So, you’re probably wondering what kind of circus the Steelers pulled off during the draft, right? It’s like, are we supposed to clap or facepalm? Let’s untangle this mess.
First off, some folks were all about getting a superstar QB. But guess what? Steelers zigged when they should’ve zagged—or so some say. Anyway, draft day was more like a chess game, minus the checkmate. They focused on snagging players who fit their puzzle, which, let’s be honest, felt more like a gamble than a strategy. But that’s the Steelers for you.
Remember Jack Sawyer? No? Well, nobody saw him coming! The Steelers just kinda swiped him off the board, and everyone’s scratching their heads. An edge rusher when you barely need one—yep, typical!
Now, you’ve got Derrick Harmon in the first round. At that point, the QB camp was still pretty full. They had their shot at stars like Shedeur Sanders, but they passed. Why? Maybe they had a sixth sense, or maybe they rolled some dice. I dunno.
Fast forward to round three, and it’s still a QB fiesta, but nah, they went for Kaleb Johnson. He’s a bit slower at the Combine, but his tape might show a different speed—or maybe they just want us to think that. Crafty!
And then there’s this whole wide receiver drama. Steelers didn’t draft one, but then grabbed Robert Woods from free agency. Like, why the surprise move? Do they have secret plans with Sawyer, or were they just on autopilot? The team’s motivations are anyone’s guess.
Let’s not forget those historical sore spots like Pat Freiermuth over Creed Humphrey. Steelers fans still chew on that one like a tough piece of jerky. And hey, don’t pretend the seventh-round pick doesn’t matter. If anyone can screw that up, it’s the Steelers.
Are they rebuilding? Reloading? Reinventing the wheel? Depends on who you ask. Last season’s playoff flop still stings. The quarterback saga lingers on, with George Pickens’ fate sorta sealed but not really. Contracts, trades, and drama—Steelers-style.
The offseason stretches out like a rusty accordion. Fingers crossed they don’t step on any rakes. Or maybe they like the thrill?
Anyway, we wait and watch as this wild ride barrels on. Steelers gonna Steeler.
