## Resource

The Steelers are eyeing long-term contracts for their promising 2023 draft picks—Nick Herbig, Joey Porter Jr., Darnell Washington, and Keeanu Benton—while veteran Patrick Queen remains in the extension conversation despite a disappointing 2023 season. Queen’s low PFF grade, missed tackles, and poor pass defense metrics raise serious questions about his value, especially at age 26, even as he earned Pro Bowl honors and NFL Top 100 recognition. With cap space available, investing heavily in Queen may not align with Pittsburgh’s future priorities. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
