Steelers got mushroom stamped in their own draft by their commonwealth brethren. Someone said it’s akin to missing your window to draft in Fantasy Football and the computer auto picking for you. Embarrassing look but he may work out. Lemon’s interview was bonkers - think Steelers may have dodged a bullet. Vega to Baltimore stinks as a Steeler fan but Penn Staters have done well there.

Guys like Malachi Lawrence, who I've never heard of, slotted in front of Dani Dennis-Sutton. DDS should have the measurables these draft guys love. I guess his less than stellar season plummeted him down the board.

They should have traded up in front of the Ratbirds and took Vega. Plug and play o lineman don’t grow on trees and he is one of them with the potential to be a mainstay at G for 10+ years.

Don't be surprised if the Eagles take DDS at 54 if he is available.

Maybe. I think Burrow is leaving anyway in the next 2-3 years. The window is win now. If they can’t get back to Super Bowl contention, Chase & Burrow will is want out.

Not sure a rookie or Caleb Downs type is best in the short run.

Watch a fair number of Cincy games with oldest daughter being in Cincy. They need OLs, good OLs, not the unit that routinely gets Burrow clocked once or twice per game.

I don't know. Steelers might've dodged a bullet with Lemon. He was giving off some real Pickens vibes in that video. (If you remember Pickens draft reaction video.)

Yeah but someone is always going to be dumb enough to trade picks for guys like that. It's not about Lemon. It's that they can't do anything right honestly.

Very true.

Cincy also needs LB’s, CB’s, Edge rusher and overall quality depth. Wouldn’t be surprised to see them draft some sort of skill position player (a WR3 to replace Yoshi, a RB to spell Chase Brown, or possibly even a TE), but none of those are the main needs. It would be nice to keep Burrow alive and not have to score 40 points to win a game.

Why would a team call a guy and tell him you're going to draft him without having drafting him? That just seems dumb. Draft him first. Am I missing something?
