Id be happy with Arthur Jones if he fell. And maybe Rob Gronkowski if they go TE.

As an Arizona alum I would be doing back flips if we drafted Gronk and I'd be ordering his jersey within seconds of the pick being made. It took 2-3 guys to bring him down anytime he touched the ball, one guy just literally could not bring him down. There were times that he had multiple defenders literally hanging on to him with their feet off the ground and he just took them for a ride 5-10 yards down the field.

Having said all that he'll be going to a team that uses their TE more as a receiver than a blocker, he'll never get drafted by the Panthers unfortunately. He has Gonzalez, Gates, Witten type potential as a TE in the NFL, had he not been hurt this year he'd be looked at as a top 15 pick guaranteed, he's that special.

If this is the case, why did we draft a guy like Gary Barnidge? He's no great blocker.

He's also not the receiver that Gronk is, and Gronk is a good blocker as well, very well rounded. Now even though Fox hasn't used the TE as a receiver much in the past, if we got a guy like Gronk that would change immediately. He would open up the field for Smitty right away as they'd always have to have safety help on him or he'll destroy any LB who tries to cover him one on one.

Trust me, if he's still on the board when the Panthers first pick is coming around, there won't be a person in the world who's hoping we pick him up more than me, I just don't see it happening. Fox has one year left to do something, I don't think he'll take a player who he'd have to create a whole new set of plays for when we could use that high pick on another player who fits his schemes.

I will burn BOA down if we go DT, TE, DE and Golden Tate is still on the board. We need a freaking wide receiver with some talent on this team other than Steve Smith. Moose is a FA...do these people REALLY think we are going into next season with a new QB and only one legitimate receiving threat???

How many DL do we need to draft before this organization picks one they like to stick in the starting rotation? We have taken 5 DL in the last 3 drafts...get their asses on the field and stop wasting picks.

We better bring in AT LEAST one WR if not 2 that can compete for the starting #2 job.

      Ekwonu contract

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      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.

      Steelers pick trades

      By theinstrumental · Posted

      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?
