OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Super Bowl? Thats like a giant pot of chips or popcorn right?

[Coastal Kev]

Strong disagree. Broderick Jones was the tier break at OT and it only cost a 4th to jump the Jets who were strongly rumored to select him.

I'm not saying it was a bad move, not saying that they didn't get value. I simply hate not having many picks this draft. Getting a stud LT should be a huge upgrade for the OL>

 

[Empoleon8771]

I would be very pissed if the Steelers didn’t take the best available CB with 32. Sure, there is the aspect of maximizing value and whatnot, but getting Jones and Porter Jr or Branch with your top-2 picks is amazing.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Sad about Forbes. Was my hope for #32. Funny he didn’t last until the Steelers original selection.

 

[Andy99]

Damn, I liked Uzomah too for the Steelers in round two

 

[Ryder71]

Wow, I can't believe this! We can get a really really good Corner still.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Steelers gotta go Branch or Cam Smith and they will already have had an amazing draft.

Don’t trade out - not worth it with these guys sitting there.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Jones and most likely Porter great 1,2 draft haul.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

There it is.

I would be shocked if Porter wasn't a Steeler tomorrow.

 

[Ryder71]

There it is.

I would be shocked if Porter wasn't a Steeler tomorrow.

I would be thrilled with Porter or branch. That is excellent value.

 

[TNT87]

Great spot for the Steelers to be in. I still can't believe they were able to get a 2nd for Claypool.

Yinzers could never handle pronouncing his name.

 

[WickedWrister]

Brugler has JPJ and Branch as his #16 & #17 overall prospects which would be a fantastic value to get them in the 2nd. About as perfect as this 1st round could have gone for us.

I know a lot of people thought we were gonna take Skyy Moore last year because of the 412/Dino Tomlin connection, then we make the smart move with Pickens. I can only imagine the amount of JPJ hype we'll get over the next 24 hours lol

 

[OnMyOwn]

I was all for moving back but I kinda want JPJ now.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Levis falling is unreal scenario. Branch, JPJ, Mayer provide enough of an attractive alternative to say no to an offer unless it’s absurd. Then you take a peek at the bevy of teams behind the Steelers that could take a QB possibly competing vs each other to move up and Khan could legit command a haul.

Even if he doesn’t, great players there to select.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Then again if someone offered the Steelers their first next year to move down ten spots I would say yes.

And for a quarterback they might.

 

[Coastal Kev]

Jones and most likely Porter great 1,2 draft haul.

Porter or
Smith
Sanders
Washington

They could also get their future C with Tipperman this next round as well.

 

[xlm34]

Give me Branch or Porter Jr at 32 and Keanu Benton at 49 and I will be thrilled with this draft

 

[Ryder71]

Branch is the best safety in the draft, there's a lot to be said for getting the best player at a given position. Particularly a position of Need for us. We need reinforcements for our secondary. But I wouldn't mind Porter at all. That's still extracting excellent value.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Porter or
Smith
Sanders
Washington

They could also get their future C with Tipperman this next round as well.

LOL Bears, LOL Claypool.

 

[Peat]

I'm all for trade down.

Right now on the board where I'd be happy there's

Branch, Smith, Porter
Mayer, Muskgrave, Washington
Schmitz, Tippman

And maybe Sanders and Simpson too.

You can afford to trade down at least five or so. Maybe more depending on other teams' boards. Do it and grab some freebie picks.

 

[JTG]

I would rather have Branch that JPJ. I think he is more versatile.

 

[Andy99]

Give me Branch or Porter Jr at 32 and Keanu Benton at 49 and I will be thrilled with this draft

Don’t think Benton will last that long…

I'm not even considering Mayer at #32. Seems like a very good every down TE but there's simply no need with Muth still on a rookie deal. Steelers haven't historically valued the position that much either. And you know Tomlin LOVES Gentry.

I’m floored Branch is still there. Never thought he’d be an option at 32.

He’s a plug and play pro bowler that would help take their secondary to another level.

Dude can do it all and is a tackling machine.

Don’t overthink your good fortune and grab him.

 

[WickedWrister]

I'd prefer to take a Center with pick #80 but wouldn't hate it if the team loves Schmitz. Cody Mauch a round later though would be nice.
