Well, I agree, but you have to consider who will actually be making those picks.Can’t argue with this

Especially being short in the WR room.Unless this guy can be Gronk or Kelce, I'd hate to draft a backup tight end in the second round. It's not a position the Steelers need to get back into AFC North contention.
Really wonder who has the strong hold with a new GM and assistant GM. If they are giving Tomlin the edge the team is in some real trouble. If they lean on the assistant GM I would think the draft will produce some pleasant surprises. I know they would say all things are equal but I call bullshit on that. I think it isn't so much after the board is created. But before and during you wonder who will have the ultimate say. This guy is round 2 worthy, other man says no he is round 3 worthy.Well, I agree, but you have to consider who will actually be making those picks.
Not high on Sewell I saw a few people liking him but he has been relatively quiet this season compared to last. Has he been hurt? Really liked your second draft did it only go to two rounds?I tried a few different simulators (no trades).
Pro Football Network1.8 - Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia
-Going for a shutdown cornerback.
2.33 - Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia
-The Steelers tackles are weak and they need some real talent at the position. Trying to find of that second-round value at the position here.
2.38 - John Michael Schmitz
-The Steelers have also had strong play from the center position. I don't think this is a future Hall of Famer, but looking for the long-term option as Mason Cole keeps the seat warm.
3.69 - Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee
-Exploded onto the scene this year with 18.5 YPC and 15 touchdowns. This offense just needs some explosive players.
PFF1.8 - Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern2023 NFL Mock Draft Simulator | PFF
PFF’s customizable mock draft simulator gives you the opportunity to be the GM for any team in the 2023 NFL Draft. In addition to picking draft prospects, you can also offer and make trades with the simulated teams.www.pff.com
-I don't know if he'll have the size to play tackle in the NFL. At this point, I'm assuming he will and getting one of the top tackles in the draft.
2.34 - Garrett Williams, CB, Syracuse
-Good athlete and will step up against the run.
2.39 - Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State
-Too good of value to pass up. If one of these guys can't play the right side, maybe you kick Skoronski inside and Fashanu step in at left tackle. Bottom line is getting high pedigree players for the offensive line.

1.9 - Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia
2.34 - Noah Sewell, LB, Oregon
-I didn't want to go back-to-back defense, but that's how the board fell. Maybe he can be what Devin Bush wasn't.
2.38 - Siaki Ika, IDL, Baylor
-Maybe a reach here, but an absolutely massive presence for the middle of the defense. I just hit all three levels of the defense.
3.72 - Andrew Vorhees, OL, USC
-Verstalile player who will kick inside for the Steelers.
Really like this draft.PFF:

If we get a top ten or five pick and the OT values don’t fly out of control, we would be idiotic not to trade down… unless there is an absolute no brainer franchise QB available and you need one, trading down is the way to go… now sometimes there aren’t any trade partners, but usually you get a haul and here is the trick, double up on positions of need… the draft is a crap shoot… even a high pick has a pretty high bust rate… we can get a really good prospect in the low teens or high 20’s… take a Ot in the first, get another in the second or third… best case we upgrade both sides… but even if one busts we have a decent chance with the other…partial to this one

No way does the Steelers take two tackles high. Just too many needs. Can't draft on a fear of one busting. Just have to go BPA and maneuver to try to get as many needs addressed within that BPA pool. Now if they took say a C and T or a T and G early even that would make more sense. But Moore probably can be moved and still be affective somewhere other than C. So T could bring a good upgrade to the line. Perhaps Moore could take bigdots spot and a new LT could complete an upgrade. Regardless I don't see the club dipping too hard on the Oline despite our wants. You can almost bank on a D player early and perhaps a WR. I can't assume their strategy will stay the same under a new GM and assistant but some fresh ideas sure are welcomed.If we get a top ten or five pick and the OT values don’t fly out of control, we would be idiotic not to trade down… unless there is an absolute no brainer franchise QB available and you need one, trading down is the way to go… now sometimes there aren’t any trade partners, but usually you get a haul and here is the trick, double up on positions of need… the draft is a crap shoot… even a high pick has a pretty high bust rate… we can get a really good prospect in the low teens or high 20’s… take a Ot in the first, get another in the second or third… best case we upgrade both sides… but even if one busts we have a decent chance with the other…
It is why I usually skip the trade routes, being less realistic. Knowing the FOs love affair with the value of a top ten pick I bet they are leaning on staying out. Unless they get an offer that is hard to refuse.In these draft simulators it is super easy to trade back 6 picks or so and pick up a 1st in the 2024 draft. lets hope it is that easy in the actual draft. that is with the 9th pick.
same thing here .... I just left site immediatelyIs anyone trying to use First-pick this year? It is coming up as a security risk for me so I haven't clicked through to it.
Although it's been discussed before, this is spot on Slash. We signed the guy from Philadelphia (Weidl) for a reason I hope. Most of us presume that Omar handles the finances and business decisions, Andy will handle the player evaluation and draft board. HCMT can be involved but Art has to realize, it neads to take a back seat.Really wonder who has the strong hold with a new GM and assistant GM.

4 1st round draft picks for 2024. yeah this is realistic
Good attack on the trenches, and still came away with a CB and WR. I am hoping this is their mindset. Trade down if value isn't there and attack the trenches.this would be interesting...
