A Bad WR Class Led to a Pair of Steeler Trades

[NorthCoast]

They knew what Pickens was. He was an extreme talent with some risk. Tomlin isn't afraid to take on these kinds of players. Unfortunately, Pickens was...

That's #2 so far this season for the Browns....

Team fit, money paid, forward looking performance...

First there was this claim:

No worries though. Dan Moore was ranked the 3rd worst FA signing, Larry O the 4th worst, Slay only the 7th worse. So the Steelers are ahead of the game!...

[NorthCoast]

Maybe part of Fitz's struggles? Trying to protect Jackson?...

[NorthCoast]

I think Jackson's bigger problem was the 4 TDs allowed. Too often out of position or late. Noticed the same thing with Fitz last season and his late recognition....

[NorthCoast]

I will say one thing for Castro, dude can make a tackle. Tomlin will love seeing that.

[NorthCoast]

Injuries could easily derail this season for the Steelers considering the number of players at key positions and their ages. Say what you want about Fitz...

[NorthCoast]

Even Burnt Alexander had 4 INTs in his last year with the Steelers. And if you remember he was nothing special....

[NorthCoast]

But the coaches have already said that he is a DE not a NT....

[NorthCoast]

btw, less than half the 2021 first round draft class had their 5th yr option exercised. And of the 5 QBs taken, only one had their 5th yr option exercised....

Zeise is pretty much spot on.

1. Replacing Fitz won't be that much of a problem considering we didn't see him much on the playmaking side of things. Even

[NorthCoast]

Benton did such a great job stuffing the run vs BAL, so let's keep him at NT. And the Steelers still haven't drafted a traditional NT.... sigh....

Good post....

[NorthCoast]

btw, isn't it amazing how a $40+M player isn't worth a first round pick. Talk about inflation.....

[NorthCoast]

Was Jonnu Smith the real target in this trade? And Fitz simply a bargaining chip? Interesting....

[NorthCoast]

Gainwell was a decent returner for Philly. No reason he won't be for the Steelers....
