LJpalmbeacher2 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 FA or Trade AND a Day 1 or 2 Draft pick. And hope Cain comes back healthy and picks up to before he got hurt. It's time to change our WR group from a weakness to a strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney usually means what he says and what he said was " 1 can't see Antonio Brown being on the team in 2019. He would cost about 13 -14 million per year. He's going to be 31 next year . It seems like he had some issues with big Ben and it blew up ? I don't think he's a known trouble maker ... I'm not opposed as word is it wouldn't take a first rounder. It will take much more than a 2nd round pick. Probably a 1st and a 2nd or 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittywerb Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 First round pick should be a rusher or corner. Our second pick, the Jets pick, (if it stays a 2nd round pick, we may try to move up) should be a WR. And if it's true the Steelers want a 2nd round pick for AB, give them ours or the Jets pick.

stitches Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Like some people said above... I think we need to address it in multiple ways. Both in the draft and with trade or FA. This team has severe lack of reliable offensive playmakers. The bad thing is that this game showed that we have severe need of adding premier talent on the defensive line too. We got gashed the first time we met a serious above average offensive team. The guys had a great year considering the talent on the roster, but make no mistake - a lot of it was due to the horrible offensive lines and offenses/QBs we faced. Pretty much every decent QB/offense we met made easy work of this defense. The good thing is... we do have the assets and we do have the money to pay for premier talent if it somehow hits FA. Now lets see Ballard do his magic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were probably just the ones dedicated to you. I have time to amuse myself reading most of the interesting posts here. I have so for many years and learned a fair amount. Not everyone can do that, and it shows. Like people thinking Bell or Brown are Colts kind of people. Watch for those posters that suggest it and you can do what i should have done to you. Your Fired! Enjoy your off-season. you are not as smart as you think you are. you are dumb enough to think you can tell people not to post opinions on a forum that actually asks for them. i know you dont want bell and brown, but no one cares.

Qcolts Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 The FA class at WR is weak. Golden Tate is nothing special at this point. Tyrell Williams is long and fast, but he is not a guy who consistently gets open. Guys we need to be scouting for the draft: DK Metcalf (think josh Gordon without of the field issues) N’keal Harry (similar to dez Bryant) Riley Ridley (reminds me of Reggie Wayne) Kelvin Harmon (physical, great body control, shows upside as route runner ) Next tier: Hakeem Butler (huge, has occasional drops and route running issues) Antoine Wesley (huge, better route runner than butler , really skinny) Denzel Mims (size speed freak who needs to work on route running) Damarkus Lodge - good releases and body control 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think we can definitely address some pass rush and safety help in FA, so that will be a big help Golden Tate the best in FA. I know I’m hoping the Pats get him and draft heavily for D.

The Steeers won’t trade him in the AFC and he will go somewhere like SF.. but the Steelers be down right stupid trade him.

He’s still a top 3 receiver in the league. He may be 30 but he hasn’t shown signs of slowing down yet. And not all GMs are looking to add good locker room guys like Ballard. Someone will pay up. If Amari Cooper can go for a 1st there’s no doubt in my mind AB will go for a 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad72 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 It depends on who slides down. If a guy like Devin White (assuming he declares) slides to No.26, you have to consider him. But if WR is BPA, I am fine with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defjamz26 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I don’t get those calling for an edge rusher in the 1st. The one guy I could think could be there would be Montez Sweat and I don’t think he’s going to come in and light the world on fire. A WR doesn’t have to be our first pick, but it could be and I’m sure if his guy is there, Ballard will take him. I know everyone is still feeling the burn from Dorsett, but that was a Grigson pick and a terrible mistake. Can’t just be anti-WR in the 1st round because of that or the recent trend of 1st round WRs not panning out. Just have to find the right guy.

We dont have to get an edge rusher weem can go DT and get pass rush from the interior DL. We have too many positions to upgrade to focus on any one position in the 1st.

Shepman Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Steelers need a QB so bundle a pick and Brissett and get instant explosion. Luck is not getting younger and frankly could decide to hang up football earlier than we would project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas were desperate and needed to take a chance. Gruden is just dumb and wants everything his way (who trades away their #1 WR and DE???. Every situation is different.
