3rivers Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 91+ pass rush rating last 2 years, we need depth at EDGE because what if we can't sign a vet and Leal doesn't work? we have depth at C and CB (but would like another CB in this draft) our QB2 is set due to salary and draft status K is in a long term deal UFA signings helped many places on the roster would have been nice to have more picks but this is a good draft and offseason for a change.

Most likely Herbig but I prefer Jammie My sleeper pick? Parker Washington @MOSteelers56 Maybe Jammie will still be around in the 7th. I’d feel really bad for him but really happy for us. His combine killed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be surprised at all if Kahn takes a page out of KC’s book and trades a 2024 4th for a 5th. Or a 2024 5th for a 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely going hard on Herbig tonight when I'm bored. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

43M Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Herbig has some pass rush moves. He isnt Bruce Davis. Yes, he needs work, but I'll say it now....I dont think he is a huge drop off from Nolan Smith. Smith went to a better situation, but as stand alone talents, I dont think they are 3 rounds apart. Nolan Smith has better physical tools, but Id rather have Herbig at the end of the 4th than Nolan Smith in the first. This draft, from a positional perspective, has gone almost as perfect as I could have imagined. Sure, I would have liked to have seen an ILB brought in, but based on value and how everything fell, it has been pretty damn good. I like the players for the most part too. These players all need coached up, but the talent is clearly there in spades with every pick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armsteeld Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Besides Herbig having a brother on the team, TJ Watt is someone that really wanted the Steelers to draft Nick. He is explosive so this could be fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You arent wrong, but if Herbig comes anywhere close to what Dupree was next to Watt, as a late 4th round pick, I will be quite happy. Dupree wasnt a star, but he became a fine compliment to Watt. I think Herbig gets the Timmons treatment. I think they will use him in various ways early on and decide where he fits best over time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be a great special teamer early. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
