The Pittsburgher Thread - Mr Big Chest: The Final Chapter Part 2

[The Old Master]

They have 10 picks but the extras are later round picks. At best, they could move up in the 3rd or from their early third into the second.

i'm crushed....I think we at least need to move up to the high 2nd....I could live with not moving up to get white.

 

[KIRK]

There is zero excuse for not getting one of the 2 stud ILB's. We have extra draft capital. We're going to get a good comp pick next year for Bell (maybe a 3rd but probably a 4th). White and Bush won't be there at 20 but I have to believe if we can get into the top 12 we'll have a strong shot at Bush. If he makes it to 10 you had better be on the phone calling teams.

As much as I think Hockenson will be a stud, TE is a luxury pick for our team. We need a stud backer that can take some of the pressure of Vince inside. Williams is a solid LB, in fact I think he's a bit underrated, but he was at his best when you had Shazier flying around, taking up the attention of other teams. Yeah we added Barron but he's not a long term answer, as much as I do like him.

Actually, depending upon when White goes, the Steelers may not have the draft capital. If @MurrKess3081 is right and White is off the board to Tampa and Bush looks likely to go to Cincy if he falls to #11, the cost to trade up to #10, assuming Denver is even willing to consider it based on objective value, is 450 points. That's a 2nd and a compensatory 3rd, and I'd think Denver would want a little premium on that.

So, if White is off the board at or around #5, then is Bush worth a 1st, a 2nd, and a 3rd, because that would be the price tag MINIMUM to jump ahead of Cincy?

 

[KIRK]

And that might be the best option, depending upon how the draft falls.

A 2nd and the later 3rd probably gets you one of the first picks of the 2nd round. Both 3rd round picks get you to the middle of the 2nd round. Long story short, if they can't grab one of their 2 ILB targets at #20, they can go BPA and then trade up to very early on day 2 to grab another one.

I want White so bad but reality is setting in so I agree this is the best route to take.

White will be gone by 10.
Bush will be gone by 20.

You could make that 2nd a 2020 but we know the steelers hate trading away picks so will most likely stay at 20.

Wilson isnt worth grabbing at 20.

I'm praying Hockenson is there...

Soooooo.

If Bush gets past Cincy, I see them trying to trade up to get him.

If NOT, then I see them going BPA in round 1 and looking to trade up to grab Wilson early in the 2nd.

 

[USMC607]

1st - Hockenson
2nd - Pratt
3/1 - McLaurin
3/2 - K. Hodge

Would be nice for me if there was no trade up.

I’ve made peace with the fact White isn’t going to be a Steeler.

Like I said yesterday if Bush is still hanging around in the mid teens, try and move up, which will likely cost the Raiders third.

I doubt they go with Hockenson, will be a pass rusher or corner if Bush is gone.

All they do now is draft D first round. Going off memory I can’t even recall their last first round pick on offense... Decastro?

 

[TimmyD]

Justin Houston to the Colts. That’s a great signing for them

 

[JakeNBake59]

and the Houston dream is dead

 

[TimmyD]

2 years $24 million for Houston in Indy

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Meh, I stopped caring. He would have had to learn the plays and everything...

 

[TimmyD]

Meh, I stopped caring. He would have had to learn the plays and everything...

Yeah it would have been really really complex, especially for a guy who has played in the league as long as Houston. He’s so used to certain things that learning a new set of plays would just be a lot

 

[Coastal Kev]

so for the price of Chick and Dupree we could have had Houston???????????? Balls


Sometimes 2 < 1

 

[DanielPlainview]

Ugh.

 

[USMC607]

Who didn't just know this was gonna happen when we signed Barron.

And the Ben extension came out to be not even completed yet.

 

[USMC607]

Oh well... time to focus on the draft. I think we are done with UFA

Do we need a new thread?

 

[Pens x]

Well this sucks. Keeping Dupree and Chick over signing Houston is just another colossal mistake by this team. What else is new?

 

[Pengwins]

I think Hockenson will definitely be chosen before Steelers turn

 

[Dick Sledge]

At least it seems the CBs are falling.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

At least it seems the CBs are falling.

CBs, LBs, TEs, WRs, someone in a position that we need/covet will be there at 20. Just watch and see, and there is enough depth in each category to get one almost as good in round two or three in the other categories.

I don't disagree. You just know Jones and Lock will go top 20 as well. So we're going to most likely get a top 15 position player.

Hock is my #2 after White which is unlikely.

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

I like Boykin as that 3rd rd pick if they keep it

 

[Dick Sledge]

Blake Cashman is getting a lot of heat moving up boards after running a 4.45.

 

[ColePens]

New thread needed - someone start it up
