I would give up entire draft for this guy

Last time I remember a team doing that the draft choice was Ricky Williams.

The kid looks like a good player. His size would indicate he is similar to Aaron Smith at the position when he came out of college. Even so I do not suspect there is a player available that would be worth the entire draft, but he might be worth trading up for and I suspect the Steelers won't have as far to go next year as this year to get into the top five or ten if there is someone they want.

If someone took Joey Bosa and tried to play him like he was Aaron Smith, they should be fired ... then shot.

And that's not a slam on Aaron. In my eyes, they are just two different types of players.

Typically half the guys people all are salivating over right as surefire top ten guys now end up being mid round picks by the actual draft

The kid is a sophomore, close to the size Aaron was in college and a defensive end. Would you suggest he is going to play a spot other than defensive end on the steelers? I would think he might be able to play the position a bit differently but if he were to become the next Aaron Smith he would be a find. I am not sure how much differently he could play but maybe the steelers would need to go to a 4-3 to use him.

nobody

a good team should be able to draft well enough to stock your talent and depth

without going all in on one player in the draft

I am ok with trading up in the draft and sacrificing a few picks, but that's as deep as it goes...............
 
guys, I think Taint was kidding about the "entire draft thing" and just expressing admiration for Bosa.
 
Aaron Smith.

That guy was a stud. He just didn't get enough kudos. There was a dude brought his lunch bucket every sunday.
 
We have heyward who wants to play his whole career in pit and has kept on getting better it's best we sign him ASAP before the jets sign Wilkerson who wants big money but since the jets spent so much and with about 30 mill owed to b marsh for the next 2 years and a boatload to revis they might have trouble fitting Wilkerson. We should lock up heyward in the 6 years 40 million range with a 8 mill sb Wilkerson will likely want a ludacris deal like 6 years 60 million 15 mill sb. 6/40 would be the hometown discount I think it could stretch to 6/46 to lock heyward for life.

I would give my entire draft for a Rookie Big Ben
 
I Wish the steelers would have gave up the 2008 draft for somebody that would still be on the team. Lol

You mean the draft that yielded the RB that carried our offense during the Roethlisberger suspension and nearly topped 100 yards in the first half alone vs. the Jets in the 2010 AFC Championship -- enabling the Steelers to reach the Super Bowl?

Not a pool but how about a 6'9 280 lb guy holding 70 lbs of dumbbells jumping up onto a 40 inch box.

Baylor DL Shawn Oakman. Shame he got kicked out of Penn State.

there may be 3-5 players currently worth giving up a entire draft for Ben, AP, Megatron, Rodgers Watt.

In football -- not all positions are equal, one of the best CBs EVER (Woodson) and best Centers ever (Dawson) with O'Donnell did not help us as much as a top 5 QB did Ben with Hartwig and Taylor.

Giving up a draft for one player is reckless but if you gonna do it, make it a QB

I sort of agree as QB is arguably the hardest to replace, with supply and demand.
