The defense will be much improved but Pederson is going to need to work wonders to keep up with these offenses in the AFC.

The Steelers dropped Pickett into an offense that immediately has Diontae, Claypool, Freiermuth, Harris, Pickens, and Calvin Austin.
Ridder gets Pitts and London.
Howell gets McLaurin, Dotson, Gibson, and Logan Thomas.

To be fair the Titans screwed Willis.

It's borderline criminal how bad the Jags have supported Lawrence compared to almost every other rookie contract QB.

At least Willis will have a year or two before he sees the field. They also spent their draft capital on replacing what they lost with 2 WRs, a TE, A RB, and a lineman. Seems like they had a plan to build for Willis in the future.

I totally forgot the Steelers (already loaded at WR) took Pickens and Austin. Rich get richer.

They are laughing at this team for picking Walker over Hutchinson…

Baalke is a joke..

Oh no, a typewriter jockey mocks us, whatever shall we do?

Especially since it’s Schein, the hot take, no research hack of NFL.com.

Fix the O-Line!

so the solution was to put TLaw in a situation where he had to put up 35 or take the L?

This is very pouty, sorry that the team didn't take the guy(s) you wanted. Outside of that excuse, there's very little to fault the actual picks that were made. These core guys weren't reaches. They're going to be valuable parts to a defense that will need to be affordable and productive while the offense garners so much of our capital, whether that be through FA or contract renewals.

You can't hold the current regime for the poor strategy Dave employed with the Ramsey haul. We can all agree that need took priority over value for those picks. And if you think taking D. Lloyd at 27 is close to the equivalent wastefulness of taking ETN at 25 last year, no words are going to matter in this conversation.

I'm willing to see what all the FA WR and other supporting cast can do before I start climbing the stairs of the modis building. Give us a wave once you reach the top, man.

No, I want a team capable of scoring 35 a game regardless of the outcome; then we fix the defense problem after we can do that. You know, like the Chiefs did. You'd rather lose games 24-10? Because that's what the current strategy gets us, a decent defense with an offense that has trouble getting first downs. I'm not suicidal over this, but I disagree with the strategy we're seeing. I hope it works out in the end, but I think we're just building another roster that gets us what we already had. Pederson is the key, can he make chicken salad from this?

(the chiefs darfted two defenders before addressing the vacuum left by T. Hill, and I don't think it's fair to say without Hill they're just as capable to drop 30 every Sunday.)

This all comes down primarily to the fact that first and foremost you didn't like our FA haul. Had the FA we brought in gave more confidence, a defense-heavy top of draft is an easier pill to swallow, I get that. I feel that Doug has never been a win by blitzkrieg kind of guy, and there's a very different expectation of a 2nd-year QB and an established veteran like Mahomes; having a stable defense will allow some wiggle room for mistakes not to put us in an insurmountable deficit, hopefully.

I sincerely believe that next year the prime focus will be finding our Jamarr Chase if Kirk (or Jones!) don't establish themselves in that role first. We're heading in the right direction.

It has to be a great pick if you hate it.

Go to the Steelers Message Board and you will see them complaining that they have the worst offensive line in the NFL and have done next to nothing this offseason to improve it.  

The Steelers Offensive Line consists of the following starters on their depth chart:

* Moore Jr., Dan 2021/4th round
* Dotson, Kevin 2020/4th round
* Cole, Mason 2018/3rd round
* Daniels, James 2018/2nd round
* Okorafor, Chukwuma 2019/3rd round

They've done nothing in their interior to help Picket or Najee Harris out.

Think we would have done better to ditch Baalke and not cash dump over pay in Free agency. He set his own table because Khan is locked in his corner.

I don't think the draft was too bad and I will hope for the best. We screwed the pooch and robbed Trevor his rookie year. Now we are a year behind and wasting time.

Yep, and they will regret that decision to not use some of those picks on oline

Wouldn't say "rich"; maybe "decent" or "adequate". Their WR corp was nothing great last year; I think Pickett is too green to come in right away and outperform Big Ben, and that's taking into account how mediocre [Big Ben's] last year was. We will see if they can elevate Pickett or the other way around.

Same magazine gives the Jags a D rating in the draft….

"If you always do what you've always done, You'll always get what you always got"

One other thing I really wish the Jags had done…. Take Ross in round 7 instead of some project CB.

Ross did have some medicals but it looks like the Chiefs (one of the best organizations in the league) were fine with him.

I would have rather it been Bo Melton or Chris Paul.
