Ahmad Bradshaw

Oh, that's right. It WAS Hack. His "You Play GM" submission was pretty strong.

Interesting tweet. I don't know how I feel about Bradshaw. I always liked him a lot with the Giants (if they didn't bring in Jacobs to finish up his work, his numbers might have been insane) but always felt he was very injury-prone and, again, I think his running style is still a bit similar to what we already have (although, admittedly, of higher quality than the horses currently in the stable). I really think, if we're looking to add a rb, I'd like to see a speed guy (but not a midget like Rainey who went down every single time the wind blew a certain direction).

 

How many draft picks do we have? How many positions do we need to fill? Uh drafting 2RB's is completely out of the question.

 

Haley's the man, write it down. (as a certain young and brash QB with the Steelers once said)

 

LOL i remember peaple saying the same thing when we signed Duce, I forget how did that wrk out again, i f we spent a pic on a 3rd then another on a comp pic i dont think that would hurt us to bad.... I BET $ we pick a back with one of the first 4 pics, so might as well get ready 4 it

Free agent Ahmad Bradshaw will visit the Steelers this week.
Bradshaw, who is recovering from yet another foot operation, shed his walking boot last week, but held off on making visits until he was just a little bit healthier. The physical may be the most important part of Bradshaw's visit, and a deal could come together quickly if the Steelers like what they see. Pittsburgh badly needs a running back who can sustain drives. Bradshaw may go on to visit Green Bay if he escapes the Steel City without a contract. Mar 26 - 9:17 PM

I say wait until after the draft. I not sure he is durable enough.

 

He won't be available after the draft. The Jets and a couple of other teams are also interested.

 

I'd like the signing for the same reason. We wouldn't absolutely need to draft a RB. If one fell to us that we liked then of course we grab him, but it would leave our options open.

 

Bradshaw would be a stop-gap strategy at RB. I don't think we'd need to alter our draft strategy when it comes to drafting a RB. We still need to grab a young guy with long-term potential fairly early (first 3 rounds).

 

Jack, I agree we could still take a back, but not in the top 2 rounds. Signing Bradshaw would allow us to wait until rounds 3-5 to grab one. That would be absolutely ideal, because this draft is VERY deep at the position. We could grab a guy that has talent but not be forced to throw him out there too quickly...

It could also allow us to take a chance on a guy like Lattimore who could take a little bit to get completely healthy.

Told Ahmad Bradshaw getting physical from Steelers docs today. All checks out, they will try to sign him. Hearing not huge market for the RB

 

I was gonna put this myself.

 

All apparently did not check out. Bradshaw left without a contract.
