I honestly don't see the point in cheering for the Steelers to lose. The most important position they need to fill is LT and you're probably going to have all choices of LT you want regardless of whether you're picking #3 overall or #10 overall.

It's not like they're at risk of missing out on a huge position of need by winning, so it's mostly whatever. They're going to finish like 7-10 and pick around 10th overall. Based on the mock drafts I'm seeing, I think they should be able to get a LT with that pick. If not, there are quite a few good CBs available that also fill a big need.

It’s gonna be so annoying to listen to people if they take Porter Jr but he’d legit be a really good pick for this team.

I’m also 100% on board with trading Johnson at this point if they can use whatever picks they would get for him to make a move for Addison.



Losing every game just isn’t good for a young team. Having Pickett successfully lead a comeback drive is a good thing.

I think Porter would be great here.

My ideal draft right now has us taking Skoronski and Porter. If we can trade Johnson, we can use what we get from him to move up maybe in the 1st to get a shot at Porter.

The higher we are, the more flexibility we have to move around and pick up more assets.

Naw , I think 8th or so based on the number of teams with 8 or more losses

Steelers now have the 12th pick. When 3 or more teams are tied it goes by Strength of Schedule and the Steelers have one of the toughest. The NFL gives the higher pick to the teams that play the easier schedule.

The higher the pick the better the trade chip. They can get a solid LT and also leverage the pick to get another pick out of the draft.

If I'm going personality disorders in receivers, give me the sociopath over the decent guy with self-doubt. At this point I'm down to admit that Diontae shrinks when the moment is bigger. He is not a winning player. Depending on the return and the dead cap, if we get something good we have to move on.
 
Highsmith just hit double digit sacks and still has six games to go.

He needs 6 sacks to tie Deebo for second all time single season franchise record (16).

All old, slow QBs not named Tom Brady suck. Maybe now Indy finally gets the memo.

And even Brady is done mobility and youth are in

Most teams only trade up for a Qb and 3 will go in the top 10 we are more likely to trade back into the 1st then trade back and pick up picks
 
We have the highest paid D in the league yet we have 4 good defensive players.
Also, is TJ hurt again? He was invisible tonight.

Again, I don’t see it that way TBTH.

KP is actively making intelligent decisions when nothing is there and throwing balls away now.

That’s what we were begging him to do early on when he was playing hero ball and tossing a lot of picks.

It shows growth and maturity.

That’s exactly what we want to see, not some bonehead that keeps making the same mistakes over and over.

Yeah, the thing you wanted to see out of Pickett is progression and he’s clearly showing that. He’s learning what he can and can’t do based on his early season interceptions and playing more within his capabilities. He’s not trying to play hero ball anymore.

Since the bye week, Pickett is 2-1 while averaging about 250 net yards per game (210 passing, 40 rushing) and not throwing any interceptions, and the team is averaging about 25 points per game. It’s not anything incredible, but it’s clear progression. Had the defense not shit itself against Cincinnati last week, Pickett would be 3-0 since the bye week.

I thought PIckett played well. Something that I think is lost on a lot of people is Pickett spent most of training camp with the 3's. He is progressing and getting more comfortable. Snell had a good game. Pickens had some weird drops that are uncharacteristic. I think Pickett's comfort with Pickens and Freiermuth is a really good thing. I thought the line played well. The $108m defense underwhelmed, IMO.
 
I don't think Watt was invisible. I think Matty Ice is washed and can't or won't throw downfield. There wasn't much time to get home.

Every qb under Canada throws way too many checkdowns but Kenny looked like Brett Favre by comparison to Ryan yesterday.

Btw, I like the ball security, but red zone passing is still a massive issue. The Steelers need more passing td's. It didn't help that DJ dropped one last night.
