        I also think Haskins slipping rumors would likely just be a big ol' smokescreen as well. I think the Giants are using the relationship between Eli and Cutcliffe at Duke to get other teams thinking they'll add a pass rusher at #6 and then come back for Daniel Jones at #17. I still think the Giants take Haskins at #6. I think they want to convince other QB needy teams that they aren't interested in Haskins at #6 so that one of them doesn't trade up ahead of them (with the Jets at #3, for instance, who seem to really want to trade down to recoup the 2nd round pick they gave up in the deal to get their QB last year.
        Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

        Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

        We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

        We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

          In comparison, Brady is only making 15 mil this coming season.
          I think you're right about this.

          I think it's getting harder to win paying good QBs market value.

          As the price keeps going up faster than the cap, QBs on rookie deals become more valuable.

            I dunno. I kinda think Haskins may be one of those really good college QBs who never are good Pros.

            I also wouldn't be surprised if the Giants are all in on a QB from next year's class

              Five teams have shown the most interest in Dwayne Haskins

              Posted by Mike Florio on April 23, 2019, 11:53 AM EDT

              On Thursday night, Dwayne Haskins will become only the third Ohio State quarterback to be selected in the first round, barring something incredibly unexpected. In a Monday interview with #PFTPM, Haskins outlined the teams that have shown interest in him.

              “A lot of teams,” Haskins said. “The Raiders, the Redskins, Broncos, Dolphins, and the Giants. Those are the teams who have shown the most interest in me.”

              The Giants have talked openly about the “K.C. model,” which would entail Haskins sitting for a year (and maybe two) behind Eli Manning. Which would mean Haskins wouldn’t play right way. Haskins said he has no problem with that.

              “Whatever team I go to I just have to be ready to play whether that’s year one or year two and I don’t have a preference whether that’s to play right away or play year two or year three,” Haskins said. “I just want to be the best quarterback I can be for that franchise. Patrick Mahomes definitely did a great job learning [behind Alex Smith]. I learned from J.T. [Barrett] my first year at Ohio State, so it isn’t foreign nature for me, so I’ll be comfortable with either/or.”

              Haskins had a private workout with Oakland, and he could be the “surprise” they’re considering with the fourth overall pick. Which could give the Jets a market at No. 3, if one of the other four teams (or someone else) wants to leapfrog Oakland to get Haskins.

                Seahawks just traded Frank Clark to the Chiefs for the # 29 pick and a 2020 second round pick. Seahawks got to go cheap labor big time now. They got a good return on Clark. Teams will swap third round picks also.

                  The Raiders?? How does Carr feel about this? I heard they sent al the Oakland scouts home because folks have been leaking info.

                  Should he say who these teams are or did he make a mistake?

                    If we pay Ben that type of money we will be doing the same thing...

                    or maybe we just did it with AB and Bell? LOL.

                      Don't worry; I don't think we'll be breaking the bank on Ben like that.

                        I think that's exactly what we're going to do. If it were a "team friendly" contract, I think it would have been done before the UFA period.

                        I think the options we have now are (1) market value contract or (2) franchise tag(s).

                        I hope I'm wrong.
