Speculation from Twitter

Absolutely take that deal. According to the Consensus big board we could be looking at:

21: Mike Green Edge, Mathew Golden WR, Malaki Starks or Nick Emmanwori S

57: Jack Sawyer Edge, Princely Edge, Carson Swesinger LB, Alfred Collins DT, Elic Ayomanor WR.

74: Isaih Bond WR, Cam Skatteboo RB, Demtrius Knight LB

83: Shemar Turner Edge, Andrew Mukuba S, Jalen Royals WR, Cam Williams OT

111: Chris Paul LB, Tez Johnson WR, DJ Giddens RB, Billy Bowman S

and then we still pick 140, 146, 156,163....

It would fill all needs and then some.

Warren at TE covers 2 of these positions... I'm starting to like the idea of drafting this guy. If we are looking receiver help at #8, make it Warren and not a WR. I still think trading back is our best option, we have to many needs to not try an acquire extra picks. Maybe the Steelers would trade up for S. Sanders if he is still on the board?

 

I tried to speak this into existence.... Maybe it will happen?

Has he had a top 30 visit yet?  Nope.  Have other tes?   Yep.

Sanders isn't worth it. He looked like a polished but limited QB. They should have learned after Pickett but finding out they are desperate enough to do something that dumb wouldn't be surprising given their situation.

Take that trade. Take a trade with a discounted value too. 21 is fine. Getting 2nds in 26 and 27 vs a 1st in 26 is fine. This is a 5 win team that needs a lot of chances are young talent. The people in the 20s won't be thst much different than at 8 in this draft. I would rather have their 2nd than the rest of the picks this year. Getting a 2nd this year would be ideal given the talent in that range.

It's difficult for me to buy an organization as historically well ran as the Steelers doing something this colossally stupid unless somehow David Tepper has shadow purchased the organization. 

"Historically Well Ran" retired about three years ago

I also think the term “local source” is a stretch here lol. It’s X speculation from fans; they aren’t media, press or anything. 

Well to be clear, "source" isn't necessarily the same as "insider" (mentioned in the post).

The idea isn't something I take too seriously but it does make for a bit of discussion.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
