QB1 winning it all 🔮 🔥🔥🔥@Rudolph2Mason #SteelersNation #Steelers #HereWeGo

@AustinRBechtold @JoeStarkey1 @KDPomp Tough crowd

Do you want Aaron Rodgers back at this point? @JoeStarkey1 @KDPomp

@Blitz_Burgh How much draft capital do you think we’ll get when we trade him?

Mike Tomlin is going to return to coaching. I can already tell. #Steelers #NFL

@FishKnowsBall We give Rudolph the reigns, we’ll suck and when Rudolph sucks so bad they have to put Allar in we’ll see what he has if he shows a spark there’s a slight chance he could be the guy if not shit atp we’re getting a top 10 pick so it doesn’t matter anymore.

Will Howard this. Drew Allar that. The debate doesn’t start until next year. In the mean time, It’s AROD time !!

@FBallAnalysisYT Not a single player within the top 100 consensus wise…

Cameron Latu still does not have his first career NFL reception

@FishKnowsBall Makes sense though on why they didn’t wanna give up their thirds they were hoarding those things. IMO would’ve rather given one up for idk a reciever in the first round that was falling to you… but it is what it is.

I can’t believe Pittsburgh used all 3 of their 3rds 😐

@Steelersdepot @Alex_Kozora That’s usually what happens when new staff comes in they want to get their guys which usually results in not a lot of comp picks the first year or two…

4:00 p.m. ET on Monday marks the end of the free agent signing period that attaches compensatory pick value. Does not appear as though the Steelers will receive any compensatory draft picks in 2027. #Steelers #NFL

@Mazursky8895 He was their 3rd pick not their 4th round pick. Other than that I agree with your take.

Flashback to when Steelers 2026 4th round (sleeper pick) Daylen Everette had Matthew Golden and Isaiah Bond both in Guantanamo Bay to win SEC championship MVP:

@SteelTwins Called me insane but I’d sign Jennings as our 4…

The team seems to have fixed their offensive line entirely and Bernard will have an immediate impact. That's mostly it. There are solid role players like Nowakowski, Wetjen, Everette, and perhaps Heidenreich. Outside of that, a few reaches and head scratching positions taken over others. Still concerned about ILB and WR depth. Underwhelmed but think the class can pan out.

@FishKnowsBall Josh Allen is Patrick Mahomes… (I think you know where I’m going with this)

Drew Allar is Josh Allen

@NFL_DovKleiman Tbf they called him when Dallas was on the clock and before Philly traded for him so I think it’s a bit of a grey area.

Uh Oh: The Steelers could face NFL discipline for being on the phone with Makai Lemon while the Eagles were trying to reach him after trading up. The NFL draft rules state that clubs not on the clock cannot interfere with a team that is on the clock. 😳😳😳

@SCityNATION412 Warren and Dowdle are locks, Kaleb and Eli battle it out for RB3

So here is the current Steelers RB room. Who stays, who goes? Rico Dowdle Max Hurleman Kaleb Johnson Lew Nichols Jaylen Warren Travis Homer Eli Heidenreich

@JN_Steve_ I agree but him saying it was recent playoff success is an understatement it’s been years of lacking playoff success…

What a legend to even admit this. Could see most coaches being too egotistical to even say this. #Steelers

@Hoobito97 @MinkahBurgh39 I also think that’s Roman just need competition, when we betted it all on him last year it all fell apart… also this is a new coaching staff so we don’t know how high they are on the kid

@MinkahBurgh39 Roman can be good but I think he gets beat out for WR4 by Heidenreich whom I think will be more of a WR for the Steelers.

Why do people think that Roman Wilson not getting much PT means he can’t be a good WR4 ? He’s had some pretty big plays in little PT anyways.

@MinkahBurgh39 I agree I just don’t like betting it on him being the 4 would rather they bring in competition for him to beat out… he failed badly at being our 3 last year…

@jack_sperry Exactly, I think that’s also what ppl need to understand with this pick they had the luxury to use a third rounder to make sure they got their guy since they had two other third rounders. This is also why they likely refused to move their third rounders at all.

What has me excited about Drew Allar being drafted by the Steelers is he now has a chance to the get the Patrick Mahomes treatment here in Pittsburgh, assuming Rodgers is back for another season, which it sounds like he will be. The Steelers are trying to apply the lessons from the success KC had in finding & developing Mahomes and are using that blueprint to try and find their next franchise QB. Incredibly talented but raw QB coming out with star-level upside gets the opportunity to be coached up by an offensive minded head coach from a west coast offense background with a specialty in developing QB talent & sitting behind a veteran for a year before inheriting a playoff-caliber roster. It was the perfect setup for Pat, and I think it’s the perfect setup for Drew as well. Even better, PIT didn’t need to invest nearly as much in Drew from a draft capital standpoint as KC did in Pat; they get all that upside for just a 3rd round selection. And people always forget the Chiefs were heavily criticized at the time for making that decision as well, for pretty much the same reasons people don’t like the Allar pick here in Pittsburgh (bad footwork, not accurate enough, not enough team success in college, etc) If there’s even a 20% chance Drew could be the next great franchise QB here in Pittsburgh (and with this setup I think the odds are at least that high), that pick was absolutely worth the investment, especially given the fact that this team didn’t have a legitimate long-term plan at QB on the roster (sorry Will Howard fans), and now they have one! It’s also worth mentioning that the Steelers need to compete with QBs like Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Burrow, Maye, Lawrence, and Herbert, and that’s just in the AFC. If you want to consistently compete with those guys & those teams, you gotta try to find a QB that can feasibly reach that level of upside, and Allar certainly fits that bill with his insane arm talent if he takes well to NFL coaching & development. Just like drafting any other ‘boom or bust’ type of QB prospect, there’s definitely a chance Drew ends up never being a good NFL QB, but with three 3rd rounds pics, this was a luxury pick for Pittsburgh, and when you pair his level of upside with the ideal setup for development plus the relatively low opportunity cost for a guy that could be the next face of Steeler football, you get the potential for this to be one of the greatest picks in the history of the franchise. Now…we can only hope Drew takes this incredible opportunity and runs with it just like Patrick did in KC. It sure worked out well for them; I’m hoping the Steelers are successful in recreating even a fraction of that success with Drew in the years to come.

@Steelersdepot For once I agree with Kiper

Mel Kiper Jr. gave the Steelers a grade of B for their 2026 draft class. #Steelers #NFL

@Blitz_Burgh Drew Allar

Which player was your favorite pick from the Steelers' draft class? #Steelers #NFL

@Steelers_DB Decent, B. Tackle position hopefully solved, Bernard is a great reciever 3/2, Allar fan(obviously odds he works out are low tho), like Everette & Dunkan. Like Wetjen but reached, Rubio is a miss imo, like both our 7th round picks. Think overall all but one of this picks is great!

Alright, yall know what time it is. Time to grade the Steelers draft haul-feel free to add your commentary below!
