Still trying to trade Burns?

Yeah I think that was a reasonable opinion before the season. Obviously now he's proven to be a dominant player in a 4-3 and I don't think anyone has that opinion about him any more.

 

Little still has the potential to be a very solid swing tackle at least, if not a starter once Okung is gone. I'm nowhere near ready to give up on him yet. Miller, who knows. He did show some potential last year but I do think him sitting out this season will hinder his development, but hard to blame Hurney for a guy opting out due to COVID... Grier looked terrible last year and is probably a wasted pick, though it's still possible he can become a decent longer term backup.

IMO,  Little was a swing and miss for a couple of reasons. We needed a C(sorry Paradis)and G and that draft was deep with IOL talent. It was also considered a weaker tackle class, but this years draft was much better. Littles combine was not pretty and a mid 1st round grade shouldn't be a project year 3. Miller again was more about being a 3-4 guy like Burns, not because of Covid. Grier, well, I'll just leave that alone. 

Hurney couldnt have foreseen Cams injury, but Ron was desperate and it was obvious. I think that 2018 draft was a desperation move by GM and coach and somehow Hurney survived. He's got more lives than U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R,B,A,start.

    • Yeah, I am not giving up on him yet but I do think we need to see a pretty big step up this season to be convinced he is a long term solution. It is a shame that his development seemed to be stunted in 2023. 
    • To put the question simply: Would you be happy with a Steelers trade that doesn't bring back their first-round pick next year? A potential trade between us and Pittsburgh is interesting because depending on which draft value chart you use, Pittsburgh has two totally natural trades available to them, but they're very different. The Jimmy Johnson chart says the difference between us at 8 and them at 21 is 600 points, or almost exactly the value of the last pick in the 1st round. That falls in line with how teams tend to discount future picks. 8 for 21 and next year's Pitt 1st is almost exactly equal. More modern charts (Chase Stuart, Fitz) are much flatter, and 8 for 21 and 83, Pittsburgh's next pick this year, are basically equal.  Now, the second one obviously won't actually happen--the Lions had to include pick 73 just to move from 29 to 24 last year, and Pittsburgh would clearly be making a much bigger jump. But given the flatness of this draft and the lack of blue-chip players at the top, would you accept some mix of 21, 83, and next year's non-first-rounders from Pittsburgh, or would you want Dan Morgan barred from every touching the draft again for accepting anything less than next year's first?
    • just ask XL, to date he is has never been wrong about what we are doing w/ our first pick
