ESPN’s Matt Miller on the Steelers draft plans:
“What are the Steelers thinking in Round 1? "I can't tell you the player, but I can tell you it'll be an offensive lineman," said one team source. There has been buzz about Pittsburgh adding a wide receiver at No. 20, but the feeling I got in making calls to teams this week is that the Steelers believe they're an elite team at drafting receiver talent outside the top 32 picks, and history backs that up. So someone like Georgia's Amarius Mims or Oklahoma's Tyler Guyton might make sense here. Either right tackle prospect would allow last year's first-rounder Broderick Jones to move to his more natural position after a strong rookie season on the right side.”

Decline - Smith wants to focus on the running game and play action down the field. Steelers need to use draft capital on bolstering the OL, to control the running game and keep Wilson upright. 1/20 Best OT - guessing Mims, 2/51 C or WR - guessing JPJ or Frazier, 3/98 WR/CB/ DL guessing Wilson or Sweat

I'm for the best offensive lineman we can get I don't care left tackle right tackle or even a center get the best one up that has the best potential and growth make the trade with San Francisco drop down to the 31st spot iuk will take some of the pressure off the o-line on quick Slants and Screen passes for Russell Wilson

[@stevehaines7251]

[@chadwickmyers5766]

[@APrawks]

That's asking too much. The Steelers are not only excellent at drafting WR talent but also developing it as well. Why spend so much for one man when you can use one of the draft picks and still have a couple leftover.

[@gregstokes3991]

Too many concussion concerns with Jackson Powers Johnson - go tackle in the 1st and Center in the 2nd. May have to move up to get Frazier. Barton will be long gone. If no Center, get WR

[@TheeEgyptianQueen]

I agree! I just don't agree giving up a 1st and 3rd and 1st for 2025 for Brandon Aiyuk. He's not better than T. HIGGINS or Justin Jefferson

[@garycarter7760]

DECLINE!!! Why don't the Steelers just sign DJ Charks Jr. to be the WR2 and use those draft picks RD.1 (#20) on a OT/C and RD.3b (#98) on a CB/DT.

[@marktaylor5938]

DJ is ass

[@accountone1598]

I keep hearing how great the Steelers are at drafting wide receivers. They may have had some good hits over the years, but they have also had a lot of misses. The chances that they will draft a WR even close to the level of Brandon Aiyuk are low, even if they draft a WR in the first round (which is unlikely). Chase Claypool (1st round) and James Washington (2nd round) were very high Steeler draft picks who were busts. They have also had some busts in the later rounds like third round picks Sammy Coates, Dri Archer and Marcus Wheaton. Jury is out on C. Austin, but he was healthy last year and didn't show much. Yes they hit on Pickens, Ju Ju, and Dionte, but that's 3 out of the last 9. Those are not good odds, especially when your looking to win now. The Steelers had a strong run between 1998 and 2010 drafting WRs. They only had 2 bad misses, and about 7 really good hits during those years. They are average at best since then.

[@user-yv7kx1kl6n]

[@user-sj2ri8ti2p]

Decline all injury prone. Rd1 Center, Rd2 FB OR HB, RD3 RT, all other Rds promote from practice squad?

[@Paladin70]

So just give up and don’t use their two fourth round picks, their sixth round pick and their seventh round pick? Just throw them away? Is that what you’re proposing, something NO TEAM in the history of the draft has ever done. Your complete unawareness of how the draft works and how practice squad players are signed is utterly mind boggling. Another brilliant draft strategy, keep up the good work. 🤣🤣🤣

[@marjojones9369]

Jones is a left tackle. Are you tired of the steelers moving their lineman to different positions other than the one they play most, if not all of their college career. You see how Greene and Dotson worked out. They left the Steelers and played in their original positions and played lightyears better than they did on the Steelers. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@D0NNY-JAMES]

They don’t give any of there players enough time to develop. And the ones who are plug and play guys, they take too long to start.

[@petergavin4307]

Lt one round keep Jones on the right side the run game Improve immediately when he came in I say keep him there I would trade for Sutton for a 4 round if Omar can pull it off and get another wr later in the draft the steelers can draft wr well so later for that and my second maybe a cb third center or the other way round depending on who there when we pick

[@danielporter5476]

Ot 1st rd ... CB 2nd rd ... Trade this years 3rd & next years for Aiyuk ... DL late 3rd rd ... Mason McCormick 4th rd would be a quality Center

[@riccjaccson6876]

This draft is critical for us. We have to be able to block for our Qb''s and offensive weapons. We also need to make plays on defense. The more three and outs we have, the more victories we will have. Fix that secondary and add some pass rush to that d line Braden Fiske and depth at inside backer with Payton Wilson or Cedric Gray. Add a long physical Cb and a nickel Cb.But all that said, Wr LSU Brian Thomas Jr. is my pick first. But this guy is just too good to pass up. Trade back up and take a C

[@benwilson6559]

Omar Khan already said they’re going to move Broderick to LT

[@Alex.Walker.]

I don't want to get a receiver for that much especially when they are gonna be a run heavy team most likely if I had to guess. So I think getting a young guy in the draft would be the better move

[@DeCurtaRican]

Maybe they shouldn’t be as run heavy. Russ’s arm is still the sh!t. Why waste it? That would give me Pete Carroll vibes.

[@FuturesDoubleCup]

Either the niners take a 2nd & next years 3rd or keep em.. we could easily draft an Aiyuk type of player lol we are the Steelers now.. we don’t have to give up so much capital for a position we draft great in every single year

[@scottgilbert6474]

Accept

[@leegoddard9868]

I like the video 👍

[@Mike-in-Texas]

I am sorry but I still don't do this trade. Yes Aiyuk is great but save the picks and draft a damn rookie in the 1st and let him develop plus we get the 5th year option in 5 years if he works out. We have too many other needs that need to be addressed in this draft. I would probably think different if we were a receiver away from a deep playoff/championship run.

[@TJWattFan90]

Problem with this, we need Jackson powers Johnson, and don’t expect Steelers to draft a wr in the 1st round, they haven’t drafted a wr in the first round in 20 years. They always get wrs in the 2nd round

[@steelerscountry422]

Scared money don’t make no money! A draft pick isn’t guaranteed to be any good look at rashid Bateman. When we relied on Pickens when DJ was hurt what happened?

Good Right tackles are still available in the third. And who started this rumor that the Steelers are excellent at drafting wide receivers in the second round?

[@SteelcityinNY]

All I know is that unless the team focuses on the offensive line...and center...whatever receiver(s)...Pickens, Austin III, Aiyuk or an early pick in draft for a receiver...we need to focus on protecting the QB (whether it is Wilson or Fields). I would LOVE to obtain Tomlin's look-a-like to partner with Pickens! What a ride it would be!! But we need to be able to help them by giving them a bit more time to run their route and for the QB to be able to get the ball to them without always having to scramble.
