@MinkahBurgh39 People saying he can't receive might want to look at What Iowa did offensively. 2025 Their QB had 1000 total passing yards. Last year they had 1700 and their top receiver was a TE.

@TommyJaggi If they swap Troy to LT instead of putting Nacho at LT. I'd put Dunker at RG (he played RT) and McCormick at LG(where he played his entire college career.)
English
My hope for the Steelers' starting OL this year:
LT - Troy Fautanu
LG - Gennings Dunker
C - Zach Frazier
RG - Mason McCormick
RT - Max Iheanachor
Take your lumps early with Max-I and Dunker. Put them where the plan is to be long-term.
English
@ChrisMuellerPGH Man, can you imagine how bad the fan base in buffalo was sweating when they drafted Josh Allen?
English
I don’t have a problem taking Allar and betting on traits. I do have a problem doing it this early.
English
Iheanachor- boom or bust
Bernard- good pick
Allar- boom or bust
Everett- probably career reserve or future nickel back
Dunker- maybe future starting guard, and definitely future legend
English
@rollingsevans @PittsburghSport Then is taken Guys in the 4th and 6th round a bit early more ridiculous than taking 2nd/3rd round "Consensus" guys in the 1st round? Banks, Miller, Rutledge?
English
@Kazesosa @PittsburghSport Thats not how that works. Consensus board take the board values of a ton of different people, many of whom base their evals off of insider information they have. Once everything's averaged out thats the "consensus". And history say that board is a decent indicator of value
English
There’s the player and then there’s the value of the player given the draft pick.
The #Steelers got some interesting players. But man they reached on so
many of them. They could have had players ranked much higher. This is a huge test of the Steelers evaluations versus general consensus.
English
@DavidMTodd Imagine we don't draft Ben Roethlisberger because we drafted Brian St. Pierre in the 5th round the year before.
English
The fan infatuation w Will Howard is just the unknown. He was a 6th rd pick for a reason. Add Allar to the room. Go to camp & find out. It’s the team’s weakest position. #Steelers
English
@ThePoniExpress The same CBS that praised the browns for Taking Gabriel AND Sanders?
English
CBS Sports hates this Kaden Wetjen pick. They had him ranked 315th overall. Holy cow.
English
@udi_jager @MichaelBeck56 The way he folds that C on the goal line hurt me.
English
@MichaelBeck56 Why are we acting like that database knows more that NFL coaching staff and scouts?

Notre Dame DT Gabriel Rubio Is One Of The Best Run Stuffers In CFB. Here's Why⬇️
English
@AdamBSteelers @DJon2danext @TraiDay79 Not to mention he had 2 top 40 RB's (Judkins/Henderson) vs 5th+6th round RB's
English
@DJon2danext @TraiDay79 I like Will but he was throwing to Jeremiah Smith, Emeka Egbuka, and Carnell Tate. Allar was throwing to Trebor Pena, Devonta Ross, and Kyron Hudson. There is a huge difference there
English
@DJon2danext @TraiDay79 The problem when people talk about comparing Allar/Howard, is they conveniently ignore the sheer talent difference around them.
OSU - 3 first round pick WR's (2 top 5), 2 Top 40 pick RB's.
Psu - 1 1st round TE.
English
@TraiDay79 Allar's pick was a waste to me, Howard h had a much better college tape...need to address Safety and another WR who can return kicks like Skyler Bell from UCONN
English
My first thought about the Steelers 2026 draft class as a whole:
I don't really get it? I think they got some good players, but I don't quite understand the direction of it. One of the stranger draft classes I can remember them having in recent memory.
English
@NealCoolong LOL We drafted Brian St. Pierre in 2003. Imagine "We can't draft Ben Roethlisberger because we got St. Pierre in round 5 last year."
English
"Because we drafted Will Howard last year" is absolutely not a reason to avoid doing ANYTHING in the NFL. Holy shit people don't get it. "They already have a developmental QB" is just hilariously stupid.
English
@CoachWarzu IF, and big if, If McCarthy can develop Allar, he's easily the most physically gifted QB in the draft. Nussmeier is a gunslinger with a popcap gun and Klubnik well, he's not much better.
English
I’d rather have Nussmeier or Klubnik in round 4 or 5 than Allar in the 3rd
Deutsch
@LedyardNFLDraft Injury history or he may have gone higher. He's a low risk, high reward 2 down nose tackle. Watch him against Boise. The way he bent their center backwards was crazy.
English
799 career snaps. 3 seasons under 200 snaps, including last year due to injuries. 306 snaps is his career high for a season.
Tested poorly at pro day. Couple injuries in the past. 7 TFL, 1.5 sacks. Will watch his limited tape over the next week
Alex Kozora@Alex_Kozora
...we do not have a scouting report on Rubio and he wasn't on my pre-draft radar. Has size Steelers look for in a d-lineman at 6051, 321 pounds. Missed last half of 2025 with an arm injury.
English
@Alex_Kozora This has been my argument. If he houses a KR/PR with the game on the line, or at worst, flips the field, are people going to really care that he was drafted in the 4th round? While they've done decent lately, like 70% of Steelers 4th rounders never see the field.
English
You guys can hate the draft slot but if Kaden Wetjen is housing a kick/punt in Week 15 with Pittsburgh in the playoff hunt...you're not going to care what round he went. #Steelers
English
@TommyJaggi So, one of the most elite KR/PR to come out of college since Devin Hester, not ok. But a 6'0 220lb S/LB hybrid that isn't the best at either, for a niche 3rd down setup is much more value?
English
I mean... I likt Wetjen, but that feels early for a return specialist and nothing else.
I would have gone with Kyle Louis and used him as a big nickel
English
@FarabaughFB People will be singing his praises and care less when he was drafted when he drops a PR/KR TD and changes the outcome of the game. Or takes a deep punt and flips field position.
English
Wetjen to me is a good player who fills a big need at returner. The Steelers have been bad there.
But I think it's fair to question if a guy who only has 46 career touches at the FBS level is good value in the 4th round.
Real shot you spent a 4th rounder on a STs only guy.
English
@ThePoniExpress Bold take? That's just statistically probability with a high likelyhood.
My Bold Take: All draft picks will get signed and make it to training camp.
Another bold take: Steelers will wear black and gold this season.
English
Bold take: I think there's a better chance Gennings Dunker starts week 1 than Max Ihenachor.
English
@SteelerSanc16 Measurables? Identical
Playstyle? Nearly identical. He's a RB/WR Tweener that is shifty and runs excellent routes.
English
Eli Heidenreich was a lock to the #Steelers simply from where he was born. Embarrassing organization
English
@SteelPivk Most 7th round picks are guys you don't want to fight over in UDFA.
Heidenreich is a rare guy that blends RB ability with receiving/route running ability. Perhaps if he went to a large school with a good running back, he wouldn't have been a 7th rounder.
English
Explain this pick to me #Steelers fans? We have 5rbs now for what?
Pittsburgh Steelers@steelers
With the 230th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, we select RB/WR Eli Heidenreich.
