Ask Gerry, pre-draft version

[feltdizz]

It took him until his 3rd year to blossom and he still has bad games and head-scratching throws. Will be interesting to see where he goes from here.

3 years isn’t a long time.

Exactly. Willis is a cornball and has no championship material in him. All he'll do at best is be a Kordon't and Lamar Bumson and waste away the rest of our team. The worse thing that can happen to our team is Colbert making the biggest mistake of his GM career and wasting our first round pick on Willis.

what makes Willis a cornball?

His smile? His face? His hair?

Just weird.

I’m not big on Willis but not sure why he would get that label.

I predicted in another thread, but will do it here so I don't seem crazy later for saying i did.

If Willis is there at 7, they WILL trade up with the Giants.

That's not what *I* want, but this feels as obvious as the selection of Najee was last year. This team doesn't do research for trading up that far unless they have a specific target in mind. Colbert said he has done that research. I'd like to think the target is a stud CB or OL/DL, but with all the QB research they did it just seems like a QB is the pick.

Having said that... the Giants already have 2 firsts and 2 thirds, so I don't think the Steelers are giving up a 2022 second rounder in this deal as would be typical. The giants don't want to fit in SIX day 1-2 guys on this team as it would really be relying on a single draft to be deep with good talent.

Meanwhile, the Steelers have too many holes to fill NOW and don't want to give up 2022 draft picks.

Therefore, this trade will center around 2023 draft capital, which works out perfectly for Colbert on his way out. He can have one last pretty full draft with what he perceives to be a stud at the top.

My guess is the Steelers give 2022 & 2023 first round picks to trade up to 7 - that'll be the meat of (if not all of) the trade.

Again, I hope it's NOT the QB, but if you made me bet, I'd wager on it.

Just read that the Cowboys are "desperate" to trade up into the top 14. Not sure who they are targeting, but depending on that offer, that could ruin the Steelers chances to trade up with the Giants.

Soooo looking forward to watching tonight.

Steel Maniac just makes stuff up.

remember this is the guy who was high on Josh Rosen and Baker Mayfield, he has absolutely no idea what he's talking about.

Is anyone down on Josh Allen thus far in his career?

They will be if his career goes in the same direction Kordell's did.

Pretty sure Allen already has more TD's than Kordell did in his career and very similar totals in rushing and rushing TD's.

So the actual answer is no.. lol.

But I guess its fun to throw out careers that are over and assume the worst for a prospect or current player.
