Where is the star power?

[WindyCitySteel]

This is a mediocre roster, almost seemingly by design. The Steelers and fans seem to pride themselves on getting guys on the cheap and ridiculing teams that overspend. Well, this is what you get.

This survey of coaches, execs, GMs was before last season but not much has changed, Cam probably maintains his place at the bottom of the top 10 DT's in the league, Watt probably will drop a spot or two for EDGE.

Outside of that, nobody in the top 10 at their position in the game, and these two guys are nearing the end of their careers. There was a time in the not so distant past that they'd have top 10 players at half or more of these position groups. In a couple years they may have none.

It is mediocre. No other teams fans think very highly of the steelers. Rightfully so. Tomlin earned that.

A glimmer of hope with an all new coaching staff.

When was the last time we got someone on the cheap?

Talking about what we give up in the trade, Steeler fans were dunking on other teams for getting Pittman for a pittance while they overpaid for better and younger players. Same with Rodgers, Wilson, Fields, etc.

I guess you could say they got Rodgers on the cheap

Just want them to make a super bowl run. Do not care if it is full of stars or a whole bunch of Hines Wards

Hard to unsee Creed Humphrey at the top of that OL list. And to think that the Steelers not only drafted Najee Harris nearly 40 spots higher in that 2021 draft, but also passed on Humphrey a second time at a position of serious need. Freiermuth has had a decent career, but he's probably just an above average tight end at best.

Boz is top 10 at his position. Top 3-4 really. At least we can kick 6 FGs a game!!
