Pickens and Austin111 added gives the Steelers a receiving group as lethal as any team in the NFL. The major question is the OL?
Two words for "Steelers always hit on receivers"….Limas Sweed. LOL
Trying to make up for the lawsuit huh 😂😂😂
Give us an A then my brothA!
Not an A draft
A
A? 🤣🤣🤣
Pickens doesn’t run well. Wtf. This dude is crazy 4.4 for a guy 6-3.
Pickens just has to run fast enough to make every highlight reel against the Ravens
We get an A…yes we did not address the OL throughout the draft but definitely got some good pieces to work with. Shoot even the rookie free agents they signed I like…that RT from Bama, Steele, both those RBs look promising!!!
"doest RUN that well "? 4.47 is not running well ?
“Idk why we drafted him when Willis was on the board” these are the same people that when Pickett will be good they’ll be buying the fuck out out of his jersey smh
Cbs bias at full force here. Gave the Steelers an A but the bengals a C
Drafting BPA always wins
LOL the former Steelers gives them an A 😂 thats just embarrassing… B- at best
Outside of the WRs…… so disgusted with this Draft. nit only getting over rated Pickett. In the first. could have traded back and gotten over rated Pickett in the second with more draft picks.. Mitchell is better qb… but a bad undersized no true position player in the 3rd… a fb/te in the 6th could have gotten as a udfa. because he is family…
George Pickens Doesn’t Run That Well ??? He Ran A 4.42 & 4.40 At 6’3 200+ What Is Running Well In Your Mind ? Respectfully
Why does everyone keep saying George Pickens doesnt run well.
Steeler fucking nation.
the draft is typical of a GM Colbert coming out, because he grants requests regardless of the team's needs. the new GM will have the job of filling the gaps of the substitutes.
All the crying aint gnna solve nuttin we got him n mitch and soft ass mason we just gotta hope they figure it out
I’m gonna remind people of something one more time. Ben Roethlisberger was good at Miami of Findlay. But he has ONE great season. His senior year. Do the research Bryant.
Fact check here- Malik Willis had a worse year in 2021 than he did in 2020. You’re telling me he couldn’t beat out Bo Nix at Auburn? Bo Nix..? Yeah cause he really lit it up and where is he now? Malik Regressed in 2021 against lesser competition. Willis should’ve been able to dominate his level of competition. Willis has elite traits no doubt and if the titans are willing to be patient and have the perfect development plan for him then he could be pretty special but saying Picketts Ceiling is low because his floor is high doesn’t make any sense to me. So he’s the most pro read becaus he ran an NFL offense by a former NFL coach, has NFL ball placement and accuracy, athleticism, great size, NFL level anticipatory throwing, one of the best college QBs against the blitz and in the red zone. All of those things is what make a great NFL QB great, so he’s head and shoulders above every other QB in this class at doing those things but somehow he’s not going to get any better at those things and become a smarter and better decision maker with One of the winningest and most stable franchises in the NFL? Have you seen how loaded the Steelers offense is now? Najee, Freiermuth, Johnson, Claypool, Pickens, Calvin Austin and Connor Heyward. That’s one of the most talented offenses in the league yall. Oh yeah they also play pretty great defense in Pittsburgh not sure if you’ve heard. Tuitt and Alualu are back this year, they added Myles Jack and got one of the biggest steals of the draft in Demarvin Leal in the 3rd. They have 5 all pro or pro bowl level guys just on defense. Meanwhile the Ravens for some reason traded their star Wr and didn’t use one out of a dozen draft picks they had to replace him. They also lost Watkins and Bateman sure didn’t look anywhere near a #1wr last year. Ojabo won’t play this year and had the worst injury a athlete can have where many guys don’t come back even close to the same, Linderbaum is a great player but TERRIBLE scheme fit. He played wide zone schemes at Iowa and he’s an undersized, Trex arm center now playing in man power/gap scheme. The bengals drafted every DB they possibly could get and the Browns forgot they don’t have another WR not named Amari Cooper. So I’m supposed to believe the Browns and Watson are going to light it up this year despite the fact that Watson is going to get suspended at least 6 games and by that time hasn’t played a single down of football in a year and half. Yeah there’s gunna be a lot of rust to shake off. The Bengals will still be good can’t even front about that.
Great pick by us. But Malik Willis is Steve Mcnair 2.0
Trubisky is the starter and Pickett will be there insurance policy
I don't know if I would say grade A…B-
Pickett is ready to play now, but his ceiling is like a Kirk Cousins or Andy Dalton type of QB in the NFL. He is basically another Mitch Trubisky Steelers were better off going with Trubisky for the year and using the pick to fill other holes like OL, WR, SS, CB. Maybe even MLB since Bush has been bad, and than if Trubisky doesn't work out draft a QB next year in a better class. Steelers folded and made an emotional pick for the "hometown kid". And when he becomes a bust, you guys will blame Tomlin somehow and say its Tomlin's fault. 🤷♂
If Z- was a grade Pitt deserves it. Colbert setting us up b4 he leaves
Steelers please draft christian Watson 2nd round please please
Please !!!
Yes yes yes
He played 5 years at Pitt, not 6 you bald headed mf. He started 4 games his first year in 2017.. Not to mention the year COVID hit there was a shortened season. Yes Malik maybe has a higher ceiling but Kenny is definitely the most NFL ready QB and can get better quicker and bring competition to the QB room for the Steelers. Malik played 2 years for an even smaller school with not much college competition just let that sink in, and I'm a Steelers fan. Matt Canada the Steelers offensive coordinator, his last year as a OC at Pitt college was 2016 and he was recruiting Kenny at the time so I think this is a perfect fit with some familiarity. Mobile QB that's pass first run second (if need be) which is what you want not a Lamar Jackson or Baker Mayfield type because we see how that's going..
Some of these analysts are really dumb… Pickett is a great pick for the competition at QB1 next season, and if it doesn't work out there's lots of options the year after. Pickett is definitely the best QB in this draft (by far), and Bryant, Kenny's last season was so much better because he improved that much. HE WILL ONLY GET BETTER OR STAY AT THIS LEVEL, he won't decline back to his earlier years at Pitt.
To that moron on the end, Kenny was at Pitt for 5 years (not 6) and he only started 1 game his first season. All of his other 48 starts came in a 4 year period. Dan Marino played 4 years at Pitt and he also had the SAME EXACT NUMBER OF STARTS 48. So STFU please, you know absolutely nothing.
After watching highlights of Desmond Ridder, I was hoping they picked him instead of Pickett. Everyone mentioned his tiny hands and all the fumbles he had in his college career. Pickett fumbled a hell of a lot. That'll kill your team, cost games, and makes u want to smack qbs that fumble the ball away constantly. Nothing harder to watch than a fumbling QB
They went with the safer pick. He's played at Heinz field, he knows the staff and players, most nfl ready qb. Malik had a much higher chance of being a bust. Sure he is an athletic freak of nature but he makes a lot of mistakes at a worse competition too.
So in just a few short months you lose your franchise QB to retirement and one of your backup QB’s to a tragedy. Drafting a QB with your first pick only makes logical sense. Also in that dead zone between Bradshaw’s retirement and the arrival of Big Ben the Steelers didn’t draft any QB’s in the first round and we all see how that turned out.
Pickett reminds me of Justin Herbert
Here's the problem even Pete prisco who apparently is in love with Pickett said I don't know if he'll ever be great and that's the point McFadden was making about his ceiling, he's almost 24, he played a lot of games at Pitt if you know his ceiling is Kirk Cousins would you draft him? As a fan I hope he's great but do I agree with it NO, let's remember they didn't have to take a quarterback take someone you are sure you will want to give a second contract to, now you run into do you even get a starter out of this draft for 2023 I personally don't see it
I don’t not like how that white man came off str8 disrespectful
Finally.
Some of y’all don’t actually pay attention to football, Pickett is by far the best QB in this draft and the most NFL ready, he has the experience, the mobility, the arm, the accuracy, Willis barely did shit, he constantly scrambled for no reason, if his first read wasn’t open his instinct was to run, not to mention his inaccuracy, this was a great decision by the Steelers
