I'm thinking the Steelers stay put.

Murphy Greedy Ya Sin AJ Brown Metcalf are all suppose to be off the board within the top 15.

Then yes they do, UNLESS someone falls somehow OR maybe they surprise us AGAIN . . . maybe 66 and a 2nd next year OR both 3rds and a 5th. I suspect that gets you into the dance.

BTW, @ColePens, @BHD, or some other mod . . . can you merge this into the STICKY threads? Thanks.

Murphy is going to go top ten in the second I think...

Their early third and a fourth can put them in the bottom half of the second round. That's about as high as I would expect them to go as they can get back into the fourth again doing the same trick with their two 5s.

I wouldn't expect more either. Then again, I didn't expect the Bush move last night.

Our late 3rd and a 2nd next yr definitly gets us up there

But do they do that?

I mean they already traded up once in the first and that's rare enough. Do they do it again?

 

[USMC607]

As far as WR goes I think they are zeroed in on Miles Boykin in the 3rd so I dont see Brown or Metcalf

If one of them CBs falls then maybe but I see Murphy and Greedy flying off in the top 10-15

I doubt it, but DAMN if you could do it, get the DB or WR, AND still have your own 3rd . . .

Yeah, but they love Rock Ya Mama.

Joke aside, I wonder if he falls past the middle of the 2nd, because if he does, I could see something IF they could do it without the later 3rd.

They now know they have a three year window, so I’m beyond sure that is why they went after Bush.

Just keep trying to move up every round when they can. Be aggressive if a guy you want is slipping or close.

I expect them to jump up one more time. Hoping it’s the second, but I suspect the bigger names we want will be gone by the mid point of the second. I want Murphy, but half the GMs would be drunk if he slipped into the Steelers realistic range... 56-58.

That's why I asked IF next year's 2nd and #66 could be in play to jump into the top dozen picks in the 2nd round.

CB Julian Love at 66 and WR Riley Ridley later predicted in this one.

This one has Murphy and Ya Mama falling to 46 and 47.

Steelers rarely trade high futures from the next season in a draft. Trying to think if they ever have with their second. I know they haven’t with their first.

Better question is their own third in play with the Raiders?

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Bush will be rocking Joey Porter's double nickles.



Not as nice as the outfit he wore at the draft though.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

I am betting that the Steelers get Greedy about moving up a baker's dozen or so into the second round.

 

[USMC607]

I doubt it, but DAMN if you could do it, get the DB or WR, AND still have your own 3rd . . .

I would do it to trade up high 2nd for Murphy and Brown I like both.

Metcalf Ya-Sin and William's I'd make the move only if they fall mid to let 2nd.

 

[ImporterExporter]

I can't see the Steelers taking Greedy.

Dude is awful as a tackler. We miss enough of them as it is.

Steelers LOVE Boykin and McLaurin. Don't be surprised if one of them ends up here.

 

[USMC607]

If any of the players I mentioned fall to the late 2nd they'd be dumb not to spare the 4th maybe 6th to move up into it and take one.

 

[USMC607]

I would love to snag Gardner Johnson from Florida too

 

[Durden Tyler]

so it's about to start now, hate seeing Pats having 5 pick today, how can they end up with 4 comp pick, with 2 being 3rd rounder and still be on top each year

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

I think they will wait for a CB like Love etc to fall to that 3rd rd pick and take Boykin with the 2nd 3rd rounder.

 

[USMC607]

Knew it

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

Definetely would like CB and WR but with Bush on board there are no "true needs" just varying degrees of wants

Beats me man. To me they didnt lose anyone worth granting a 3rd.

But whatever
