Where are we going round one?

Most years the Steelers have been extremely predictable, Mike Tomlin making eyes at guys at pro days, blatant needs, etc, but this is the first year in a while where it feels like a bit of a mystery.

The Options:

  1. DLine, It seemed for a while that we were definitively going DLine, but the DLine group is so deep this year the Steelers could easily get a quality starter later in the draft.

  2. WR. Before DK it seemed like drafting another receiver was the obvious need, but now not so much. I suppose there are scenarios where a top guy falls but again, it’s unlike the Steelers to go at this position early when they’ve had so much success in the middle rounds

  3. QB. The media can’t seem to fathom a scenario where the Steelers don’t go QB and stick with Mason/wait for a trade or cut candidate. I can kinda see Jaxson Dart, but he’s not gonna be ready to go and need some games to sit. And his comp is Andy Dalton which I just don’t think is worth round one even at peak red rifle Andy. Sanders and ward wont be there. And they aren’t worth selling the farm to get.

  4. DB. The Steelers seem confident in their ability to develop these guys (warranted or not) and almost always go for free agents or later round guys who were once first rounders who fell. I could see them going for a Malaki Starks but that’s about it.

  5. RB. Similar to DLine there’s definitely one or two guys who warrant first round picks at 21 but there’s just so many guys they can get later to pair with Warren’s it’s a deep class. But Arthur smiths offense is really reliant on do it all running backs and for it to work it needs someone like a Jeanty or Hampton and idk if they even make it to 21. But still there’s growing buzz here. And there might be a run on them.

  6. Trade back. My favorite option. If they can find a suitor and pick up a second or maybe an extra third and stay in the first round I think this gives them the most swings of the bat at real premium starters. Everyone knows once you are out of the top 100 it’s like searching for needles in a haystack.

So where do you guys think we go?
