Scout’s Eye with Matt Williamson: Future of the Steelers’ rookies

31 comments

1. A sneaky Saturday episode. Thanks for the nice surprise Matt.

2. Hey i dont comment much bur i can say watching Lee through college that guy has a motor that doesnt stop, i do believe if he put on 10 to 15 lbs look out, he was great at shedding blocks and stopping the run needs work on rushing the QB, do ya think he was hid on IR for so say redshirt year?

3. Matt S would be better to have than anyone else available. The thing is he is so expensive and just has one or two decent years left so it is only wise to give up a day 3 pick for him.

4. lol, your talking about cutting a man who picked off a hall of fame QB twice. he may play out of position, but its was effective. 😉

5. The only trade I want to see the Steelers make before the draft is GP for a day 2 pick.

6. Thank you Matt, Great mailbag day. Happy Valentines Day!

7. Why would the rams trade Stafford?

8. Pickens is not going to get traded

9. Stop with the geriatric QB’s that our click bait stop with these old QB’s

10. Good work Matt!

11. Steelers are still only looking to hit 500 so it doesn’t much matter what they do.

12. Trade Pickens for draft choses a #2 , #4 depends on the team draft DL with the choses

13. Stafford is old he still pretty decent but these days you need mobility

14. Another aging QB? No thank you. We need our franchise QB – also we need to focus on this offense

15. Trading Pickens solves nothing but putting the team even further behind the 8ball. They would then need to still sign or trade lease a guy who’s gonna cost more and is older and the team would still be absent a #2.

16. trade jpj and 14

17. He's old y would you want an old bull that is pass his days…

18. Trading for Matthew Stafford makes zero sense for the Steelers. Why waste draft capital on an aging QB who doesn’t even fit Arthur Smith’s run heavy scheme? We saw what happened with Russell Wilson started strong, then collapsed because the offense isn’t built for a high-volume passer. Fields looked decent in limited action, so why not just develop him instead of overpaying for a guy who wouldn’t even thrive here? Total waste of time and picks.

19. The way y’all chase past is crazy. These D linemen are stronger and faster. Matt ain’t the answer 😂😂

20. Why even indulgent in that conversation when we have Justin Fields, we’re building for the future him

21. It’s under 50 % that Pickens gets traded. We’re not gonna get rid of him. We’re still gonna get a receiving in the draft.

22. I don’t know, typically speaking I’ll always endorse your comments, but your comments today about Pickens and Benny Bishop was very discouraging. I really feel that Bishop and George Pickens have roster spots next year and on into the future I know this conversation is what could happen or may not happen I understand that

23. I've seen enough of Pickens.

24. We need a explosive 🧨 running or wide receiver with the first pick in the draft.

25. Hey Matt. Look at Shamarri Simmons #7 ASU. Slot CB. Was converted from safety. He makes an impact. Not great stats but makes plays

26. No ones talking about it, and I see exactly why, but what happens if Graham comes in with short arms and doesn't test great at the combine. And say he's there at 12. Do you trade up for him? Cause I am, I'll say that!

27. Thanks for touching on Watts, have been very interested in seeing him come back the way he was coming on in training camp and looked like he had a spot on the 53 before he got hurt.

28. Totally disagree with trading for any washed up, arthritic, on their way out QB, including Stafford. Let's start building a real football team and search hard for that diamond in the rough QB. If that takes sacrificing Pickens, so be it, he's not a team player, he's another deva who hurts the team. I've been a Steeler's fan since 1971. Chuck Noll built a SB winning team through the draft, he had an eye for talent. Simulate that and we're good to go.

29. I don't get all the Stafford talk. Does he have a really good young back up or something? I just don't understand why a good young competitive team would want to move on from him at this point with no successor in place. Cupp I get because he's about washed up and Puka is a stud

30. Peyton Wilson and Roman Wilson. That if could finally not have the yearly or every 2 year FA tried fix of a permanent MLB certainly be the greatest. If Wilson could help be that dynamic slot to bolster 2025 also be of course would be huge including if could have it work with Austin. I mean like if you could get them play off each other or rub off each other to where Austin could break or slip thru to use his speed for some long bombs/stretching the field deep would be awesome.

31. Risky but not i say not trade Pickens for nothing less then a high 2nd round pick.
