My thoughts on the 1st rd of the draft

1. We made the right decision getting Harmon

2. Can't imagine what's going on in Najee's mind right now

3. The Jags got an incredible talent, but gave up way too much to get him

4. Shedeur not getting picked is one of the all time shockers in draft history

5. A lot of teams are remembering that games are won up front

6. While I said that Harmon was the right choice, seeing Will Johnson slide had me debating a bit

7. I hate to say it, but the Ravens now have a top 5 Safety tandem

8. George Pickens unfollowed us on his Instagram, and we were in serious talks with Green Bay about trading him... then the Pack go and draft Golden.... can this relationship be healed, or is a trade still on the table???

9. After grabbing Jeanty, don't be surprised if the Raiders snatched Sanders to solidify their future offensive identity

10. Not sure what the Bears are thinking... . Cole Kmet was a big time weapon for them last season, and they go and draft his clone???

11. Cleveland got a beast on their defense and they grabɓed multiple picks... are they gonna build something real or are the Browns still gonna Brown

 

FYI - Pickens has followed and I followed the Steelers for years. This wasn't new and he hadn't followed them in a while

 

always enjoy your write ups

 

I agree mostly - but the Shedeur comment?

not a shocker to me.

Not many teams were seeking their #1 QB. Steelers have NO IDEA what to do with a Rookie QB - Khan knows that.

he will get drafted, I was not shocked.

Not sure what you mean by Najee Harris and "his mind?" He is who we thought he was. He is good - but value for that sort of back is just not in high demand. He does not have explosive 'home run' ability. and he is not a back with great hands, in a passing league.

regarding Pickens - GOOD RIDDANCE - been saying that for a YEAR! Hope we get GREAT VALUE for that idiot!

LOVE WHO WE DRAFTED.

NOW - TRADE TOMLIN!!!!!

 

Harmon is a solid pick. Solid kid with a high motor. He best get on the field ASAP.

Sanders might fall further. Not sold on his game and will bring an entitled attitude.

I don't believe they will trade Pickens.

3rd round I can see a running back.

 

I think we take Scattebo at pick 83.

 

On the possible Pickens trade. On Dan Patrick some NFL insider was speaking about trades in general, and specifically how it narrows going into the 2nd and beyond rounds. In GP's case, it comes down to someone who values and needs a possible one year rental to get them to the top. Is there someone in the draft that may be able to do that? He could be traded, but the destinations narrow and the compensation may become less than the steelers will taje.

 

So happy they passed up on Sanders. His WR that went second bailed him out of a bunch of bad passes that were almost picks. The Kid is way overrated. I don’t know what the bashing of Najee has anything to do with the draft. I still think he will have success in this league especially on that west coast offense under hairball. Kid can’t seem to get a break from some fans.

 

Nice read….. Disagree on Sanders , a lot of what I read was Cam would have been the 6th QB last year and Only Rd1 QB this year.

I was so scared they were going to reach and grab him or Dart @ 21. By the way I like Dart better.

Im hopeful for Slough or Ewers Rd 4 or later. Hope for a top RB in the 3rd.

Fearful McCord will be our 3rd pick . Will Howard if McCord is gone.

I’d Jump on Jalen Milroe in the 3rd BUT I believe the. Towns are about to take him in a few hours .

Today will be a tough day..... no picks until #83..... 2nd round always has some solid talent that we'll just have to watch get taken off the board.

I just looked and NFL.com has us projected to take Will Howard there and Cleveland to take Sanders in the 3rd..... yes the same people that had just taking Sanders at 21.

My son thought we'd trade up to get Sanders, while I thought he was WAY too risky and would slip out of the 1st.

 

Agree with the day one analysis by the OP.

My gut says Khan is probably going to do something in the 2nd round. Could trade away Pickens for a draft pick.

 

I`m pretty sure the Browns will snatch up Sanders. They have picks to burn.

 

If they trade Pickens then that leaves a huge hole at the WR position. They would essentially have to just draft his replacement and hope the talent they get doesn’t have issues. That not a gamble really worth taking.

 

Yeah, the Cleveland Browns love winning the offseason.

Browns came away the winner here, to move back 3 spots and pick up the 4th pick of the 2nd round and a 2026 1st round pick. (Great Trade for the Browns)

Now, the Browns being the Browns will use one of their early 2nd round picks to draft Milroe.

 

I don't think they will draft Skattebo he wasn't one of the 9 RBs that came in for a visit.

 

Not sure about that. Next year they have to compete with teams like the Browns and us, who appear to be laying the groundwork for moving up (not to mention teams like the Panthers, who if Young doesn't step it up will enter the market as well). The teams already having one will likely finish better than those without, making it more costly/difficult to get an elevated pick.

In then end, I think it will be the same for these teams as we've said about the Steelers - if they feel they've got their guy of the future, they'll pull the trigger. Otherwise they wait and pick up a depth piece.

 

Willing to come back and eat crow but I really don't see the Brownies taking Shadeur after signing both the one eyebrowed man and KFP

 

Khan may make it not so tough.

TRADE PICKENS, get some picks in Rd. 2!

I'd take a HIGH 2 for him + maybe a pick next year........or just a HIGH 2!

 

DRAFT a WR.

PICKENS HAS NO FUTURE HERE

 

I like Thornton from Tennesse in the fourth. Very underrated WR.

 

Sanders might drop farther because every GM is now thinking what does everyone else know

 

We drafted one with our second round pick

Pickens is here to stay

 

I think they believe in the coward KP

 

You forgot to have a take on the Giants drafting Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart QB.
