I guess Trai Turner is still a decent RG ranked 16 out of 39. Better than John Miller I’m sure. 940317F9-9745-4F40-B7AB-9032AFE535C3.thumb.jpeg.e0b10c3856245d5527bb02e253d34f78.jpeg

To be fair, we got the better end of that deal at first… Okung just prefers to dabble in crypto and stocks/bonds these days over grabbing grown men in their nether regions on Sunday and occasionally Monday and Thursday.

No we didn’t. We traded a guy who was in the prime of his career for a guy at the end just bc the guy at the end was at a more important position…then he ended up mostly sucking.

I mean, did we?? Okung played in what, 7 games last year? Turner is still in the NFL and playing well.

Seems like that entire team had offensive line problems beyond Turner. Suddenly he’s serviceable on the Steelers?

FTFY


Not to mention he’s no longer on the contract that we gave him, he’s on a one year deal with the Steelers after an abysmal year with the Chargers.

If he would have had the same year with us that he had with the Chargers… let me just ask… have you seen the movie Old Yeller?

The contract is a valid argument. But I can’t help but wonder how much worse Turner would really be than the trash they’ve rolled out at RG since they traded him.

Scott had a decent game last week. Unfortunately, the old ball coach trotted out John Miller this week and never gave Deonte Brown a chance.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
