Pickett traded to Eagles

[K_C_]

Pickett will likely go on to be a good QB with the right team. Watch.

It will be utterly hilarious if this happens!!

[DP39]

Back to the "trade for Fields" idea for a minute....

I was against the idea, BUT, IF(?) they now plan on spending a 4th or 6th draft pick on a QB, then why not go ahead and spend a 6th (if you can get him for that) or maybe a 4th with a 5th in return, to grab him. He'll only actually cost us ~$2.25M after displacement. Hmmm....

Why not trade Watt and every pick in the draft for the number one pick?

Okay, Coach Ditka!

He sucked here. He's not going to work here. So it doesn't matter what he does elsewhere—cuz he wasn't going to do well here.

My opinion!

[Jobu]

Can Wilson hold on until Manning enters the draft?

Can the Steelers go 2-15?

He can't even beat out Ewers

True.

[USS Steelerworks]

Just think - This team could have drafted a future all pro center with the Pickett selection and just rolled with Rudolph and Trubisky at QB in 2022. Now we still need a center and none of the QBs are on the roster two years later. Clearly this was Colbert’s final fuck you decision to the franchise.

I think there is a significantly higher likelihood of Rudolph succeeding than Kenny

Even if he were to overcome his shitty attitude, learn how to read defenses, greatly improve his processing speed and pocket awareness,

Even if he fixes all of that, he still can’t drive the ball downfield

But really, his attitude will be the downfall

Draft picks

1-20
2-51
3-84, 98
4-119
5 - None
6-195
7-None

That's not correct.

We have two picks in the sixth round following the DJ for DJ trade.

So we have:

1.20
2.51
3.84
3.98
4.119
6.178
6.195

[cop1211]

Sign Tyrod Taylor, WR Boyd or Cedric Wilson, or bring back Robinson .keep the picks, draft the QB from FSU in the 4th.
Build your Oline and dline this draft.

Jets got him two days ago.

Damn get Tannehill on a 2 year deal.

[Works At A Bank]

Two 7ths and a swap of 4ths is way better value than Kenny was worth. I’m shocked this organization actually realized the mistakes they made and dumped Lik Ken, Dionte and Canada in a few month span

I think it was easier cause Kahn didn’t draft him. It was Colberts kiss of death out the door

I'm expecting the following:

Ryan Tannehill signed as a vet backup.

Mid to late round draft pick throwing a dart at a QB.

[bradshaw2ben]

Wow. Didn't think we had it in us.

That opens up getting a QB in round 1.

SHUT YOUR MOUTH

Let's set the franchise back ANOTHER FOUR YEARS by making the same mistake WE JUST HAD TO TRADE AWAY for peanuts.

[langer]

Seems Kenny was a cancerous poison on the team.

Douchebag fits in Philly. That city is a fucking shithole.

He’ll be out of the league soon.

[bradshaw2ben]

Wow, I really like the pick swap in this trade. That’s a fantastic deal for the Steelers.

I would rather have had a 4th round pick this year than the pick swap. Too many holes to get rid of players without getting a pick back.

[bradshaw2ben]

BWAHAHAHAHAHA I LOVE OMAR KAHN

Seems like he doesn’t like bad attitudes

You know we want volunteers, not hostages.

[Professor Half Wit]

Wow. Didn't think we had it in us.

Steelers are never going 3-14, tho. Gonna have to mortgage the farm to move up and take a swing sooner or later. This year, no. Next year?

[StillerInCT]

Wow. Didn't think we had it in us.

That opens up getting a QB in round 1.

I'm hoping they bring in Penix. Let him sit a year behind Russ

This is my line of thinking too. Penix is the first to come to mind given where we'd be drafting. Gut feeling we trade up

[bradshaw2ben]

Live look at Kenny leaving the Steelers facility:

[langer]

How about that Steeler stability now?

He sucked here. He's not going to work here. So it doesn't matter what he does elsewhere—cuz he wasn't going to do well here.

My opinion!

....and I respect it.

I believe Pickett played pretty damn well as a rookie once he got his feet underneath him, but was a victim of Tomlin/Canada's ridiculously uber-conservative offense.

Don't make mistakes. Don't throw INT's. Take the checkdown. Be careful with the ball. If we have to punt 25 yards with Harvin, that's better than a mistake.

Pickett had natural gunslinger instincts that Tomlin and Canada completely removed. I definitely did not like what I saw last year from Pickett, but I wish him well and if he can regain his confidence, I still 100% believe he can be a very good NFL QB.

We'll see what happens.

[bradshaw2ben]

Totally nuts…..craziest FA period ever

We need two QBs

One is Tannehill right?

Justin Fields?

Wow! You may be right

Edit - with money needed for Russ and Justin I can’t see it

Russ costs zero dollars other than league minimum

[tbsteel]

Yeah, I wish we had more than 7 picks. Maybe we'll work a trade down at some point to get some extra lottery tickets.

Having 8 or 9 would be preferred.

Khan only has one draft under his belt but did work that trade down in the third in his only draft. And that netted us Nick Herbig.

[Jizz Mop]

Justin Fields?

Wow! You may be right

Edit - with money needed for Russ and Justin I can’t see it

Russ costs zero dollars other than league minimum

Talking moving forward

[bradshaw2ben]

Russ is still a 1 year rental, so there has to be some sort of bigger picture plan.


They still need a center, a right tackle, and they capable starting receiver to play opposite Pickens

+2 back up quarterbacks

You have to assume they’re going for receiver and free agency, because you need that person to start right away

The offensive line positions I suspect they’ll fill through the draft, with center being the most urgent at the moment

It sets up perfectly for draft an elite prospect QB in 2025... but I'm sure they'll repeat exactly the same mistake they just made 3 years ago by panicking and drafting a mediocre QB this year. Kahn, you want to prove to me that you're learning and better than the previous guy... for fucks sake don't make that same mistake again and piss away another 4 years.

To be a gunslinger you first need to have a gun. ken had a blowdart.

And his hands were too small to sling anything. They did come in handy because he could never really slam his fingers into a door, or get stuck in a Chinese finger trap. But being a NFL starting QB? Not so much.

[bradshaw2ben]

Totally nuts…..craziest FA period ever

We need two QBs

One is Tannehill right?

Justin Fields?

This makes perfect sense. We traded one of our 2 4ths for a third round pick, and that is the current asking price for Fields.

Do you think Fields is better than Pickett as an NFL QB, and if so, why?

Fields is just a more expensive ineffective QB. Unless you think he's going to become in the conversation with Patrick Mahomes for top QBs in the league, there is zero point in wasting a draft pick on him when you have so many holes.

[bradshaw2ben]

I would absolutely bring in Fields on a backup deal if they can do so without sending a bunch of picks.

His “worth” is in the tank right now.

If the Bears cut him and you can sign Fields for the league minimum on a one-year deal? Sure thing.

[bradshaw2ben]

Two 7ths and a swap of 4ths is way better value than Kenny was worth. I’m shocked this organization actually realized the mistakes they made and dumped Lik Ken, Dionte and Canada in a few month span

Completely agree. I don’t understand how people don’t see the pick swap as good value for a quarterback we all wanted to get rid of anyway. I love it.

The value is fine, but I would rather we got an actual 4th round pick extra this year because we need picks.

[gojira5150]

Michael Penix Jr. time!!

I'm right they're with ya. Dudes gonna be a Balla

[bradshaw2ben]

I’m thinking we trade that number 98 pic for Justin Fields or sign another free agent quarterback like Ryan Tannehill and spend that pic on a mid round QB like Joe Milton or something

That is so, so dumb.

slot CB
outside CB depth
WR2
WR 3/4
C
OT
IDL depth
EDGE depth

That stuff is way more important than drafting a scrub QB. Sign guys from the street who have just as good a chance to be useful as anybody who's name is being bandied about today.
