Colts’ 2021 draft class earns solid approval from fans Scott Horner/USA TODAY Network photo illustration via Imagn Content Services, LLC With the NFL Draft officially in the books, Colts fans were asked to give their overall grades for the team’s 2021 draft class. 9% of fans gave the draft class an “A,” which is understandable. Left tackle was (and still is) one of the team’s biggest needs. And while the Colts didn’t address that need through the draft, there are plenty of free agen...

Photo by Scott Taetsch/Getty Images In the 2nd Round of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Pat Freiermuth, tight end from Penn State. Tight end was a need for the Steelers, as they had Eric Ebron, but beyond Ebron they had some good depth pieces but nothing significant. Offensive coordinator Matt Canada typically uses multiple tight ends in his offense, so adding a second good tight end to the roster was a priority. What Pat Freiermuth brings to that offense is the focus of thi...

May 3, 2021 The Steelers had a solid draft. To get my take on their first three picks, click HERE.  The Steelers’ selections added up to a concerted effect to fix the running game.

In the end, it added up.  Fantasy football draf...

Over the course of the most recent NFL Draft cycle concluding on Saturday, many former Penn State football standouts found new homes at the next level. In total, six Nittany Lions heard their names called throughout the seven-round event, including two-first round selections for the first time since 2003 in Micah Parsons and Odafe Oweh. For the first time in program history, three Penn Staters were picked in a row toward the latter half of the final round. Safety Lamont Wade was the only Nitta...

May 3, 2021 PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers went into the 2021 NFL Draft with a plan and came away with a pretty perfect group of players. From fixing the run game to finding depth on defense and allowing a smoother transition for guys like Cam Sutton were all on the agenda, and were all accomplished through seven rounds. How big of an impact can the Steelers nine new rookies have in 2021, though? Its never easy to say a seventh-round pick will see the field, but maybe they will. And when...

The Pittsburgh Steelers headed into the offseason intent on finding ways to become a little less reliant on quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Enter Najee Harris, Matt Freiermuth and Kendrick Green. The AFC North champions used their top picks in the 2021 draft on players they believe can provide the offense with a dash of physicality it lacked while wilting down the stretch last season.

Its never what you think with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The first round attracts the attention, the hype, the television ratings, the red carpet, the biggest crowds, and generates the excitement. Its the NFL Commissioner who announces all of the first-round picks and has a hug for any of them who want one. The picks in the first round are debated and analyzed and graded immediately, and theyre remembered for decades, for better or worse, b...

The Steelers were willing to pass on good defensive players for Najee Harris, whom they felt would change the attitude of the running game.
