Back in the 1960's/1970's, the Steelers took an innovative approach to scouting by focusing on HBCU and small college prospects, that helped build the famous Steel Curtain defense.
It also helped to have the #4 overall pick (Joe Greene) in 1969. And the #1 overall pick (Terry Bradshaw) in 1970.
It also helped to bring in a young head coach (Chuck Noll, 37 yrs old) in 1969, to set a new tone for the new young players.
I mention this because sometimes the past gives you a recipe for the future...
- Hire Chris Shula.
- Use more analytics and modern schemes to establish a system.
- Trade down in the 1st round this year to pick up a future 1st rounder.
- Use all those mid rounders to fill out our OL and prep for our new QB.
- Start Howard at QB in 2026 to see what he's got.
- If he's promising, great. If not, that means we get a high draft pick.
- Use the two 1st rounders to draft a franchise QB + elite weapon in 2027.
- Use the extra cap room to fill any weaknesses.
Complete rebuild in 2 years. Just like the Patriots did.
