Anything noteworthy or just coach speak?

the typical but they did touch on QB whereas in past years they bypassed the topic

I thought there were a couple of interesting things they said that seemed slightly more detailed than what we normally get.

Colbert talking about how the 5th year option doesn't affect possible draft scenarios. I know that will be notable to some people.

It is smokescreen season but Colbert's answer to the 5th year question seemed like an obvious one

Another one that caught me was (if I remember right) them basically saying stuff like health of players and who they have doesn't impact the draft for them. That to me makes no sense. Take our OL for example. We are set at every position and even have solid depth. So what would ever possess them to take an OL in round 1? I assume they are talking more about process and that the look at every position regardless of need, but still seems like a dumb thing to say given the context......again, IIRC.

Steelers' drafting philosophy has almost always been BPA regardless of position. Upgrade at every chance. Serviceable players make great backups, or even better trades sometimes.
