Pickens being traded to Dallas?

[Confluence]

I’m aligned with full rebuild..
No problem here.

that is not what they are doing, or Watt, Minkah and especially Heyward would have been moved prior to the draft.

And there would be a new HC/OC/DC

hell of a lot more than a bunch of 3rds to move up. I have no idea how this season will go,but assuming we draft anywhere from 15-21st. I’m not a college football guy. I hear a lot about Manning and hey….maybe he goes #1. But the guy has thrown for 94 passes in his career and would be nuts to declare in my humble opinion. Especially with the financial security now available in the college market. And for us to move up that far would take multiple firsts. So I am also assuming there are multiple QB’s with potential to be drafted in say the top 20. I know you’ve

Windy made a really good point on another board.

That the point of having the 3rds isn't that we're going to trade our 1st and 3x 3rds to move up.

The point of the 3rds is to have good picks left after we trade something like our 1st, 2nd, and next years 1st.

Maybe even use some of those picks to trade back up into the 2nd after we use the best draft capital to move up.

It had to of been a tough decision for the Steeler brain trust.
Both DK and Pickens wear #14, so obviously, one of them had to go.

If this is what they were talking about, I wouldn't be against it either.

But you know that Rooney is going to come out sometime in the off season and talk about how the goal is to win the SB.

If it's a full rebuild, roll with Mason and transition to Howard at the end of the season. Play the young guys. Don't trade a 2nd round pick for a WR and then give him a huge contract.

I said I was wrong, didn't I? Again, why do you have to be such a douche? We don't know if they botched it because we don't have all the information and never will. You are welcome to think so but who knows? If he flames out, they will look like good in the end. I was shocked by it after they kept him during the draft but who know what has happened since. If you have some unknown insight please share.

Must defend crappy coach and owner….hahaha

You bash me for reading comprehension, again this is what you said:

“They never intended to trade Pickens. That was entirely a creation of the media and fans.”

It’s you who claimed to have some ironclad knowledge and bashed anyone who suggested he’s on the way out. Just like you bash anyone who dares to criticize the architect of the disgusting decline of this team and the owner who enables him

It’s hilarious that you can’t admit the way this was handled has unecessarily left a gaping hole in the WR room. All they had to do was get this done pre draft or just draft a WR fairly early as they had to know they wanted him gone in the near future, but hey it will give you an excuse to defend Tomlin with this fall when the offense scores 6 points in a first half and call everyone who criticizes it a hater so you’re probably happy about it

Tomlin sucks and you suck, That is all

I figured they wanted to do a Ricky Williams type trade.

Again unlike you I admitted I was wrong. Try it sometime. We can’t all be perfect like Coolie.
