Are there any rules? Have to wait any time? Anything? Are teams already thinking of guys with their cell on speed dial for seconds after the last pick? Will there be any signings today or tomorrow?

Can't wait to see who we bring in.

hopefully DL depth and ILB help I think we have enough bodies for the OL they need to man up and play.

i don't know the rules myself. But I do predict lots of large humans being brought in.

Soon as it's over... I'm not aware of any rules. Therefore it's survival of the most aggressive. We likely already have a list together and Tomlin will be A1 as a necessary voice on these. Colburn too for some and a couple other coaches may be making calls.

Half the teams have probably already made phonecalls

Teams are not supposed to contact draft picks to be signed UNTIL the draft is over. They do it anyway, but the rules state they can't.


And, we won't see anything official until Monday afternoon. Some leak, but the official announcement is usually later, once the Steelers get signed contracts in hand.

Everyone basically makes phone calls during the draft, throws out the hypotheticals.

If you guys want, when it is done, I'll get a list of the bigger names undrafted by position.

And, I think Bowman has already had talks with the Bengals. Chris Henry's supplier has graciously decided to pick up half the signing bonus.

Anyone know if a Mr. Irrelevant has ever made it? I know Undrafted guys have obviously made it. Just curious if the last guy has ever turned out.
