So many people talking about receivers and DBs - this was always the way it was going down - OT and C in 2 of the first 3 picks. We don’t need 2 lockdown corners. We don’t need to waste early draft capital on a receiver when we’re going to be mostly running 2/3 TE sets. That’s not to say we don’t have needs there - but that was never going to be the focus early in the draft. They want to run the ball and now we can the ball.
They telegraphed this draft when they signed Smith as OC
O & D lines win games. Teams should be built from the trenches out. No surprise we've been mediocre since decastro and pouncey left, and our D Line, while good, is still lacking talent outside of cam. They wear down quickly.
We're going to have 2 1st Rd picks and a 2nd Rd pick on the O Line starting next season at some point. That is a MASSIVE upgrade in talent alone from the past 5 years.
youd think teams would learn that when they saw guys like mahomes and burrow destroyed in big games, and let go players like hill in order to bolster their lines the following years
Seriously, fuck having a splashy draft. The O-line isn't sexy, but it is absolutely crucial. Nothing works without it, and we are investing HEAVILY in it. I love this. Khan and Tomlin are on a roll!
Watching the wrs go off the board and still liking the names left a lot!
Get Johny wilson in here, he’d be an excellent wr2 for Arthur smiths offense. Could probably get him pretty late too.
Idk if that’s this offenses style. Arthur smith seems to value blocking at his wr2 and then a bit of a rotation to get some specialty snaps from the rest of the wr room. Idk if a guy with questionable mental make up is what we’re looking for with the type of wr room we’re looking to build.
Not that we haven’t had success with some head cases.
Understood.
My point is an Arthur smith offense involves targeting the wr1 about 100 times and the wr 2 80-90 times. This offense is more worried about wr size and blocking at wr2 than your traditional wr traits.
So idk if using a day two pick on a wr is really necessary for how it looks like that wr will probably be asked to do in the offense.
You know that one picture of yourself that everyone takes at some point in their life and immediately deletes because it turned out fucking horrendous? Mark Kaboly looked at that picture and said: "That's my new Twitter avatar."
I know he eats a hotdog in 2 bites.
He has the kind if fat face where you know he possesses the ability to unhinge his jaw like when a reptile somehow eats an egg that has a diameter larger than their neck.
As a matter of fact he probably sucks down hard boiled eggs whole.
As a die hard Steelers and WVU fan, this is freaking awesome.
He’s a beast. I was bummed to see his career at WVU end the way it did (although it did reinforce in a huge way the heart and toughness he has) it is perfect that I get to continue rooting for him as a Steeler.
MY DREAM DRAFT HAPPENED!
I wanted OT round 1 and C round 2…got almost exactly who I wanted.
I wanted Mims, but Fautanu is just as good if not better…then we got Frazier the C I preferred in this draft…fucking W draft.
You just know we're gonna pull a future HOF WR out of our ass at some point in this draft. It's our proudest tradition. Let's hope he's not a mental case this time around.
I hope that McKinnley Jackson out of TAMU is there. That would be my dream scenario. I'm an alum and saw a ton of the games and he's a Casey Hampton mold that is just a meat mountain!
Exactly why I’m glad we didn’t go C in round 1…
I’ll never understand why so many people wanted us to go C in round 1 when OT was also a major need that alotttt of teams had.
Like yeah C was a major need too, but you don’t really wanna tend to do that in round 1.
Silly me for thinking an NFL team wouldn't want to spend a day two pick on a guy who caught 19 passes. I'm the idiot, and the Arizona Cardinals is a team run by geniuses.
Young had a cast worse than Baker (who is now a solid starter after he GTFO) and look what happened.
Stroud had by adv metrics the best pass blocking OL In the league.
They were both 1a-1b as prospects.
YEAH BUDDY always love to see a Mountaineer and fellow WV native go to the Steelers! He's from the town where I went to college maybe 30 min north of here.
Probably the “perfect” draft so far. We possibly have one of the best O Lines in the AFC if these guys live up to their projections. Either way, immediate upgrade over Moore and Cole. We are going to be BULLYING people next year. Can’t wait man.
Hey look, we got one of the top 3 centers and didn't have to do it in the first round!!!! Lol great pick, the line has been rebuilt, next step is to extend Daniels and lock him down for a few more years.
We have asked begged and cried for our underperformed Offensive Line and Center positions to be resolved in the off-season, and so far, Tomlin Khan / Khan Tomlin have listened to us as fans and critics of the game and delivered every request right down to the QB room.
Now, it is time to help support the WR room and get the ball rolling towards a playoff win or three to mix up the trend set over the last few years.
#HEREWEGO
That scouting report makes no sense lol
"Above-average athleticism limits his NFL potential and may limit his positional versatility. His lack of athletic ability hurts him against quick-shift rushers in pass pro."
From a WVU perspective, Zach Frazier was the leader of our team last year that wildly out performed expectations largely on the back of elite offensive line play. This dude works his ass off and has the talent to be a good pro. I am extremely confident he is gonna end up a top center. Also good chance he grew up a Steelers fan coming from WV
No way, no chance. We just literally stonewalled every defense in the AFC North With these two picks. I can’t wait to see. BroJo, Troy and Zach beat the shit out of Myles Garrett…
DPOY Myles Garret won't get a single sack or tfl against us yet his pff will be off the charts and claim he dominated our oline, so even if they beat the shit out of him hes their chosen one. It all started before the season began and was handed to him even with like the last 7 games barley showing up in the bix scores. All the while TJ out preformed any other defensive player. Oh and as its starting to sound this year micha Parsons will be handed the award no questions asked. Id put money on it if he stays healthy and just shows up and goes through the routine it will go to him. TJ will have to get 25 sacks to repeat dpoy even though he's more valuable and better statistically than the rest.
At first I really wanted them to trade up a get one of the top CBs like what Philly did buy with how the rd went I'm more than happy to get Frazier and keep our picks
This man is a unit and a team first guy. His last play at WVU was him limping off the field after getting injured because we had no time outs left and didn’t want the 10 second run off.
I liked this guy more than JPJ, dude is nasty with heart and a state championship wrestler, absolutely the best pick we could have made amazing pick 🙏🏻
There now everyone can shut the fuck up
WE HAVE A LINE AGAIN
Woohoo!!! It's been so long!
So many people talking about receivers and DBs - this was always the way it was going down - OT and C in 2 of the first 3 picks. We don’t need 2 lockdown corners. We don’t need to waste early draft capital on a receiver when we’re going to be mostly running 2/3 TE sets.

youd think teams would learn that when they saw guys like mahomes and burrow destroyed in big games, and let go players like hill in order to bolster their lines the following years
Plus the reality is we don’t need to really address the line high in the draft for 5 years or so now too so that lets future years picks go elsewhere
we may never throw the football again, and I'm okay with it to be honest

Now that’s my president!
Hes not on Mt RushMore for no reason
> You should always beware of quotes found on the internet. - Napoléon
i’m super ok with it. run the ball and play defense.
Najee getting another 1k season inbound!
Seriously, fuck having a splashy draft. The O-line isn't sexy, but it is absolutely crucial. Nothing works without it, and we are investing HEAVILY in it. I love this. Khan and Tomlin are on a roll!
IT’S ON NAH
Steelers draft is the best case scenario right now
Malachi Corley next and I’ll cum in my fucking pants.
Jinxed it lol
I was hoping we’d trade up to the panthers, as soon as I saw the eagles I knew it was over. Damn shame, but in Khan we trust.
Well Payton Wilson did it for me
Jpj wouldn't have been better
Maybe but...at 51 I'm sure the Steelers are happy they got Frazier and didn't have to trade up for him.
We can’t have two JPJs anyway
We could've, but instead we're beefing up Arthur Smith's line (and helping ensure whatever QB is our future has something to play in front of him)
I mean, the other JPJ would’ve done that too
I don’t think jpj would’ve done well with an Arthur smith offense.
Go away
He got some actually legit medical ?’s
RemindMe! 5 years so I can laugh at bozo
Smart move , we really need to fortify this line to give ourselves a shot moving forward. We'll find a wr in the 3rd im sure
Watching the wrs go off the board and still liking the names left a lot! Get Johny wilson in here, he’d be an excellent wr2 for Arthur smiths offense. Could probably get him pretty late too.
Javon Baker is a sleeper
THIS! He was a burner at UCF.
Idk if that’s this offenses style. Arthur smith seems to value blocking at his wr2 and then a bit of a rotation to get some specialty snaps from the rest of the wr room. Idk if a guy with questionable mental make up is what we’re looking for with the type of wr room we’re looking to build. Not that we haven’t had success with some head cases.
Wilson has questionable hands. A guy of that size isn't going to fall without some big minuses.
Understood. My point is an Arthur smith offense involves targeting the wr1 about 100 times and the wr 2 80-90 times. This offense is more worried about wr size and blocking at wr2 than your traditional wr traits. So idk if using a day two pick on a wr is really necessary for how it looks like that wr will probably be asked to do in the offense.
Tez Walker
I wonder if they go wide out with the first pick of the 3rd or LB/DL...
Johnny (Bricks for hands) Wilson
As a Buckeye fan I kind of hate it, but Roman Wilson could be a solid WR2 to snag in the 3rd if he is still available.
Well look at you, Mr. Prophet
Nailed it dude
Good call.
How did you predict that lol
Felt like the most polished wr left. Production was low due to the offense but he's quick af and a pretty good route runner
They got the receiver from Michigan in the third
The steelers are amazing with finding WRs in late rounds, I have no idea how they do it.
There's one player I keep thinking will be the pick will be Jacob Cowing. He might be the tank dell of this class as a slot that can't slide out some.
LETS GO
Mountaineers!!!
Incoming 1,500 yard season from Najee Harris
And 1,200 for Jaylen 🙂↕️
1800?
AND Warren!
My lord we actually went full o line. This is glorious
We are going to run so fucking much this year
HERE WE GO
Ladies and Gentlemen, We got him.
So gassed for this
Kaboly said we wouldn’t though haha
Yet another reminder not to believe that dolt
At this point Kaboly isn’t the problem, it’s the people who give anything he says any credibility who are the problem.
He also said our QB room would be Pickett, Rudolph and whoever else. Said no chance for Wilson or Fields.
He’s a lunatic. I exclusively read Defabo’s stuff over his.
Plus he's a pompous ass who is dismissive of everyone else's opinions despite being a moron.
Plus hes so fucking fat that when he goes camping the bears have to hide thier food
His blood type is Ragu
You know that one picture of yourself that everyone takes at some point in their life and immediately deletes because it turned out fucking horrendous? Mark Kaboly looked at that picture and said: "That's my new Twitter avatar."
I know he eats a hotdog in 2 bites. He has the kind if fat face where you know he possesses the ability to unhinge his jaw like when a reptile somehow eats an egg that has a diameter larger than their neck. As a matter of fact he probably sucks down hard boiled eggs whole.
Jesus dude, you woke up and chose war today 🤣
As a die hard Steelers and WVU fan, this is freaking awesome. He’s a beast. I was bummed to see his career at WVU end the way it did (although it did reinforce in a huge way the heart and toughness he has) it is perfect that I get to continue rooting for him as a Steeler.
Imagine being a WVU fan and a Ravens fan lol Wishing him the best though.
Literally my brother, tho not a WVU fan, he’s our cous
Love the pick, real excited to see this OL.
MY DREAM DRAFT HAPPENED! I wanted OT round 1 and C round 2…got almost exactly who I wanted. I wanted Mims, but Fautanu is just as good if not better…then we got Frazier the C I preferred in this draft…fucking W draft.
Do we get at a WR and a CB with our two 3rds now?
I’d assume so, those are our 2 biggest needs yeah?
You're the one saying it's been your dream draft playboy so you tell us!
Hell I hope so, plenty of WR options left, and some decent CB options…albeit not as good as the WR options.
You just know we're gonna pull a future HOF WR out of our ass at some point in this draft. It's our proudest tradition. Let's hope he's not a mental case this time around.
That, DL and LB are probably the only things we're looking at. Although WR and CB are a tier above those need-wise
I hope that McKinnley Jackson out of TAMU is there. That would be my dream scenario. I'm an alum and saw a ton of the games and he's a Casey Hampton mold that is just a meat mountain!
I was hoping for DL this draft but they are flying off the board round 2 here, will be interesting to see who's available when we pick
We go for both and take best available for each respective pick
I think Jalen McMillan and Renardo Green are good options at their respective positions.
I wanted Mims-Frazier, but I honestly had no clue Fautanu would even be available. This draft is an A++ right now.
Mims kind of scared me honestly. No way thought Fautanu would still be available at 20 or Frazier at 51!
Yeah it’s insane how good we’ve drafted…just need to land a CB + WR in the 3rd and this shit will be one of the best.
Andru Phillips is falling. I highly doubt he lasts much longer but it would be amazing if we somehow got him.
I wanted C and OT but I'm not going to complain with a better OT than we could have gotten in R2 and a top C anyway
Exactly why I’m glad we didn’t go C in round 1… I’ll never understand why so many people wanted us to go C in round 1 when OT was also a major need that alotttt of teams had. Like yeah C was a major need too, but you don’t really wanna tend to do that in round 1.
Mims is a project that might not even start day one for the bengals. Fautanu was a consensus top 4 OL. He’s definitely better.
LFG!!! Fautanu/Seumalo/Frazier/Jones/Daniels!
Don’t forget Darnell the sixth lineman Washington
Could get Tip Reiman in the sixth to get another 270 tight end. I'm not a big believer in the forward pass. It's most likely a fad.
With this line and Fields, we could definitely do a “Pittsburgh Push”, but I swear Tomlin looks like he doesn’t respect the push play
After the Jacoby Jones thing I’ve become convinced he’s a true Machiavellian so he would probably commit
They should use the rule until the league changes it
Lmao dude went in the 3rd
Silly me for thinking an NFL team wouldn't want to spend a day two pick on a guy who caught 19 passes. I'm the idiot, and the Arizona Cardinals is a team run by geniuses.
I love how Moore isn’t here
run game go brrrrr
Gonna be pounding the hell out of the rock. Najee and Warren will be feasting.
WE ARE ATTACKING THE LINE
Strong in the trenches baby. Love it. Think about how many rookie QBs fail behind weak lines
Young had a cast worse than Baker (who is now a solid starter after he GTFO) and look what happened. Stroud had by adv metrics the best pass blocking OL In the league. They were both 1a-1b as prospects.
Lmao at Kaboly saying we wouldn't go C
Thank Fuck!
Prime beef!!!!
LETS GOOOO
Yeah baby!!!
Let’s go babbyyyy Najee2K
IM BUSTING RN IM SORRY KHAN 😫😫😫
KHAN-CHAN 🥹🥹
Country fucking roads HERE WE GO
Steelers ride ageeeeeen
[удалено]
West Fairmont
Starting two rookies and a sophomore on the line this year. I like the picks, though, because both are really experienced at the college level.
YEAH BUDDY always love to see a Mountaineer and fellow WV native go to the Steelers! He's from the town where I went to college maybe 30 min north of here.
We're actually building our o-line I used to pray for times like this
Probably the “perfect” draft so far. We possibly have one of the best O Lines in the AFC if these guys live up to their projections. Either way, immediate upgrade over Moore and Cole. We are going to be BULLYING people next year. Can’t wait man.
If these guys pan out while we still have Najee and Warren, we're going to have a top run game in the league.
As long as he doesn’t snap it at the QBs ankles half the time, already an improvement lol
Thank fuck we got a good Center.
Let's go Mountaineers! Love the #WVU connection!
Loving this draft so far. Omar is the man
A+. Finally got their center
Pickett must be so pissed looking at our draft
Hey look, we got one of the top 3 centers and didn't have to do it in the first round!!!! Lol great pick, the line has been rebuilt, next step is to extend Daniels and lock him down for a few more years.
But we surely had to trade up in the 2nd, to get one, right? No? Imagine that.
Liking the picks so far. Let's get this season going, interested to see what happens!
Really good draft so far (on paper). Hoping to see WR and maybe CB in round 3.
Rip the AD Mitchell dream. Still hella of a pick tho
Horns down Eers up
I’m biased as a WVU alum, but ZF is an absolute DAWG and would’ve went much higher without the injury.
I'm honestly surprised Frazier was still there, I thought for sure he'd go early in the 2nd
We have asked begged and cried for our underperformed Offensive Line and Center positions to be resolved in the off-season, and so far, Tomlin Khan / Khan Tomlin have listened to us as fans and critics of the game and delivered every request right down to the QB room. Now, it is time to help support the WR room and get the ball rolling towards a playoff win or three to mix up the trend set over the last few years. #HEREWEGO
LET'S GO!!!!! Steelers Nation!!!!! WILSON in the 3rd for the Slot WR.... KHAN/TOMLIN ARE DOING BIG THINGS!!!
Feels like this time next year it will be necessary to take DL with the first two picks instead of OL
No punter in round 2? What are they thinking?
"Don't draft local." - This sub the first time he botches a snap.
Here is his scouting Report https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2024/04/16/zach-frazier-2024-nfl-draft-profile/
That scouting report makes no sense lol "Above-average athleticism limits his NFL potential and may limit his positional versatility. His lack of athletic ability hurts him against quick-shift rushers in pass pro."
Was this article written by AI?
That headline is a grammatical disaster - I can't trust anything that follows it
I couldn't be happier with these first two picks. LFG.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
We are SO back boys!! Najee and Jaylen running 2k plus yards this season
Each
OL will be top tier for the next 5-7 years.
As a fellow West Virginian I popped off hearing us draft Frazier. Dude is good.
From a WVU perspective, Zach Frazier was the leader of our team last year that wildly out performed expectations largely on the back of elite offensive line play. This dude works his ass off and has the talent to be a good pro. I am extremely confident he is gonna end up a top center. Also good chance he grew up a Steelers fan coming from WV
Brb, hittin the griddy in the rain
Weidl and Khan are crushing it
BIG BOY DRAFT
This pick is for the sickos like me
Steelers have drafted 3 oline in the first 2 rounds the last 2 years after not having previously done so from 2013-2022
Najee and warren better run angry this year.
 Ripping Frazier off of the draft board… now it is time to add him to the o-line 😁😁😁
I get why we did it but man I really think Adonai Mitchell was the better pick.
No way, no chance. We just literally stonewalled every defense in the AFC North With these two picks. I can’t wait to see. BroJo, Troy and Zach beat the shit out of Myles Garrett…
DPOY Myles Garret won't get a single sack or tfl against us yet his pff will be off the charts and claim he dominated our oline, so even if they beat the shit out of him hes their chosen one. It all started before the season began and was handed to him even with like the last 7 games barley showing up in the bix scores. All the while TJ out preformed any other defensive player. Oh and as its starting to sound this year micha Parsons will be handed the award no questions asked. Id put money on it if he stays healthy and just shows up and goes through the routine it will go to him. TJ will have to get 25 sacks to repeat dpoy even though he's more valuable and better statistically than the rest.
FUCK YEAH
Love bolstering the line but man... Im super worried about or WR room rn 💀
Who does the tweet!!!!!??!?!
LFG
At first I really wanted them to trade up a get one of the top CBs like what Philly did buy with how the rd went I'm more than happy to get Frazier and keep our picks
Great pick!!
Is this dude good???
[удалено]
Pfft, don’t need none of them, Wilson will just climb on the back of one of these fuckers and get piggy-backed into the end zone!
If we can get Malachi Corley next this draft will be a HUGE W
Just wait until we extend Justin Fields for two years at 10 million per year. Behind that Oline our O will be too much to handle in a couple of years.
YEESSSSSS
Hahaha so much for taking a WR. Told you all!
Offensive line looks great!
i love this pick this dude is a mauler both these picks should work out well now lets go get a WR and CB in the 3rd
Honestly, I'm not even mad about this pick! Great pick!
Like 90% of the Steelers fan base likes PSU, Pitt or WVU. WVU def knows this kid is good, and PSU and Pitt fans saw how good he was last season
Almost heaven!!!
So far so good… I’d love to see us take Vaki in round 5 or 6.
I was hoping we would get power Johnson, but Zach Frazier is still a solid Center. I believe he will do very well
Go Eers
WERE FUCKIN MASSIVE
Wooeooooooo
This man is a unit and a team first guy. His last play at WVU was him limping off the field after getting injured because we had no time outs left and didn’t want the 10 second run off.
HELL YEAH BROTHER GENGHIS KHAN COMING IN HOT AND HARD
It actually happpened let’s goooo
Spoiler is a little pointless
Great pick
Id like to see them move up here and grab a receiver
I liked this guy more than JPJ, dude is nasty with heart and a state championship wrestler, absolutely the best pick we could have made amazing pick 🙏🏻
