NFL NFL Discussion: Draft Day

[Deffid]

They would have gotten way more than a first for Watt.

You guys can say what you want, but if this deal were such a homerun it would have been finalized 4 months ago

I feel like fans and agents overrate the willingness of teams to trade the most valuable assets in the sport (high draft picks along with at least three years of a cost controlled deal) for the right to pay aging players, even if they are great. Trey Hendrickson found out about it not too long ago, apparently several teams were interested in paying Trey, but none of them wanted to give up a 1st, let alone more. TJ might be better, but I highly doubt that any team would have offered a 1st and more. Feels like usually big draft compensation is rarely on the table for guys who want a massive deal, rather than players who are still cost controlled or already on a deal they are fine with, where the original team already paid out some money for it and the receiving team thus has an advantage cap wise.

Steelers had to keep him, though, otherwise their entire approach this off season would have made no sense. They want to compete that one year with Rodgers. Whether that works, we will see.

Goat

Definitely gets fucked by Chase on the regular.

That’s aura right there. White boy with some motion.

If you're saying aura then for sure he's a homosexual just like SGAy.

 

[Da Speeit]

Get back on the weed then lmao

Grats on kicking it, unless you just do edibles lol

I do edibles

Just for the chronic pain of my fat students trying to stackpass me (never works)

 

[Da Speeit]

You weren’t the only one I was referring to. Though you did have the most childish reaction.

You sound really serious in this football thread hosted on a karate forum.

 

[Da Speeit]

Here, I’m quoting you directly now …Feel better?
The point about them not having a QB was about Rogers taking nearly a rookie type salary. Not about his ability. Without another injury, he should clearly be better than what they’ve been working with the last few years.

Yes, I agree with Me

Tee Higgins off in the background watching somewhere:

I'm saying it right now, the Steelers are gonna win a playoff game. It will be against a Texans team with Mixon and Collins on IR, but still.

 

[NickNick]

Its like were pretending the Steelers arent, somehow, a highly competitive and often playoff team even with god awful QB play. Even an average season from Rodgers makes them scary as hell.

Fucking LMAO @ accepting a second round pick for a yearly DPOY caliber player. What a silly suggestion.

You are speaking like someone who scoreboard/record watches and never actually watches Steelers games. This team isn't highly competitive. They get their shit pushed in when it matters. They lost their last five games last year and got dominated in every one of those losses except for Cinci the last week of the season. The defense which was supposed to be the strong part of the team got absolutely walked over.

They allowed the eagles to run a 10 minute drive to finish that game off. And it wasn't because they were tired because the offense couldn't get off the field, Baltimore opened their playoff game with a 13 play, 95 yard TD drive. This team as it is contructed and coached is going no where except for a game or two above .500 and an occasional first round ass beating in the playoffs. I believe they have been outscored 74-0 in the first quarter of their last 6 or so playoff games?

Youre speaking like an entitled fan of a team that is used to winning and have no idea how difficult it is for a team to be consistently good.

Theyve managed to be a good team without a QB worth a fuck. Ill leave it at that, and only delusional Steeler fans will try to debate it.

Some team possibly would have given up 2 firsts plus other picks for Watt. I’d do that in heart beat. Steelers aren’t going nowhere anyways and already spend the most or one of the most on defense in the league.

 

[Streeter]

As a Bears fan I am excited to see the offense now. Still wish they traded up for Jeanty . Didn't agree with Loveland as already had a solid TE if anyone ever threw it to him. But Let's see what Ben Johnson offense does.

Also a Bengals fan

Cincy I dont understsnd how you dont pay one of best pass rushers in league but throw a bag of money at Higgins when you got Chase as your wr 1. You need defense you got a great offense so you make a avege defense worse .

My Superbowl Prediction

San Franciaco vs Buffalo

What team is giving up that draft capital plus a record breaking deal for a 30 year old edge? Commanders are the only ones I can think of being a possibility off the top of my head.

Not sure. But it could possibly happen. To me any player that’s not a top qb is tradable at the right price. Steelers should have at least explored that. Doubt they did.

The Steelers are 1-11 without Watt and are 79-44 with Watt.

Keep your elite talents at premier positions. The chances of drafting a player even close to that caliber are incredibly slim.

An elite edge rusher is great, but 1st round pick be anything. It could even be an elite edge rusher!

Could be, but more than likely wont be. Far more likely to be a bum.

 

[Corona]

Steelers should’ve moved watt to the Canthers for legette and a conditional 5th.

Chiefs would give up Karlaftis and a 1st for Watt with zero hesitation imo

What's their playoff record with Watt and what playoff performances has he delivered?
