OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: New Quarter Backs for the Handball team!

[JTG]

I'm super happy with however this goes at this point as long as they don't go crazy off the board.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Fields has more upside and is basically the same age as Penix and NIx. Imagine lamenting getting Fields for nothing while applauding teams using a top 12 overall pick for those guys,

Penix is also only a year younger than Fields.

 

[T1K]

If they want Barton, they should try to trade back. They have backup options if he gets picked.

 

[WickedWrister]

There goes Mims

 

[MrBrightside]

If they want Barton, they should try to trade back. They have backup options if he gets picked.

Yes, if they can. Maybe Philly wants a CB.

 

[Empoleon8771]

It's still hilarious to me that the Falcons took a soon to be 24 year old QB with a top-10 pick when they just gave a huge deal to Kirk Cousins. Just an absolutely ass backwards decision that makes no sense.

If you wanted to go with that kind of backup project, why not trade a 5th for Fields? Fields is only 14 months older than Penix.

 

[JTG]

LOLZ he is unreal. He's a black Paul Bunyan.

 

[T1K]

Yeah, if they stay at 20 I think they need to go BPA

 

[Empoleon8771]

Like I said on the last page, I just don't see a way you can justify taking Barton with who's on the board right now.

Trade up to get Frazier in round 2 if you're that concerned about getting a center. But here? Mitchell is far too good of value out of a CB prospect to not take him at 20.

 

[wheelz87]

So Mitchell or Barton? Solid.

 

[MrBrightside]

The amount of guys Georgia has had drafted the past few years is f'ing insane, by the way.

 

[Peat]

Btw, since I can see this happening, I'm just going to remind people that by a bunch of boards, Barton is in the neighbourhood of being BPA at this point.

 

[The Old Master]

Yeah I was warming up to Barton a bit, but with some of the players available…I just don’t think you can justify center in round 1.

he can fill in anywhere, just say'en

 

[Empoleon8771]

Position value makes it crazy to take Barton over Mitchell, though.

Unless he can play RT, that means nothing for the Steelers.

 

[WickedWrister]

Yeah, go get one of these corners.

 

[T1K]

I’m not gonna be upset if they take Barton, but to my untrained eye it seems like other linemen of similar talent could be had in the 2nd.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Rams take Jaden Verse

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Here we go

 

[Goalie_Bob]

Alrighty!

 

[Empoleon8771]

While I obviously have preferences here, this pick is really a no-lose situation for the Steelers IMO. Either they get the best corner in the draft (Mitchell), the best center in the draft (Barton) or another great RT prospect (Fuaga).

 

[Ugene Magic]

Here goes nothing...

 

[Andy99]

You can get the best CB in the draft which is more premium a position than center…

Because they're totally different players and QB isn't one size fits all?

Fields is maybe the worst pocket QB in the league. Penix is possibly the best pocket QB in the draft. Given that Atlanta went hard for Cousins, I think there's an answer right there on what Atlanta value.

No Fuaga was drafted…Fantanu (sp) who’s a guard

Fuaga went to NO at 14
