OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: No 3peat for the Swifts

[bigdaddyk88]

Ya man, having a desperate need at a position is always a great drafting strategy.

Worked out great with Harris, Bush and KP!

And of course the draft always goes exactly how you need it, especially when you are down a premium pick and lose not only that pick, but maneuverability - cool.

The D just let up a franchise rushing record agt Baltimore in the playoffs, their only legit D-line is 35, the depth is atrocious, but they didn’t have a need to address the DL in FA.

Tomlin’s Steelers keep dropping turds everywhere and you keep telling me shit sandwiches are delicious.

They are retooling the dl room like they did with the o line. It’s not an overnight fix. They are not winning anything next season. It took Philly multiple years to build the trenches

I’m aware what they need to do, but suggesting they draft for need over BPA, is a time proven losing strategy.

It’s ok to admit they have completely mangled the last five years, with this off-season being absolutely caught with their dicks in their hands.

Or maybe the organization learned from the KP situation and wanted to have the line and play makers in place for the rookie
No need to draft to extend a window like Colbert did with ben. Now you would have to wait and give Tomlin and khan create

They learned from the KP situation by putting themselves in position to draft for need again in April?

That doesn’t make any sense.

And once again, nothing goes down in this org without Tomlin’s approval.

If he wanted a QB succession plan after Roth’s injury in 2019, the org would have went that way.

Tomlin being given absolute power by AR2 has turned the org into a laughingstock that’s now dumpster diving for QBs.

Trying to convince yourself this is all some part of their double secret grandmaster plan to become a legit contender is delusional as hell.

They have shit the bed for the last 5-6 years and what we are seeing now is the org caught with their pants down, scrambling to find a QB and being held hostage by some washed up fruitloop.

They aren’t drafting for need. The deepest position in this draft is DL TE and RB. Just like they drafted 4 o linemen in 2 years and all 4 will be starting next season they need to take a couple drafts fixing the dl. You know the Philly model
They aren’t being held hostage by anyone there’s a good chance neither RW or Rodgers are not starting anywhere week 1. Rodgers is trying to create a market and there isn’t any just like RW is going to Cleveland and the Giants.
It doesn’t matter who is the qb in 25. 25 is about the wr and o line growth. It’s about seeing if Trice can stay healthy and grow into cb2. Can JPJ learn from Sly.
Fans are crying about JF when Mason literally matched him in Tennessee in yards and 1 less total td.

Re a bunch of stuff on the last few pages -

- I count Rudolph as an attempt to replace Ben. A long shot at doing so, but any Day 2 QB should come with a potential starter label, nevermind one they talk up a bunch.

- Given the gestational period of the average DL prospect, even in the 1st round, I wanted them to at least keep Ogunjobi or replace him like for like *and* draft high because the DL is a mess. So, yes, I did think they might sign a high end DL and draft high. Given how their entire defensive strategy is "our DL + OLB > your OL", I think it would have been a good idea.

- Also, while acknowledging the draft is strong, locking themselves in having to draft a certain position rather than being free to take a high quality surprise/steer away if things go pear shaped is indeed not good.

- Given how the org effectively leaked that they wanted Fields and then didn't get him because of an outbid they could have matched, I think it's reasonable for fans to be angsty over the situation, particularly when plan B looks as labored as the after-effects of an opiate and Taco Bell binge.

- Which, as a knock on, could be messy for them next year. A substantial amount of sports is belief. The Steelers have very little from their fanbase and their PR moves are actively confusing people. Admittedly, I want the mess that'd come with booing, but the team wouldn't and the fact they don't seem to realise how close that is doesn't fill me with faith for their understanding of other matters.
