It's Almost April

A couple of things:

First, a QOTD courtesy of ELSM: "What should we make of the reports that the Steelers are interested in signing both Leftwich and Batch with Ben and Dixon on the roster already?"

Second: a three-round mock draft!

Carry on.

Comp Picks Formula Sucks

A fifth-rounder? Really? I love Mewelde Moore, but come on.

Woo Hoo!

Steelers re-sign Trai Essex! And Fernando Bryant!

Still not much going on, but that's to be expected. I'd just like the last weekend in April to hurry up and get here already.

Onward, Upward

As per usual, not much going on in the free-agency department, but the Steelers hosted Joey Galloway and Chris Carr this week. I'd be cool with both players, particularly since Carr is a returner. Otherwise, well, here's to hoping Andre Smith falls to the end of the first round. (Actually, I don't expect that to happen.)

Nate Makes More than B-Mac

B-Mac's headed to Pittsburgh West. I'm sorta shocked the Steelers couldn't swing the two years, $10 million, but maybe they didn't want to. Either way, it's disappointing. Until we draft another cornerback in seven weeks, I guess.

Nate Got $27 Million

As Gretz pointed out to me last night -- and Matt mentioned in the last thread -- it's good to see Nate wear his Steelers' uni to the Titans' presser.

Also, in related free-agency news: anybody else surprised that BMac is drawing so little interest from around the league? Selfishly, I'm glad, but I find it odd.
