OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Off Season We dont need a QB Edition

[WickedWrister]

You need help, it's an absurd pick! They reached and let everyone down!

 

[Goalie_Bob]

Worst thing they could have done.

Worst thing they could have done wa take Dino Tomlin.

 

[Peat]

Happy.

But slightly sad we don't get the drama.

I'm quite surprised Will Johnson is still available. He's incredibly talented, but there must be concerns around his injury.

Poor 40 yard time, no?

 

[Shaftception]

Ok, my faith in at least Kahn and Weidl has at least not been ruined, they continue to draft like a modern franchise.

Though I honestly don't know much about Harmon outside of knowing they needed help on the d-line, I'm more just happy they didn't panic overdraft another mid QB.

Harmon is a great pick imo

 

[Empoleon8771]

Yeah the pick was either going to be Harmon or Sanders, I'm a bit surprised they went Harmon over Sanders but he was the obvious non-Sanders pick.

 

[wheelz87]

not upset. you win with line play. seems a bit boom or bust but whatever.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

I've gone back and fourth on Sanders, but I think I settled on 'no'.

I think it's a decent value pick, but I don't want value at QB. I want upside.

What do you mean by value?

He's not a particularly good QB. I wouldn't want to take him before the 6th round

 

[xlm34]

Ok nice. Now don’t stupidly take a QB in round three that just has backup upside and this draft will be fine.

Also just on Harmon…I don’t think he’ll be amazing or anything but the Steelers “type” at DT isn’t particularly easy to find so I’m good with the pick.

 

[Ryder71]

Harmon is a great pick imo

They reached. Jeremiah had him at 24 and PFF had him at 42.

 

[Ryder71]

They could have Taken Smith.

 

[WickedWrister]

Harmon was the last remaining of the tier 2 DL. This was the smart pick. Would’ve preferred a trade down but I’m sure the offers were dogshit. RB with the 3rd rounder if the board shakes out that way

 

[Son Goku]

They reached. Jeremiah had him at 24 and PFF had him at 42.

I don’t trust anything PFF says

 

[Gallatin]

We're going to be smart and continue loading up for a 2026 QB.

 

[Booker T]

They reached. Jeremiah had him at 24 and PFF had him at 42.

And how many people had Sanders in the top 5? Don't listen to these people. I live and breathe B1G football, Harmon is a fantastic pick. I might be biased as well as a Birds fan, but you can never go wrong building the trenches on both sides of the ball.

 

[Ryder71]

I don’t trust anything PFF says

What about Jeremiah?

 

[WickedWrister]

They reached. Jeremiah had him at 24 and PFF had him at 42.

Taking a guy 3 picks before he was ranked is not a reach lmao

 

[OnMyOwn]

Harmon was like the number 2 ranked DT. I’m absolutely fine with this pick. We needed D line bad.

 

[Ryder71]

We're going to be smart and continue loading up for a 2026 QB.

That's great but they could have taken one of the best corners in the process.

 

[Ryder71]

Taking a guy 3 picks before he was ranked is not a reach lmao

Other publications had him quite a bit lower. His aggregate was low 30's, so yeah a reach.

Wrong

 

[SomeDude]

Harmon seems like a good guy at least. If he ends up busting at least he won't be a d-bag, which is refreshing.

I don't have a problem addressing a need. I have a problem drafting that particular player who did very little beyond last season.

 

[Peat]

Tyler Booker looks like a 70s academic decided to take up pimping and I'm here for it

Ok nice. Now don’t stupidly take a QB in round three that just has backup upside and this draft will be fine.

Yeah. Also the production and effort is there, which is nice too.

 

[wheelz87]

sucks not having a second. i hope someone overpays for george and we pull the trigger.
