The trade that didn't happen

[Captain Lemming]

upset we didn?t take the offers yet grading the draft an A. That doesn?t make sense.

I understand being curious what the offer is but calling Tomlin a dolt while giving them an A is a contradiction.

Clearly you like that we didn?t trade down since you have the highest grade possible.

and I will be upset if we don’t give Najee a 5th year but I will get over it just like you got over not trading the farm to move up and get Bo Nix or paying Mason $20 Mill per season.

We did not trade UP for a QB like he wanted.

We did not trade down like he wanted EVEN THOUGH HE DOEST KNOW THE OFFER. Might have been a pick swap for peanuts like we did last season.

Then despite not moving up or down like he wanted and doing the ONE THING he did not advocate by staying put he gives the draft an A.

Dude cracks me up.

Actually it makes perfect sense. We went the one route that Joel did not want.

The entire world in including Joel recognizes that the natural result of ignoring his crazy ideas results in an A rated draft.

IMO, list the pick we gave up. You don't know what we said no to.

We didn?t.
That was the point.

I don't understand why all these people who say they don't like him keep writing Tomlin fanfic.

They hate him so much they create reasons that don’t make sense to bash him.

GREAT DRAFT
wait.. ohh, almost forgot Tomlin is an idiot!!!

its like the devil himself creeps up to take their soul if they don’t bash Tomlin once a day.

he went positive and the balance of his universe was off so he had to recalibrate.

At least Joel's not writing about his junk like Maniac always did.

So your sig says 2024 draft is an "A" grade yet Tomlin is a dolt?

So no knock on Kahn?

Most here will tell you I am in the middle when it comes to Mike Tomlin.

I get some folks are draft-niks, comes with the territory.

But with Heyward and Watt aging I wouldn't say the decisions are that of a dolt.

But that's just me...

Class Joel nonsense. He knows better than the Steelers always. Yeah, it?s better to trade back and possibly miss out on a franchise OT. Joel is the dolt.

LOL, we have two QB's that other teams don't want signed for peanuts for 1 year. No, we did not trade down but we have that chance to do so.

Now understand that the draft grade of A is how we did overall, and the Steelers did very well in rounds 2 - 4! A+ for picks 2,3,3, and 4. In round one alone we get a B. Overall its an A . Got it now? It is not that hard to understand,.

I have nothing against Troy F, but I suspect we were offered multiple picks in exchange for him, but Tomlin said there was no way we are moving off Troy F.

That is what I saying. He did not say we were offered " Peanuts ".

I said it MIGHT have been peanuts. My point is we don’t know.

Your entire premise is based on an assumption that we were offered multiple picks.

How do you know whether we were offered multiple picks Joel?

You don’t and thus have no basis for suggesting it was a mistake to not take a trade. IT IS NOT HARD TO UNDERSTAND.

You might have a point. At least those posts were INTENTIONAL nonsense.
