beat me by a second...yep they have to trade 32 to the highest bidder.
OT: NFL Draft
- Thread starter Chairman Moe
- Start date
Lots of time to maybe wheel and deal with their next pick. If they love someone there I’m sure they’ll pick him. But they have enough needs moving out of there for additional picks wouldn’t surprise me. Maybe someone will be on the board another team loves/has to have.
Wow, another cornerback besides Gonzalez goes to Washington. I think the further he drops, the more likely it becomes that we trade up.

Bill Belichek must be losing some say in the draft room. They didn't take a random white dude who no one ever heard of from some FCS school in Montana.
At the very least they are going to listen to all offers from the end of the night tonight until the time they have to make the first pick tomorrow. If there isn't someone there that they really love there are going to be people willing to give up a lot to get that pick.
In general, I'm not too sad about not having the mid-round picks anyway. What were we going to get there that we wouldn't get through free agency?
I know; some of the lottery tickets cash. But that's usually just where we take some random backup quarterback or fringe roster guy.

I’ll be interested to see who they go with now if they remain at #32. Deion Banks and Joey Porter Jr. appear to be the favorites. Perhaps Nolan Smith? Apparently he reminds them of Shazier.
Highest Upside at least. The other two are much better players at the moment. But this guy's a dancing bear with mean violent hands.
Nolan Smith would be solid. Especially since it's not looking like they'll have Highsmith after his rookie deal runs out. Can't be paying a king's ransom to your 2 outside LB's.
ESPN really thought there was only a 2% chance he’d slide? Maybe I’m wrong, but I just don’t see it with him.
I agree. The only way they keep that pick is if someone they really love does not get picked tonight. And even then for the right offer they may trade it anyway.
Are the Lions f*cking around? Neither are bad picks, but both seem wayyyy too high.
There's only 15ish legit 1st Rd talents in this draft. Jones was one, and at a position of perceived need. This team fully committed to building out the Offensive Line in the off season.
Smart move.
I think the Gibbs pick was a waste. This one to. Both are good players, but not this high.
They could have traded down and still gotten the same players and additional picks.
Yeah, I like it. Only thing that might have been nicer is if the 4th round pick could be next year. But I'm not gonna complain too much about that.
We might also trade either Moore or Dotson to get a
Tomlin literally has been dreaming about this for weeks. The dude is so excited about trading pick 32.
He follows a pretty solid lineage of DTs in Tampa. Back-to-back first round picks for Pitt… nice!
Having Moore will give the Steelers time to trasnition younger Jones to the League.
I also think it tells you what the league thinks of Levis, that a QB-needy team deciding to opt with a DT instead.
Would love Smith at #32 but I don't think he lasts that long.
I'd be surprised if this was Levis. Don't think they would drain the clock like this if it were.
But I also have no idea why Levis is in the first round discussion to begin with.

Maybe Levis doesn't go in the first round, and someone will think about it overnight and the Steelers will get a good deal for #32?
I thought this guy was supposed to be the best WR off the board? his bro is a Pirate and said the Steelers would be lucky to get him........

Jones is young, raw - a 20yr old dancing bear with a ways to go. I don't expect him to beat out Moore until well into the season, if at all this year.
