Draft Reaction · Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers just picked their future. Here's the verdict.

Yinz thought this was it for us? Think again

From the North Shore, right across from Acrisure Stadium, where the smell of Primanti's is already in the air, let's talk about what just went down. The Pittsburgh Steelers just wrapped up their draft class, and honestly, Pittsburgh, are yinz surprised? This ain't no surprise party at the South Side's Carson Street. We needed help. Real help. And to some extent, we got it. We brought in some serious talent, like Troy Fautanu on the offensive line and Zach Frazier at center. Those are big boys, exactly what we needed up front to get back to running the ball like a proper Pittsburgh Steelers team should. Then we picked up Roman Wilson, a wide receiver who can really fly. This whole class feels like they're trying to inject some much-needed toughness and speed back into this team.

We were all hoping for a clear path, a vision, and I think we got it, mostly. The mood in Pittsburgh? It's not euphoric, not yet, but there's a definite buzz. People are talking on the bridges, saying these picks could finally give us the foundation we've been missing. We needed to address the trenches, and they did that. We needed playmakers, and they tried to get 'em. It's about getting back to that hard-nosed, grind-it-out Pittsburgh Steelers football that we all remember and demand.

Overall, I'm gonna give this class one word: **Promising.**

From Bloomfield to Acrisure — yinz ready? It's Sunday in Pittsburgh.
