Steelers Draft Day Trade Options: Big Move Chance for Brandon Aiyuk, Rome Odunze | Mock Draft Monday
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 апр 2024
- The Pittsburgh Steelers could make a big draft day trade this year. Chris Carter and Mike DeFabo explore options to trade for a veteran like Brandon Aiyuk, or move up and get a top tier receiver like Rome Odunze. But what would be the better option? And what would be the cost for either move?
Also, Chris and Mike discuss a recent article from Mike about the wide receiver class and how different fits for the Steelers could work in different rounds. Could Malachi Corley, Xavier Leggette or Luke McCaffrey be legitimate options?
Finally, it's Mock Draft Monday, and Chris picks a winner that made a big move.

I don’t understand how with this current wr core guys seem to think getting a wr in the 3rd and getting another in like the 6th is enough if Pickens goes down like u said we would be fcked. And even if it’s a first round wr these are still rookies we can’t be relying on them to just come save the day if we have a chance to go get a proven star wr to go with pickens do it we can’t always go the cheap route and expect big win results
Well put
Who you cutting to give him 30m a year?... And we draft a QB next year hoping for the best? It not one of them need to get paid so find another couple guys to cut as well
@@user-te7tx1wf8ivery well put lol

THE STAR GATE SEQUENCE
I absolutely agree.Drafting a Wr dosent guarantee they will play well or even start.
Piersall, McConkey, or Roman Wilson in Rd2. Then double up on WR in Rd6
Love your trio
The Steelers made it clear that they want to win now. If you think getting a WR outside of the first Rd. will equate to the success Brandon Aiyuk brings you are sorely mistaken.
If you use a first-round pick on a WR you then lose your chance to add a day 1 starter to the O line. With 1 legitimate receiver who hasn't shown he can run the whole route tree teams will have zero issues cracking the box to stop the run. Neither QB on the roster has shown at this stage in their careers that they can carry a team without the proper pieces around them.
So if you can get Aiyuk without having to give up a first-rounder you do it in a heartbeat. Draft a center or tackle in the first and go from there.
Stacking* the box
I would rather trade for Davante Adams . Yea he’s older , but he’s better right now .
Okay hear me out on this take.. I really think if we’re going to go out and make a big move for a WR that’s going to be in the top 5 in $ and also going to cost us some draft pick or picks why not go out and try to see what it would take to get DK.. it makes to much sense. First of all the connection between him and Russ would be a very big plus and how well would he fit into Smiths game plan. DK doesn’t just block he blocks like he loves it. If he can just work on keeping his cool it would be a match made in heaven, a absolutely perfect fit
Aiyuke or even Higgs are great WR but is either one a he’s HIM type of wr ? Maybe I’m not sure. What I am 110% sure of is DK is HIM ! You’ll never wonder if you’re getting your moneys worth with DK
I been saying the same thing
Being able to trade up for fuaga and still get Frazier would be best possible scenario for the lers
We need to get a center and tackle. The receivers will be there in the later rounds
Dude ,never gonna happen, draft one!!!
You can definitely get a great receiver in the 3rd
i think itd be a mistake to try and get aiyuk, but i dont know. youre giving up one to two players who are gonna be on cheap rookie deals, paying top 10 money for a guy who hanst proven to be that yet (not that i dont love aiyuk as a player, he just hasnt), and almost 100 percent giving up george pickens for the future. including the fact that this upcoming reciever class is probably the best class of all time, theres like 20 guys who have a shot at becoming real nfl starters. i dont see it, unless you get a ridiculously good deal, which i dont see why you would.
this is the type of move youd make if you think aiyuk is the guy who pushes you into contention, which i really dont see why that would be the case.
Odunze is a talented, high character team first player. Hines 2.0 If Odunze is their guy, go get him. (They traded up for Bush) They will need an exit plan for Pickens shortly anyway. Mitchell is a Diva, Corley has little experience down field as a WR. And Legette will not be on the board in the middle of the 2nd round
why do you think mitchell is a diva? and why an exit plan for pickens?
@@obtusemooose Mitchell transferred from UGA based on competition, disappears during games, and has openly admitted that he slows down on routes in game. He is a "me first" guy of the likes of Pickens. Why the exit plan for Pickens ? The Steelers would be absolutely insane to attempt to sign Pickens after this upcoming season based upon the contract he will likely ask for as his ego and sense of entitlement are considerable to say the least..
@@SDresden no, he transferred from uga because he has a child who lived in texas and he wanted to be with his kid. youre pretending like you know these guys. dont be so judgemental and focus on what you can see (which is the tape). maybe pickens isnt the longterm #1, but his qb play has been shit and his coaching has been historically awful. give it a rest.
@@obtusemooose You appear to be taking anything less than absolute praise of players that you have a particular appreciation for personally. That's unfortunate. However it has no impact whatsoever on my perspective and on field facts. Pickens is not a top ten Wr. And as far as Mitchell, based on what I have seen, I don't think he is much different than Pickens. Though less physical. This is not personal. It's observation.
They are not just gonna run the ball. Teams will just stack the box. I don’t care who you have on the line, that won’t work.
Are you out of your mind moving up for a wide receiver? This draft is loaded with wide receivers! Who’s going to snap the ball you?
Win now mode pay attention think ,WR no lower than pick 2 think DeGabio athletic geesh
trade with Arizona swap 1st and 2nd picks

STAR GATE SEQUENCE
Stop looking for a receiver in the top 2 rounds…Smith’s offense doesn’t focus on receivers…it focuses on a running game…the top two picks need to be a OT and C!!! 😳😳😳
100% correct
I think Davante Adams is the guy to trade for . Mentor George Pickens , and he’s still a great WR . Aiyuk would cost more in the future, Adams will be cheaper , and honestly best better than Aiyuk still .
I'm going to be a little bit happy if he gets to be a Steeler for only picks from next years draft. But only a second round pick and a 6th round pick. And the niners are gonna pay half of his salary this year. And then they get him for no more than 20 million a year. And have the contract done with the ability to get out of it after two years. Hopefully We can sign Pickens up next year before he has a chance to be considered elite. It's not a secret to me that the Steelers don't want good receivers anymore when they become DIVAS. WE CAN REPLACE THEM WITH YOUNGER MUCH CHEAPER ONES MOST OF THE TIME.
I’m gonna keep saying it.. I don’t think GP is mature enough to lead the WR room. Which is why I could see us either trading for a vet to match with him or trading him for draft capital.
What do you think about Davante Adams ?
@@tiemann55 I like it but he’s already 31..
St brown went 112th overall
Why does everyone care about Pickens so bad? Aiyuk is a better wr.
So yall want 1 good wr? Yes the offense will be run first, but having good wrs would help. With one wide out, the opponent could just double Pickens. He's not an elite route runner.
All these IFs 🤦🏾♂️
I agree. Pickens is overrated. He flashes for a few games but his actual production is no where near the level of his ego and sense of self entitlement. Some Steeler fans and most media talking heads act as though he is on the same level as Jordan Jefferson or Jamar Chase, and that is absolutely not a fact.
cuz pickens isnt gonna gost them 25 million dollars a year plus picks
90 catchs 2,000 yards with bad QBS in 2 seasons@SDresden
I agree man Pickens is talented but I wish he worked like ab did he needs to put the work where his mouth is
23 years old same age as the rookies coming in
IF U HAVENT SCENE THE MOVIE
Aiyuk is playing this to the end. He has no intention of leaving the Niners. He is using the Steelers' need at WR to get what he wants from the Niners. By continuing to report about it only works for Aiyuk.
you should eliminate any mock draft trades that give away 2025 picks, thats ridiculous
Gp needs to improve his route running before we crown him king. I don’t want vet receivers I want kids who can be molded into Steelers not old dogs stuck in their ways and hungry for a second or 3rd contract
Agree no need to trade for a WR 1st rd OL 2nd & 3rd WR late 3rd Slot CB 👊
If trice is a 100 healthy he's a solid two on any team
@@EldanielShakurdude he hasn’t even made it out of training camp . He’s still recovering from that ACL . He’s rehabbing . Not training and getting better . There’s a difference. This will be a year where he will probably play some dime , and will just look to get back to playing football. I like trice , but be realistic here .
We need a top wr.. like legget or someone in high top first and another in 3rd n hope roman Wilson there or someone in 2nd and Barton in 2nd or Frazier or van pran last resort for center.. if we don't get a veteran wr... Have to draft one in first..
You guys are kidding yourselves. Tomlin doesn't develop any players. The assistants totally suck. They better get a player that developes himself
I feel like if they pick a WR in round one, they are trading away Pickens and probably getting significant draft capital in the following offseason.
It's a tradeoff either way. At least with Aiyuk you know you're getting a good WR who can play at the NFL level. Yeah, you'll pay more, but he's proven.
With a rookie, you'll pay less money, but there's no guarantee that he'll play as well in the NFL as he did in college. How many times have you heard it's a deep receiver class, but how many of them actually pan out to be a #1 or #2 WR in the NFL, which is what we need.
I'm fine with doing either, but there are always tradeoffs. Just because you draft a receiver high doesn't mean he'll pan out, it's a gamble, but you'll pay less. Aiyuk is proven, but will cost more. Just depends on what's more important to you... spending less money, or a proven player.
The deciding factor for me on Aiyuk would be how much draft capital does it take to get him. Omar Khan is great at restructuring contracts to free up cap space, so I think he can make the financial part work. The question is, what would it take to get Aiyuk from the Niners?
If it's a 2nd round pick like you mentioned, I'd take that deal. If it's a 1st round pick, then maybe not.
If we do get Aiyuk for a 2nd round pick, I think I would try to trade back in the 1st round and gain a pick or two. Unless someone you just have to have falls to you at 20.
everyone is only as good as there last game
@@Andrew-oo1jt There's still a big difference between someone unproven coming out of college, and someone who has proven they can play in the NFL over a few years. Of course, nothing is a guarantee, but I'd be more inclined to think that Aiyuk continues to play well for a number of years, than to assume a good college player is gonna continue that level of play in the NFL.
Thank you well said! At the end of the day these guys are still rookies! And haven’t played a down in the nfl like u said we have heard it’s a “ deep class “ many times and it didn’t turn out to be the case. If u have a chance to go get a proven star in aiyuk at the right price u do it
Have you considered the salary cap implications in 25 if they get Aiyuk? Pittsburgh has a number of big names/ starters becoming FA'S in 25, including at QB, which will cost 25 to 30m per year at least.
Have you also looked into and understand Arthur Smiths offense? It is not a wide open passing system designed to feed and satisfy multiple big name wr's.
There is a lot to consider and weigh in such a decision. Do you want to be a contender for one season or several?
Bears are taking Odunze at 9. We gifted you Justin Fields. Steelers not getting Odunze.
We'll get a wr in 2nd and if he doesn't work out we'll trade him to the Bears for a 2nd.
@@brianposner3204 I really hope Poles avoids any future trades with Steelers......Steelers 2 Bears 0 in those.
This is just MY opinion but I think Rome odunzie overrated
