Minkah Fitzpatrick a Steeler, WHY WTF for a FIRST?

[Tres Leches]

steelers secondary was ass but a 1st rounder seems like a lot when big ben just went down anyways

 

[Hammer]

steelers got ripped off. awful trade

 

[Guile]

Tomlin ain't trying to lose.

 

[Bboystyle]

Doesnt Miami already have 2 first round picks?

 

[NatiboyB]

This about the dumbest trade when your starting QB is out got the season you don't trade a 1st.

 

[Real N Quotes]

Bad trade for Pittsburgh imo. Even if Roethlesberger comes back fully healthy you gotta start planning for a future QB. In a year where Big Ben is out for the season why not tank and draft a qb.

Because they probably promised Big Ben they would make one more run with him at QB

 

[Formerly known as...]

I can't make sense of this deal at all. It's a strange move to make right now

 

[PortCityProphet]

I dont see what people arent getting about this trade? Why is it hard to conceive the notion that they saw value in a player and went and got him?
Why should they give up already? The Steelers dont do that bullshyt. Matter fact nobody does that bullshyt cept the Dolphins. Why is it wrong to have confidence in a 2nd year player that you drafted? Because you didn't take him in the top 5 he aint shyt?
Well i can show you more QBs taken in the top 5 that aint shyt than are shyt.

Steelers have a very tough schedule. I can easily see this being a top 5 pick.

Get Tua and Jerry Jeudy.
Tua is left handed...so his blind side is a RT which could Conklin from the Titans while getting a much cheaper LT and draft a center early.

They have the cap space and draft capital to build this o-line quickly.

 

[Mirin4rmfar]

Crazy shyt is if that pick is high enough they can unload it for someone trying to get the 2nd ranked QB for more a haul of draft picks.

 

[SoulController]

dont get it this at all, and im a MIA fan

Minkah has thrived at slot, everywhere else has been a nightmare. they tried him outside, gets burned. he begged to play FS, but they think hes a step slow

if it was a team thats going to win 10+ id still say its a bit of a reach, but a PIT team that still needs talent and could go 4-12/5-11? crazy

 

[Max Power]

Get outta there Tomlin

 

[Sex Luthor]

Still a lot to give up for a slot corner

Thtas what people arent realizing. Hes a slot corner. Not a shut down outside corner yet. Theres a big difference

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

Doesnt Miami already have 2 first round picks?

 

[PortCityProphet]

Get outta there Tomlin

Why would anyone voluntarily leave an organization that doesn't fire coaches?
