Speculation from Twitter

[Mr. Scot]

Draft gab from a couple local sources ponders whether the Steelers might try to trade up for Sheduer Sanders, and more specifically that they may try to trade with the Panthers. 

Not sure where this idea sprouted from or whether there's anything to it (minus corroborating discussion from Insiders, seems unlikely) but for the sake of discussion, here's what they're talking about...

All day long. Would give us ammo next year in case we have to replace Bryce.

I don't hate it for the right haul. We need more talented players and this accomplishes that. 1, 3, 5 and 6 and a future 1 and 3 is massive. I don't see how you turn that down. 

It's my opinion that the uber talented players of this draft are mason graham, travis hunter, abdul carter and ashton jeanty. The only one of those that I anticipate being on the board when we pick is jeanty, and I don't see us taking him. In that regard, a trade back hurts very little. There are some good players that will be available at our positions of need in the mid/late first.

Damn those arent sources, those are just rando twitter guys.  I was thinking maybe Kaye or Person would be on there.  That said if the steelers do like Sanders they have to move to us to get him

I can't see the Steelers making a move like that.  They're the type of team that goes into the season with Mason Rudolph and win 7-9 games instead of making any major moves.

My take from the last 2ish seasons the qb position has severely crippled them in the playoffs and Tomlin may have to do something drastic to change that.

If we took that trade and then by some miracle also got Jihaad Campbell at 21, it would be amazing. I think he'll go between 10 and 15 though.

It's difficult for me to buy an organization as historically well ran as the Steelers doing something this colossally stupid unless somehow David Tepper has shadow purchased the organization.

Its possible, but would probably take another team being interested.  They might be able to stand pat and pick him at 21.
