Minkah Fitzpatrick - Worth a high pick?

Vader said:
I saw him play in college and he's a very good player. I don't know enough about him in Miami or what his attitude is right now to say. I thought he'd be worth a #1 pick. After reading about the issues he had in Miami I'm not sure. He only wants to play slot CB. He doesn't want to be moved around. Not sure how that's going to work here.

Maybe it will work perfectly since the steelers are apparently unaware that you are allowed to move your defensive players to different positions to match up with receivers.

Maybe, just maybe...this move isn't about THIS season. Considering he's signed thru 2021 with a 5th year option as already mentioned. Get him in here, learn the system.

No need to get him the playbook so he can go out there and be confused like the rest of the players.

Not a fan of this at all, that's a top 10-15 pick we just traded away

Or maybe a top 5 or even top 3

or dare I say even the #1 overall pick?


Clearly the Steelers just put ALL their eggs in the Mason Rudolph basket
 
I was against this possible trade because i was thinking it would be more than a 1st rounder. If it's just a 1st round pick then I'm good with it because I have zero faith at all that the steelers will land a good DB with a 1st round pick.

I'm not sure he will be great, but i know he will at least be pretty good and for the steelers, that's a huge improvement. He also seems to have some football IQ unlike most of the retards currently on the steeler defense that are content to run around in circles and fall down.

My big concern is that he's going to be demanding a new contract in a year.

That half of football was one of the best they've ever seen I guess.

Miami is clearly going for the #1 overall and there are a lot of teams out there who are not all that good. If Rudolph is average they could end in the lower half of the draft
 
We are not great but we are not Miami. They re closing up shop for the year, we're giving it a shot. Our secondary has sucked for years, hopefully this will be the spark we need on defense.
 
So what Safety gets cut?

Sean Davis, Kam Kelly, Terrell Edmunds?

I guess they will let Kam go unless Sean Davis's injury is really bad and he goes to IR.

damn this site is always full of folks bitching about the Steelers never doing anything big

they trade up for Bush and people *****

they trade for what could be a star DB and people *****

guess you would rather they ******* give in and go for the top pick

**** that ****, do what you can to solidify the team and try to win now.....

yeah, I know, the wrs suck and Rudolph is still an unknown at this point but I still prefer they keep ******* trying to improve instead of cashing it in and just playing out the string
