I PRAY that the Steelers take a quarterback in the first round because, like you said, it would be, at best, a lateral move and would prevent them from improving at another position.


All of those fanbases have to be in panic mode.

Good observation. If the best this draft class can be is Trubisky-like, it doesn't make sense to take a qb. If Trubisky can mature, grow, and reach his draft position potential, then they wouldn't need anyone. That's a big 'if.'

But it appears that they did just that. The things that I will say with Pickett though, is that being the safe pick that he is, if he is = to Mitch, at least they have him for two additional years and cheaply. I doubt he will be worse than Mitch. 

Also, you have to believe that their familiarity with him makes them trust that he can be more than what everyone is projecting. Given their shared training facilities, the Panthers and Steelers interact everyday. They are pretty much one big team. He's practically been a Steeler for 5 years now. Of course that could cause them to over focus on him, but you have to trust that they can take the emotion out of it. Thats kinda a requirement of the job. 

I guess we shall see. I've got hopes that he can grow into a really good QB soon. But maybe I an idiot? Who knows?
