Broderick Jones is being traded to the Cowboys

[SteelerFan448]

How is Broderick Jones and a 4th for a 3rd and 6th in any way impressive? He was our first round pick just three years ago. This front office is garbage.

He's not good. They turned a 4th into a 3rd. I expected a flip of 6th or 7th rounders for him.

Are the Cowboys drunk? Why the **** you would trade for Broderick Jones? DId they see him play in the pre-season? What makes them think he can be a worthwhile tackle in the NFL? He has literally put nothing on tape that shows the kid can start in this league during the pre-season!

They need a speed bump in the parking lot?

 

[Shane Falco]

Watch him turn into another Dotson

4 + X = 3 + 6. Solve for X.

That's not how you weight draft picks but ok

what if they move him to guard?

That math isn’t NFL math. They aren’t the same.

Yeah, agree. Solving for X, X is actually Jones.

Getting a day two pick isn’t nothing.

3rd for a 4th. And a sixth. Basically nothing. But it was that or cut probably.

WAIT a second, Pittsburgh came out ahead pretty good for a go no-where product with a lot of question marks.

Remember that I’m sure Broderick has to pass their physical, I’ll assume that happens.

No landslide record, but still we came out ahead nicely !!!




Salute the nation

You are looking as him being worth the 1st round pick, that never justified to date.

You have to look at his value as of today, the day the trade was made.

His value was definitely not 1st round value, I wasn’t so sure we could get anything but a 5th or 6th at this stage of his ability / injury recovery.

A NICE win for the Steelers.!!!

Jones still needs time to heal and put weight back on. He's not playable now. Steelers don't have a spot for him so it's good to get something for him. Getting a 3rd is big for next year's draft where they may want to move up for a QB.

I didn't have Jones getting traded on my bingo card.

And you wonder why Tomlin kept his job for as long as he did. That's just terrible!

I wondered for many years

 

[Confluence]

Yeah, agree. Solving for X, X is actually Jones.

Another pFlogtard retardation.

 

[topseed]

Surprised the Steelers got anything. It's a modest return, but it's also good to see that shltty play from Tomlin holdovers will not be tolerated. Even if they're former first round picks.

Better than nothing, Bummer though.

They offered a pulled pork sammich but Omar didn't bite.

Swapping a 3rd / 4th and getting an extra pick is pretty good. I don't know why people are bashing the trade. Yes he was a bust, not happy here, and didn't play well. Any return would have been a win. The issue is I'm not sure if any of our tackles are good
