Mike McCarthy's more of a spread look.
He's 11 personnel, three wide receivers on the field.
Let's do those neat guys that can run routes and win everywhere.
And Calvin Austin's great depth.
I just don't think he's a wide receiver two or three, as you mentioned.
And so there's a good enough...
classier in free agency, Bob, to where you can look at a guy like Romeo Dubs, Rashid Shaheed, someone like that.
Shaheed would probably honestly nix the idea of bringing Austin back.
He's kind of just the supersized version of Calvin Austin.
But if they don't get a guy like Shaheed there, I think there are more options than you can even imagine out there right now.
It's not an elite class.
There's Alec Pierce.
He's kind of the top
target probably a wide receiver free agency class, but there's enough targets out there where the Steelers can make some signings here, still have a need on draft day and really turn over this room.
But I think Calvin Austin right now, by my math, is probably part of the solution not leaving here and can easily be the wide receiver for him and really fill that return man spot, which would be a need otherwise too.
Right.
I mean, well, listen, I think they like Will Howard, but he is a six-run pick.
And I think that just comes into focus.
It's not like he's the 12th overall pick like J.J.
McCarthy was, for example, where they let Sam Darn walk.
