What are Reasonable Expectations for Mike McCarthy in year one with the Steelers?

Not really. I don't remember anyone forcing them to draft Max by gunpoint. I believe there were hundreds of other picks they could have made

 

I get what You are getting at, but what Im saying is what if someone that was drafted after we took Max turns out to be HOF, well we could have draft him instead so the draft order really didn't matter

 

It matters

It is far from exact or certain

 

Kinda why I hate the direction of hiring McCarthy. We have youth to build around and guys like JPJ, Benton and Highsmith have been around long enough to provide veteran leadership. McCarthy, Rogers, TJ and Heyward is just more of the same instead of moving forward

 

To his credit MM brought in rising star Graham as DC. Some people are saying he's a future HC candidate. Graham's time with the Steelers likely will determine his future.
