Steelers 2024 Offseason Thread

[Dickie Dunn]

There's obviously still work to be done, but two off seasons of the Omar/Weidl combo has helped reinforce the mediocrity and overinflated reputation Colbert was bringing to the team. Another in a long list of football personnel who was unable to adapt to a changing league. I was against promoting Omar but have been very pleasantly surprised at how non-"Steelers Way" the approach has been from a 20+ year member of the front office.

Could check off that box with him.

He was booty last year in Detroit but he obviously did well in his role here

[Dickie Dunn]

Wasn't he just arrested for strangling his baby mama?

Just seems like they are following the "don't do stupid ****" motto.

Getting low-risk, high-reward picks at the top of the draft (Jones, Porter, Benton, Fatanu (learn to spell it later), and Frazier).

Then getting value with the risky picks (Washington, Trice, Payton Wilson). Those guys wont have 10+ year Steeler careers, but they will provide value on their rookie contracts and could be assets. And if they fail, it's not a big deal.

Just looking at the '20-'22 picks, it's great that they have Najee, Warren (non-drafted FA), Friermuth, and Pickens. But like, so many idiotic picks like Green, Leal, Loudermilk, Heyward. This year will be the first time they have roster depth.

I think I saw whatever it was he had a warrant for got dropped to a misdemeanor.

And I think he was miscast in Detroit as their #1 corner. I think him and Jackson as 2.a and 2.b would be perfect.

The Steeler way.

The Steeler way.

Maybe he was trying to baptize their child. From my understanding that makes it okay.

CB Hart or DT Wingo

[Troy Loney]

Or Johnny Wilson

Mason McCormick OG 6’4” 309 South Dakota State

[Troy Loney]

I know he was a favorite of the Drive podcast. Daniels’ replacement next year most likely.

[Ad@m]

There’re going to draft Devonshire with their last pick aren’t they?

[count2infinity]

I wouldn’t mind them taking a shot on Pratt in the 6th.

[Ad@m]

Logan Lee DT Iowa

Really solid draft.

I wouldn’t have hated it

Pack took him, so of course he’s going to be incredible.

Beanie Bishop, CB, West Virginia
Daijun Edwards, RB, Georgia
John Rhys Plumlee, QB, Central Florida
Julius Welschof, LB, Charlotte
Jacoby Windmon, LB, Michigan State

I really hate that AI looking steel worker image they’ve been using.

[shafnutz05]

I know it's all meaningless until they see the field but Steelers got an A or A- grade in most places.

[count2infinity]

PFF gave them an A+. Along side the eagles, saints, and colts.

[NTP66]

PFF can **** right off. Everyone else giving them high praise is good enough for me.
