For several years now, I have kept a personal running spreadsheet during the draft process. My goal was to learn about the players by gathering information. I will share a visual and some takeaways from my data points, called interest and athletic scores, with explanations to follow. As Dave Bryan and Alex Kozora discuss regularly, […]

Just earlier today, we noted the history of the Pittsburgh Steelers first-round picks. Every selection since at least 2010 has either come in for a pre-draft visit or had a decision-maker, general manager or head coach attend their Pro Day. History that is tangible, strong, and logical. It seems unbreakable. Why would a team use […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers new coaching staff have only been around players for two weeks. The group can’t even take the practice field until Monday’s voluntary minicamp. Still, first impressions matter. New Steelers coach and defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, one player has immediately stuck out. Speaking to reporters Friday, Graham singled out cornerback Brandin Echols. “Brandin […]

New Pittsburgh Steelers Special Teams Coordinator Danny Crossman knows there’s one thing a 40 time or data set can’t measure: Toughness. To him, it’s the basic ingredient required for anyone to play and succeed. Good news. He thinks Pittsburgh has plenty of it. “The good thing about this team, one thing you’re not going to […]

From now until the 2026 NFL Draft, we will scout and create profiles for as many prospects as possible, examining their strengths, weaknesses and what they can bring to an NFL franchise. These players could be potential top-10 picks, all the way to Day 3 selections and priority undrafted free agents. Today, a scouting report […]

Heading into the home stretch of the NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first-round board feels wide open. As unclear as ever, really. For the PPG’s Gerry Dulac, the pick at No. 21, or elsewhere in the first round, should there be a trade, could go in four directions. Wide receiver is obvious. If not a […]

With the NFL Draft almost here, it’s time to review some of the work done over the past three months. Our team’s done a great job compiling what will finish as well over 300 prospect scouting reports. I will end up with 70 of them. Below is a list of my 2026 draft “superlatives” based […]

While Brian Angelichio is the Steelers’ offensive coordinator, HC Mike McCarthy will call the plays. What goes into that dynamic? In his press conference with reporters yesterday, Angelichio went into more detail about what that entails. While it’s not uncommon for head coaches to retain play-calling duties, we haven’t had that on offense in Pittsburgh. […]

While Mike McCarthy will call plays for the Steelers’ offense, Patrick Graham is confident he runs the ship on defense. A veteran defensive coordinator, he replaces Teryl Austin, who left with nearly all of Mike Tomlin’s coaching staff. Under Tomlin, for most of his tenure, he wielded significant control over the defense. Under McCarthy, the […]

Is the draft’s linebacker talent too good for the Steelers to pass up? While few anticipated it early on, the Steelers have a pretty clear interest in this draft’s linebackers. Considering they already have a full room of inside linebackers, that interest is notable. Now, most of the room is entering this season on expiring […]

The NFL Draft is always unpredictable and under a new head coach, it’s fuzzier than any time in recent memory to guess who the Pittsburgh Steelers will select in the first round. But if history continues predicting the future, it’ll be one of the eight below names. Every year since at least 2010, Pittsburgh’s first-round […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers currently hold the 21st overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft that kicks off next Thursday night. The team’s biggest needs are arguably at wide receiver and offensive line, especially at left guard. Beat writer Mark Kaboly consistently pegged Washington WR Denzel Boston as his guy for the 21st pick. However, Kaboly […]

In recent weeks, the left side of the offensive line has really grown in popularity as a first-round option for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2026 NFL Draft. They lost their starting left guard in Isaac Seumalo and don’t have any standout players to replace him. At left tackle, things are complicated and very unproven […]
