The Terrible Take - Episode 1857 - April 4, 2026

0:00Go home to the terrible take a mini podcast telling Steelers nation. What's on our mind? I'm Joe Clark I got plenty of flack in my mock draft last week for the selection of Georgia linebacker CJ Allen in the first round My understanding what's coming from but I do think that off-ball linebacker is a position. We could look at more closely in the first rounds Alan is projected to be a first round pick. Well, there's plenty of talent on day two Hence where some of the frustration of taking Alan or any first roundbacker comes into play But I don't think it's really a guarantee that somebody like Jake old. They mix it to the Steelers most second round and Well, Jacob Rodriguez would certainly be a nice sketch for the Steelers on day two. There's no guarantee. He gets there either At this point, I ultimately do think it's more like a little drop pick and it's a line pick. It does come on day two But the Steelers addressed all their key positions and needs and for agency except really for off-ball linebacker It did a recent co-holcomb

1:01But with Patrick Queen set to be a free agent The Steelers need a more long-term solution at the position Pete and Wilson didn't really take a step up last year that many expected and there's real questions whether he could be a long-term You know, LB1 instead of just kind of that second guy Maybe a rotational guy And it dropped off a lot of linebacker talent I could certainly see the Steelers taking one in the first round towards sure they have the position short up long term If it's not in the first round by the end of day two the Steelers will walk away with a linebacker But I just really would not be all that surprised if it came in the first round You should have followed the Steelers Super.com check out episodes of the Turbo Take every day.
