Stylers draft, ratings: 1 thing that Pittsburgh did not, and one thing that he definitely understood

Good things come to those who are waiting. In a sense, it was the story of the Pittsburgh Drawlets of 2025. For several times during a three -day event, a player who was in the radar of Pittsburgh was there when Stilers was on the clock.

While they thought about trading in the first round, they remained in the place when it became obvious that the compilation of a garmon from Oregon could have been an opportunity. In the end, this happened, as Stilers could Fill them the largest preliminary need (defense line) With one of the best prospectuses of the defender.

The story seemed to be repeated throughout the project of Pittsburgh. In the third round, Stylers filled another key when they made up Aiova, Kaleb Johnson, who is running back, who is expected to leave the boards before the 83rd of the total choice. On the 3rd day, Stilers compiled two members of the national title team of Ohio – Pas Jack Soyer and defender Will Howard, who were appreciated above than ultimately. Day 3 also included three other choice of values ​​in positions that needed at some depth.

In the same way, all the accounts (including this one), Stylers had a successful draft, although there was one bright thing that they did not. That’s what it was in one, along with the fact that Stylers definitely understood.

The biggest thing that Stylens did not do

Pittsburgh’s reception building is almost the same as before the project. Stylers did not make up the receiver, and they decided not to trade George Pickens, despite Several reports Staying that they at least examined this.

This is not the end of the world, but the decision of Pittsburgh not to improve its host building creates some uncertainty, especially when it comes to Pickens, which enters the last year of his deal with a newcomer. How will Pickens respond to trading rumors? Are he ready to play according to the expired contract? Will there be problems with maturity to continue to overshadow its huge potential? The answers to these questions can help determine the fate of Stylers 2025.

If Pickens approaches its potential, Stylers has a solid reception building, led by Picent and recently purchased two -time Pro Bowler DK Metcalf. The duet Pickens and Metalf can become one of the best NFL, which is one of the reasons why Pittsburgh gave Seattle the choice of the second round to purchase it. Metcalf should help discover things for Pickens, and vice versa, what can create a partnership that looks like in Philadelphia between AJ Brown and Devonta Smith.

In addition to Pickens and Metkalf, Stylers has a solid No. 3 in Calvina Austin III, who caught 36 passages for 548 yards and four points last season. Pittsburgh does not have great depths outside this, although it makes its decision not to gain a wide review.

Stylers clearly encounters Roman Wilson to rise this year after the injury (which was received during the training camp) destroyed his entire newcomer. Other reserve receivers of Pittsburgh include Scotti Miller and Ben Sokovronek, who caught 10 passes last year. Stylers also reportedly agreed to an agreement with the former 1000-yard receiver Robert Woods on Monday. In addition to adding depths, Stilers receives an unsurpassed professional in 33-year-old forests, whose addition to the locker room should be positive.

Expect Stylens will take some steps against their host building. Pittsburgh signed the unfulfilled new recruit Keshen Williams and Rock Taylor. Williams 5 feet 98 pounds spent four years in Wake-Forest, and last year last year in Indiana, five landings left in his career last year. Taylor, a large target of 6 feet and 213 pounds, caught 135 passes for 2033 yards and six landings over the past two years in Memphis.

That Stylers definitely understood

While Stylers crossed since 2024, what happened at the end of last season, undoubtedly led to what unfolded during the project.

After the start with a score of 10: 3, the aspirations in the Pittsburgh Super Cup fell over the last month of the season, since the team lost four games in a row before he suffered 28-14 beatings at the hands of the opponent of Baltimore in the round of wild cards. The addition of 299 yards of ravens on Earth, the most swift yards, which were once allowed by the Stylers team in the game after the season, were adding to injuries.

If before that it was no longer clear, this game strengthened the three largest things that Stilels should have done in the offseason: reinvestment in the defensive line, add depth to several positions and restore the physical role, which was a brand of Football States mainly since Art Runi founded the team 92 years ago.

Stylers began to make the necessary changes during a free agency when they exchanged for the acquisition of Metcalf, one of the most physical receivers of the NFL, as well as the signing of a six-time defender Pro Bowl Darius Slay, a veteran-defender Malik Harrison.

During the project, Stylers chose two defenders, two midfielders, a defender and a 224-pound trunk of a 6-foot 1-pound run in Johnson, which also has the ability to play a large game after a total nine landing of at least 25 yards during his last season in Iowa.

“This goes beyond the defensive front,” said the head coach of Stilers Mike Tomlin after the draft. “We wanted to re -study physical physical ability in all areas, the discussion includes the use of the choice of the second round to purchase DK Metcalf. Although he is the recipient, I think that he corresponds to the account in terms of physical form and size. This was definitely our agenda of the day this weekend. ”

From the point of view of depths, Stylers clearly wanted to add more talents to Pass Rusher for more reasons than one. As Tomlin loves to say, “you cannot have enough hasty men,” especially in today’s pasal NFL. Moreover, however, Stylers probably wants to have more rotation in this position to preserve TJ WATT starters (which had only two bags during the last five games of the 2024 season) and Alex Highsmith Fresh for stretching. Pittsburgh, of course, can do this now with Sawyer and third -party midfielder Nick Herbig, who filled the statistical sheet last year with 5.5 bags, four forced balls and two restorations, despite the fact that he played in only 13 games (and receives five starts).

DNA Stylens was something that was mentioned several times Tomlin and General Director Omar Khan after the project. In addition to adding depth and physical form to the composition during the project, Stylers also believes that they acquired players who personify, which means to be a styler.

When he was asked, the khan could not express in words what it means to have DNA Stylens. Fortunately for him, Sawyer, a pass -a Rosher from Columbus, who was one of the key players during the National Championship of Ohio, perfectly summed up him, discussing his mentality on a football field.

“I just try to play the game as physical and as tough as possible,” said Soyer. “Installing the region and playing in running is all that concerns masculinity on the male, and for me it is a kind of I, like a guy, as a man. And I love the legendary defense that we had throughout Pittsburgh and the resistance with which they play, and I can’t wait to become part of this. ”
