15) HAVE TO TRADE DOWN

[NJ-STEELER]

if the 3 OTs are gone. the giants might want to trade down.

we have history with them and we could snap up evans if it fell like that

[thor75]

So you don't think they would pull the trigger on one of the safeties, Pryor or Clinton Dix?

[Eddie Spaghetti]

barr or ebron

[birtikidis]

If that happened, I wouldn't mind a trade down

[papillon]

My mock looks good then...Hageman I don't think the Steelers have traded down in recent history (15 years) have they?

Pappy

[focosteeler]

If no one wants to trade I would have no problem taking Pryor at that pick

the last time I remember the Steelers trading down was in 2001 when we ended up selecting Casey Hampton...

Thanks Hawaiian I forgot about that one, but still pretty close to 15 years.

I don't see either Safety going in top 25

[SteelSpain]

barr or ebron

My thought too.

[8467thekraken]

If Evans isn't there, ya gotta think that Ebron may get the nod here.

He's an inch shorter than Evans and 1/10 of a second slower, but he would probably get the job done just as well with Ben throwing him the ball.

If the Steelers are still looking for a rangy WR, they can look in rounds 4-7(if they don't get Evans).

I would probably look for a DB and a DL with picks 2 and 3(not necessarily respectively) if we pick up a pass-catcher for Ben in Rnd. 1.

Of course, a trade down, but staying in the top 20, is still a nice option as well.

I could see Clinton Dix going top 25. Denver needs a safety and if they don't land Byrd, then Pryor may go in that slot (31). they're currently 30 mil under the cap and may have the cash to get Byrd.
