Draft Thread Rounds 2 and 3

That Ravens guy is retarded

 

[Steeltime]

God, I wish somebody would throw an orange right into his face.

 

[bkwheat28]

Everytime I played in Pittsburgh I’m 2-0 . Nice resume. You want a ******’ medal for that?!

 

[SteelBuckeye]

I mean it basically mean there is a good chance Howard will be cut or traded now

Possibly. But, I wasn't counting on Howard to be the savior anyway. Based on what I've seen of Allar, I wouldn't hold my breath on him being it either. He lacks the "clutch" gene and it has shown.

 

[Pittsburgh Charlie]

Habs win it in OT!!!!!

 

[bermudasteel]

Hey coolie, he's talking **** as usual. He can have it back

Assumptions make an *** out of you every time. I was being sincere you *****...

That Ravens guy is retarded

 

[Steelr4evr]

I kinda think the plan may be to fail their way to a top 10 pick this year by throwing the two of them to the wolves

Whatever works and gets us back to the promised land. Either good or bad,I just don't want in-between.

 

[KentuckySteeler]

Howard must blow. His accuracy is pretty bad.

 

[madinsomniac]

Lol two of my friends at the draft said the crowd was perplexed and audibly questioning things after the allar pick... The steelers clearly thought it would get the hometown crowd going... they failed to understand penn state fans didnt like him

And the church said ..... AMEN

I have no faith that Allar is going to wow the coaching staff enough not to realize that come next year, we need a franchise QB in a good draft class and not **** around and just get it done. Picking a mid-late round QB every 2-3 years doesn't do you much anymore.

 

[insaniti]

He's 24 and will be 25 in October.

I never understood this argument at all. It was a big "negative" for Tyler Shough last year as well. If you get 8 years of starting caliber from ANY draft pick, it's a great pick isn't it? So he's 33 after those 8 years... you already got your pick worth, and likely a solid second contract as well.

We have players playing well into their mid 30's quite often in todays game, QB's playing into their 40's... IF a player is THAT GOOD, age shouldn't deter you from drafting him. There has to be more than just his age...

 

[FordFairLane]

Allar is much like our first round pick. A huge upside but a cellar for a floor. With enough coaching he could be the best QB not only in this draft but the last five. Or he could be Christian Hackenberg. But at 76 you aren't going to get everything so you are either banking on potential or getting a guy who will at minimum contribute. We swung for the fences and I am ok with that.

 

[bermudasteel]

They liked him. It would have been silly to risk that. For what? Allar is a specific player. They probably have multiple options at G, and LB, and DB and Edge. But if Allar is gone, maybe they're done at QB until Rd 4.

Fair assessment. I have no dog in the fight as I selected him in several of my mocks.

Lots of interesting options left w/ 2 more picks!!!

 

[KentuckySteeler]

The bright side? Tomloser would have picked Allar in round one.

I'd take him still, but I haven't seen any other reason.

Yeah, QBs that dont process well dont usually suddenly fix things in the pros, but maybe the QB guru sees something we dont... its a third... its no different than drafting Rudolph really.. if he turns into a good backup it is a value pick... but it feels like a reach

 

[Steelr4evr]

I mean it basically mean there is a good chance Howard will be cut or traded now

Why? He hasn't played a single down. That would be stupid as hell. Competition elevates and seperates.

 

[Litos]

Will Howard sure broke his laptop though

This team isn't going anywhere until they get a QB. I'm also cool with them taking chances.

No you weren't. Do us both a favor. Put me on ignore and don't respond to my posts.

 

[CoolieMan]

With the 82nd pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings select Iowa State DT Domonique Orange.

 

[SteelerFan448]

Rapoport already reported the Steelers are willing to trade Rudolph. If nothing else, Howard will compete for the job, starting or backup.

 

[madinsomniac]

Not to bash him, but id have zero faith he would develop a raw Qb and OT or use a wr like Bernard correctly
