Why can't we have something like this approach?
But not as bad as the BRAAAAAAHHHHHHHNS.
Very promising young talent. He was never given a fair shot because of Ben and tomlin. Picket wasn’t the answer but we saw with masons final games with us he could’ve been the answer he literally saved tomlins winning season bs.
Browns is the Browns
A name I never heard growing up in the Lebeau era is Bud Carson. Some respect and appreciation for an all time legend. This dude created the cover 2 and was the guy behind the steel curtain (want to make a wizard of oz meme but don't have the time lol)
I've had this thought for awhile now and i've been thinking that maybe it's better for him to be a DE considering his size and weight instead of a run stopping DT like they're asking him to be in this vanilla crap scheme. The steelers site has him listed at 309 which seems light for a 3-4 DT cause i believe that casey hampton was 325 when he played for us and he could anchor much better than benton could and seemed built for being a DT cause his upper and lower body strength were his strengths while bentons strength seems to be his speed and not so much his strength.
I feel like moving benton outside to be a DE allows him to use his speed more and allows him better matchups outside instead of being stuck inside getting double teamed and washed out of his gap because he just dosen't have the strength necessary to contain the middle like a proper DT should possess. I like benton as a player alot so this isn't me ragging on him, but i feel like his needs a position change and we should find a DT to replace him with and one who has the strength necessary to eat up double teams and with hold the middle of the defense which was a big problem for us this past season. Getting a DT who can do that also frees up our inside linebackers more and let's them do their thing which is crucial for a 3-4 defense.
He’s the best special teams player we’ve ever had and he has the best 50+ accuracy in league history by a wide margin.
Once you start listing off Steelers legends it becomes extremely difficult to place him but I feel like he has to be top 10 if not pushing top 5.
Unlimmmited amount of sacks 😅
•Sign Amari Cooper: Cooper is a good veteran receiver who would provide us with exactly what we need a good route runner who can be a reliable target in the short, intermediate, parts of the field while Pickens is much more of an all or nothing receiver. Cooper is also just someone who keeps his head down and just does his job, you aren't going to get WR drama from him. He can also act as a mentor to our younger guys and would be a cheeper option than Tee Higgins which would let us spend money filling other needs.
• Bring in a Veteran third string QB with some coaching potential: I want us to sign a guy who is basically just there to be an extra QB coach. Kyle Allen could totally work for this, I'd be fine with us bringing him back. I just want a guy who can transition to being apart of the staff after he retires and help whoever we have at QB develop.
• Resign Wilson or Fields: I want one of them back on the team. Do I think we can be a Superbowl contender with either one? No but, I think one of them can act as a good stabilizing bridge for a team that needs that right now. Wilson feels like he'd be the cheeper of the two, and since I don't think either guy is great he gets the slight edge for me to who I think will be resigned.
• Draft Jalen Milroe: Now I'd prefer for this to be a second or third round pick but, if they think he's the guy and take him in the first round I'd be happy with it. I know that in college he was alright at best but, you don't draft people off what they were in college you draft them off what they can be in the NFL. I think Jalen Milroe could be our next franchise QB. He is the most physical gifted QB in this draft class, not just in terms of athleticism but also arm strength. His is an intelligent young man and be all accounts a leader. He is by no means a perfect QB prospect, I don't think he should start his rookie year but, I think his flaws are things that are coachable and at the senior bowl he showed that he was coachable. Before this college football season it felt like he was poised for a breakout year but then, Sabin retired and he had to learn a whole new offense and his coach had to learn how to best use him. I think he once he gets consistent NFL level coaching he could develop into one of the better, and potentially one of the best QBs in the league.
• Draft another WR: I think Roman Wilson is going to be good for us once he gets the chance to play and, if we can sign Amari Cooper like I want us to, I think our WR room will be improved from this year. I still want us to Draft another guy though. If he's there in the first round Emeka Egbuka, would be perfect for us. Similar to Copper, Egbuka is a good route runner who can work the short and intermediate parts of the field while we let Pickens go deep, he's also a good blocker from what I hear. Luther Burden would also be great but I think he's less likely to be there with our first round pick. Even if we don't take a receiver in the first round I feel like we can find one down the board who can give us what we're looking for.
Draft another CB: I'd specifically like Shavon Revel Jr from ECU. He's a lengthy corner who fits exactly the type of man press defense that the Steelers like to run. He seems like the type of guy who would be perfect for the Steelers but would end up getting taken one pick before they pick. He is recovering from an injury, so I'm hoping that, that will allow him to fall to us maybe even in the second or third round. If not him than Cobee Bryant from Kansas. He just seems to be a baller more likely than not going to be a first round pick but, he just seems to be a guy who can just continuously get the job done.
•Let Najee walk draft a RB late: Najee has been fine as a Steeler but, we drafted him in the first round with the expectations that he would be great for us. It's time for him to go. I think we can find a RB in the later rounds who can make a bigger impact than Najee.
•Draft another guard: We have a young developing OL. Zach Frasier is already on of the best young centers in the NFL. We took Troy Fautanu in the first round of last year's draft but he got injured twice and never really got the chance to play. I think he's going to be good for us next year. I think Mason McCormick is going to take a jump next year and, next year is when we'll see if Brodrick Jones can be apart of this OL for the future. We have young players in positions to start all across the OL except for LG Isaac Seumalo. Seumalo is a good player but he's over 30 while the rest of our guys are under 25. A big part of developing a great OL is developing a chemistry between the members of the OL so that they can work at their best as a unite. If we can get another young player in there who more so matches our OL's timeline and we can start building that chemistry now, then I think it would be best for us in the long term.
I wanted to put together a mock draft to see what fans want at different times in the off-season and make a video on it. I will be doing a mock draft prior to free agency, post free agency, and after the combine. The player that is either most commented or most upvoted will be considered the pick. I will be going around every subreddit to see who they pick. Let me know what you guys believe your biggest team needs are as well. Also, there won’t be any trades for this mock draft.

In free agency, we finally land the WR that will be our cornerstone WR and this year fills in very nicely at the spot opposite George Pickens.
This builds the lines on both sides of the ball. This should be the foundation for our defensive line for the next decade. On the offensive line we add a stud at guard that can learn behind a really cerebral player in Seumalo for a year and has all pro potential. Then we add one of the most talented multi-position oline prospects in the draft in the 4th that can fill in at guard or tackle.
We revamp the RB room and now any player there can house it on any play.
