Originally appeared at Steelers Now: Steelers Select Olu Fashanu in PFF Mock Draft If the Pittsburgh Steelers select a tackle in the first round, it would not be surprising if that happens.

Originally appeared at Steelers Now: Former NFL QB Scorches Justin Fields’ Game: ‘Just Not a Good Processor’ The Pittsburgh Steelers have the upside in the quarterback room by adding Justin Fields to the mix. But he’s not perfect, in fact, far from it, as he move into the next stage of his career. One legitimate concern about Fields’ game is his pocket awareness, which often leads to unnecessary sacks. He just doesn’t see the field very well. Russell Wilson has the same issue, however, so the Steelers might be dealing with a potential dilemma. Fields had two head coaches and three different of ..read more

Originally appeared at Steelers Now: Daniel Jeremiah Believes Lions Could Move Up in NFL Draft The idea of trading back is something that the Pittsburgh Steelers could easily find attractive in the 2024 NFL Draft. But it takes two to tango. Reportedly, the Buffalo Bills and Arizona Cardinals might be teams looking to come up the board. And Daniel Jeremiah thinks that the Detroit Lions, who hold the 29th overall selection, could be a team that gets aggressive and swings on a trade up, too. “Yeah, I wouldn’t rule that out. They’ve got some age on the offensive line so if there’s a guy that they ..read more

Originally appeared at Steelers Now: Steelers May Have New Trade Target in Darius Slayton Another day. and potentially, another potential trade target for the Pittsburgh Steelers at wide receiver. The idea that they could go land someone like Courtland Sutton or Brandon Aiyuk is being talked about a great deal. It makes sense given the team’s needs and reported desire to land a top fish at the position.
