rolling the dice with a five or a six, but that would mean Howard is probably gone. I'm just not sure it fits after spending a No. 3 on Allar.

 

Agreed. Between the gambling addiction and the panic attacks, it sounds like Sorsby has some serious issues to work out.

 

If he does get in to the supplemental draft, how high do you think we'd have to bid to get him?

For example, if you think someone who picked in the top 20 in 2026 will put in a 3rd we have to put in a 2nd.

Two teams I've heard thrown around with this are the Browns and Jets. We'd have to bid a round higher than either of them to get him.

Which I think underlines how it isn't going to happen.

If this was last year, then maybe it would make sense because we had so many picks. But I don't think bidding a round more than teams like the Browns and Jets is something the (risk averse) Steelers are going to be comfortable doing. Especially since we already have 4 QBs. Doing this means we'd have to cut bait on 2 QBs (probably Mason and Howard). And I don't think we'd do that either.

 

My gut reaction is that we should put in a low bid (5th or lower...but maybe as high as a 4th if they really liked him) to hedge against other teams not bidding.

But (1) I don't think we'd win the bid and (2) we already have a log jam at QB.

Another thing I heard today is that there will only be a week where he's available to do on site visits. So he'll probably only meet with 5-7 teams.

I can't see anyone putting in a high bid without doing a pretty extensive sit down with him.

And honestly, it would probably be very hard to have that kind of extensive interview 7 days in a row. This is probably especially for someone with mental health issues (gambling at least...Scribe said panic attacks too).

 

Watch him get drafted way low or not at all and he tries to go back to TT

 

Potential 1st. round talent what is a good risk vs. reward ? To me he probably would have went in the 1st this past draft and either higher in the !st. next draft or round #2 ..So the the risk reward value to me would be a 3rd.

I think Howard is the future as of right now could this kid be better ? He sure could ... Rumors that we could carry 4 QB'S so is he better than any of those ? Yes he is better than Mason by a mile.. I also give him a edge over Allar as a better passer with better technique.

I would like the fact of going into next season with 3 young QB'S and having our 1st. and 2nd. round picks,, in a QB draft year and we really would not need one ..This would give us lots of leverage and lots of ways to build around the young QB room.. I would go WR again if we could get 1 of the top 3 ,, our #1 and #2 are both 28 we need young WR'S who can play that decade at a high level with our Franchise QB ...

 

I think Teams will risk a 3rd. ? I hope its no one in top 20 as I think a 3rd. is a good risk for the Steelers.. How many Franchise QB'S have the Steelers hit on ? How many 3rd. round bust have they picked ?

Lots of value in giving MM 3 young guys at the same time to see if any of them can be the guy ? To me it looks like would I give Mason and a 3rd. for a potential starting QB or a strong back up ? My answer is yes ..

In a ideal situation 1 would be our Franchise QB and another 1 would look like he might be a Franchise QB as well ..This could work out great in a trade situation as Teams will give up the farm for a potential Franchise guy ..

 

Funny, I think you are describing a teenager..... Which Sorsby was when he made those bets his freshman year.
