I don't think trade charts will align well with trades that actually happen in this draft.  Teams swapping a few spots or even 10ish spots in R1 are all in the same wheelhouse - they are well aware the players are all roughly holding similar value from #8-50.  

Which is why trades may not be prominent until we're in the mid-teens.  The higher teams won't want what the lower/offering teams are willing to give.  Unless they're cool with less value than normal.

No one is tossing a future first for Sanders.  And rumor from PIT beat reporters they are focusing on the lines Round 1 anyways.

Why in the world would a world-class organization like the Steelers and an all-time great coach like Tomlin invite the Sanders family into their fold? It would be like inviting a tornado into your brand new double-wide.

If it happens, it'll be the end of the Steelers for a decade. Of course, we'd be sitting pretty.

There is at least some speculation that sanders may go to new orleans at 9.  That makes us a logical trade partner for anyone that wants him.

Even if the saints don't really want him, it benefits us if other teams think they might.  If they do and we block them, even better.

If we were offered anything like the op mentions, we should accept.  Then maybe trade up for a 2nd late first rounder.  Id love to get an edge and wr late in the first.  If we could do that and add a 26 1st, that would be amazing.

Feels like the saints have him targeted at 9, which makes pick 8 $

I want walker bad and I know Tomlin is lights out in the reg season but that is a haul that can really accelerate our timeline

Cam Jordan said something on GMFB this morning I didn't know that took qb off the table for NO.  He said that NO has not taken a qb in the 1st round since Archie Manning.

If we're dropping from 8 to 21 so they can take a QB, then I want 2 future 1sts.  That is a massive drop to take in the 1st round and while all those mid round picks would be nice to have, all taking all of them is doing is turning it into another CMC trade where we took overall trade value over high end impact.

I want 21, their next two 1sts, and then probably still another 3rd and 4th this year.

Draft gab from a couple local sources ponders whether the Steelers might try to trade up for Sheduer Sanders, and more specifically that they may try to trade with the Panthers. 

Not sure where this idea sprouted from or whether there's anything to it (minus corroborating discussion from Insiders, seems unlikely) but for the sake of discussion, here's what they're talking about...

 

I said this a week ago and someone said it's idiotic basically  bc they want Rodgers. Newsflash,  Rodgers is a 1 year bandaid at most and if he gets hurt, Pittsburgh  has nothing else  but just traded for Metcalf.  I still think Shedaur may go to the Giants tho. Feels its a battle in the front office on him. We will see but I'd gladly take that trade package lol

Cam Jordan was on Good Morning Football.  A player like Cam (lifelong Saint and a great ambassador for any team--I like him a lot) could be used by the Saints to create a smokescreen.  He denied that the Saints would take a QB in the first round, claiming that it has not been done since Manning in 1971 (paraphrasing)... It seems to me, (conspiracy theory forthcoming) that bit of information would have to have been researched/premeditated/planned.  Was he attempting to scoff at the concept that the Saints would draft a QB at #10?  Remember, Carr missed 7 games last year and had a 63.something QB rating.  He was not believed to be returning in 2025.  When the Saints thought that one of the top 2 Qbs were not going to be there at #10, they did not take advantage of the void clause in his contract, the way I understand it.  That means they continued to kick the Carr contract down the road.  In 2026, Carr's cap number is $69m--nearly a quarter of the cap for a 35-year old QB they do not want.  He is to be paid a $40m salary with a $10m roster bonus. While I am not a capologist, it is interesting if they really like Shedeur. All that matters is the perception that the Saints will take him at 10.

If the Giants pass on him, and I think they likely will, Sanders could draw interest from the Raiders (I do not see it) at 6 or the Jets at 7 (more likely, but still unlikely).  The Panthers are the most likely trade partner--unless the Jets want to move back.  So who may realistically trade up for a qb?  The Colts (14), but there is no noise about them taking a QB and I do not think they have shown interest--instead, a competition between Richardson and Jones is the plan.  The Steelers (21) are in play, and the Rams are in play.  There is, however, another option for Carolina as a trade partner--The Saints.  A draft day switch for a third rounder might keep the Panthers targeting their player at 8 and add a pick in the process, suggesting they do not want to move back--but I get the impression that the Panthers are looking to move back.

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      If you look at our depth chart, this has to be at the top of the primary needs list. Outside of a true rangy FS that balances Moehrig, I don't see any other "immediate" needs for 2026.  Beyond this year, figuring out C, OT, TE1 and WR3 and probably CB2 (are we going to pay Jaycee and Mike Jack?) are on my radar.  My list at 19 (in no order) : Freeling Thieneman McNeil-Warren McDonald Miller  Sadiq   I think CB is also low key going to be a selection earlier than anticipated...Chris Johnson on day 2 fits what we're looking for, IMO and he balled out at the combine. The salaries we just took on and BY9 coming up, I struggle to believe Mike Jack is a Panther next year.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      Walker is a 1 year signing. Stone is a 1 year. BC is coming back from an Achilles injury. Typically takes 2 years to get back to full health, but he's also better inside than at tackle. Yosh retired. Moton will have 1 year remaining on his contract and he's already admitted knee issues. That's banking on a whole lot of nothing at the end of this upcoming season.  As far as challenging Bryce, a challenge can come from any round. It's about finding the right QB with the physical and mental talent that fits the system. Wilson, Dak, Purdy, Brady. Just a few examples of non 1st round QBs that were able to challenge the starters.  Another QB doesn't necessarily have to beat out Bryce, but we should be looking for another starting caliber QB. It's not like Bryce has set the bar so high it's unattainable. The bar is low. The goal is playoffs. Do we throw away a season if Bryce gets hurt, because KP is taking us nowhere. Dan has made some great signings this FA period, I give him that. But replacing Dalton with KP is not aggressively improving our QB room. It's at best a lateral move. This is all about getting better. But this is yet another move that makes it even less conspiracy theory, and more reality, that Bryce is being protected from any real adversity in our QB room.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Oh I think it will be. My point was that we need to be trying to get better in the QB room. KP doesn't do that. He's not going to be a long term plan with a 1 year contract. He's just insurance.  This "should" be a make or break year for Bryce. Either He's a guy worthy of an extension or not. Bringing in a rookie number 2 with potential may net us nothing, or it could get us something. The one thing we can be certain of is KP gets us nothing and that's not a good position to be in.  I don't want to go into next year with no number 2, Bryce not having developed I to a real QB1, and sitting at 12 or 15 needing to move up to take a QB in the draft just like we did for Bryce. It's not an outcome I see going well for us.
