Live from Delaware, it’s Saturday Night! I, NAS204PSU, am here to bring you this Saturday Night Open Thread (aka SNOT).

This 6 pack of questions is here to get the conversation going is below, also let us know what you’re eating/drinking!

The Steelers used to be thought of as great at drafting/developing WR. Looking at draft classes (including UDFA) since 2017, do you think we’re still “great” at drafting/developing WR?

JuJu Smith-Schuster
James Washington
Diontae Johnson
Chase Claypool
Rico Bussey
Isaiah McKoy
George Pickens
Calvin Austin III
Jordan Byrd
Roman Wilson

2. Much has been made of TJ Watts “peace out” social media post. If TJ doesn’t play for the Steelers in 2025, what’s your confidence level in Alex Highsmith and the other edge rushers/OLBs?

3. The NFL is going to implement the Sony “Hawkeye” line-to-gain measurement system, replacing the traditional chain-gang. Is this a good move? Why/why not?

4.The UFL spring football league is happening. About 40 former Steelers players in this league, including Anthony MacFarland jr., Taco Chalrton, Eli Rodgers, and Brad Wing. Do you watch the UFL?

5. It’s cherry blossom season. Have you ever made a trip to see these trees in full bloom? Is it worth the crowds?

6. Lots of crazy stories in the US news. Have you ever tried to manipulate a deal to your advantage, only to get locked into a heated negotiation? How did it work for you?

BONUS: Mock Draft announcement:

Next week’s Friday Night thread (April 18) will also host a community first-round mock draft, where each commenter picks a team and we run through the first 32 picks in a mock draft simulator, likely PFN. The current idea is that the draft room will open sometime after the open thread publishes at 6 p.m. ET, and the actual drafting will begin at 7. Save the date and time! And feel free to coordinate and/or leave suggestions in the comments on this article.
