Devin Steelers !!!!

I think that’s fair. It’s not like the Jones situation, Bush would’ve been long gone by the time the Steelers turn came around.
Basically a 2nd cause we will get a 3rd next year for Bell.
We still need another WR.
The Raiders and Giants could have easily moved back and still drafted their guy. The Steelers made the right move.
exciting pick but he has to produce for steelers to do anything in the near future.
The giants GM is in way over his head and when combined with the head coach who is basically crazy they are going to suck for a few years.
I hated when the Steelers would just stand pat in previous years. I applaud them this year and hopefully they aren’t done. The Pats do a masterful job of moving around in the draft.
If it wasnt for how good Joe Greene was, Dan Marino would have been a Steeler. idk .. LOL
I would be ecstatic if they had traded high enough to get the other Devin, but I am not sold on Bush. I would rather they had stayed where they were and taken a CB.
As for the Giants, many projections had them taking Jones with their #17 pick. I assume they were fixated on Jones and didn’t want to risk another team drafting him rather than Haskins. The Redskins took Haskins at 15 but all signs had them taking Haskins over Jones or Lock. If the Giants get value at #17 they are OK but right now they look like idiots. Also, they probably could have swapped a 2nd or 3rd for Josh Rosen, who I think has a much higher upside than Jones.
Jones doesn’t remind me of a Manning even if he had the same coach. He does remind me of Jarred Goff though and that isn’t bad.

Also having the second pick in the 3rd round in the Mr Bigchest trade lessens the impact of losing our second rounder. Great move for an impact player.
Ben's over-the-top reaction to hearing that the stillers were grabbing bush was short lived once he was told it was regarding a linebacker...
Not a good year for CB. And the 1st rd results suggest that, as the CB’s the Steelers were linked with didn’t go in round 1. One CB was drafted and that was #30.
This was a great day for the Steelers. They got their guy and didn’t have to reach for a need at #20. And some experts had bush ahead of white. I think if he were 2 inches taller he would have been clearly the better prospect.
They'll gain a compensatory 3rd (it might end up being a 4th) from the NFL due to Bell's deal with the Jets. You can't trade those picks, so you trade your original 3rd round pick (in the 80s or so) and then keep the compensatory pick (about pick 96, 97).
I like the trade for Bush. They've been missing an impact ILB since Shazier went down. I don't think Bush is quite as good as Shazier, but I do think he'll be very good. Might as well go all in while you have Ben and Trust the Process in 2022.
I'm shocked they actually pulled the trigger and made a good move up. The old stand pat systems just doesn't cut it anymore.
really?
How about.....the Steelers are wise enough to know WHEN to trade up and WHEN to stand pat.
I mean.....the last two times the Steelers traded up they got Santonio Holmes and Troy.
And both times, they were in the super bowl within 3 years.
I think that's the more accurate assessment. You don't make that move unless you have an obvious, immediate need that the guy can fill.
I love watching the highlight reels they show when these kids get drafted. They’ll show a LB flying in completely untouched and leveling a QB or back. Not that there isn’t intuition or speed needed to do that but mostly it is a back missing a blitz or someone blowing an assignment. How many free shots does that guy get in the NFL? Not saying that is Bush - it isn’t. But I remember Jarvis Jones was a lot of that. I saw a few of those last night too.
As I checked out the draft show and each time a Clemson DL got picked, I was cringing that the highlight reel would be of the guy in question flying effortlessly in to demolish Kenny Pickett or one our backs in the ACC champ game. Mercifully I think those guys were genuinely pretty good so they had footage of them in legit games.
Actually by draft value they got off a little cheap. Should have had to use this year's 2nd 3rd. Typically the following years picks are valued a round lower. Which would mean next year's third would be valued at a 4th this year.
A friend asked me if it was good to have Bush. I said absolutely, can’t go wrong with that decision.
Why do everyone keep saying they game up a 20, 52 and next years draft like we gave them 3 picks. We only gave up the 52 and next years pick, which we don't know how low or high it was be. We swapped the 20th for 10th. They didn't give up a lot to move in the top 10. Seriously, how much do you all think they should have given to move up and finally have the chance to draft a day one starter? I just don't get it.
I didn't want them to trade up because I was worried they'd have to give up a ton. I was pleasantly surprised with the deal. I also don't understand why anyone thinks the Steelers overpaid. Did they think the Broncos were going to take an extra 3rd and 6th to move up into the top 10? Their fans already feel they got robbed on this deal.
