My thoughts on our roster....... Quarterbacks

Chiefs moved from 27 to 10 to pick Mahomes and cost them their 27th pick, 3rd rd pick and 2018 first.

Honestly, if thats what it takes for the Steelers to move up, I say go for it. The big question is whether this is the draft to do that.

 

If we go with Fields, we need to change to an offensive scheme that uses a lot of QB RPOs with designed runs/read options, and we will need a backup who can play the same style of football. If we’re going with Fields, we need to play to his strengths, not try to fit a square peg into a round hole.

 

They have to drop a little, the cost is astronomical to move into the top 5.

 

Very doubtful. At this point, based on watching games on live TV, I haven’t seen a single QB in this draft that I would take at pick #21, never mind trading up. Maybe Ward. I haven’t really broken down any games yet, so that’s just an impression from watching the games on Saturdays.

 

Tend to agree. I’m thinking roll the dice on a Dart or Howard after rd 1 and wait until 2026 to move up if neither of those QB’s look like the guy.

 

Yeah. It depends where they land. Dart intrigues me. Not enough for the 1st round, and probably not the 2nd either, but there were far more times that I was watching this year and said “damn that was nice” than “ugh.” Howard is a winner this year, but man does he have an All Pro team around him that makes it tough to assess.

I’ll say this about Sanders - I did see a lot to being intrigued with when I watched Colorado, but IMO there is huge risk of his father being a very public disruption the first time things don’t go perfectly. I wouldn’t want that outside noise. It doesn’t matter. Someone will take that risk in the top 5.

 

Looks like Tone likes Howard. Not a sure about two WR, would get one in the draft and one in FA.
