Should we draft a QB or sign one in free agency next year?

2018 QB Draft Rankings: http://walterfootball.com/draft2018QB.php

2018 Free agent QB's: http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/quarterback/

The possible off season battle for the 2nd/3rd string:

Jones vs. Dobbs vs. Rookie QB or Free Agent QB

Also, how does Landry compare to any of the free agent QB's?

 

If Josh Allen is there end of the first round...I take him...other than him...I wait.

HACK

 

I would wait. Especially if Ben decides to come back next year. I would load Landry Jones with weapons all around him. Bell, Brown, Bryant (if he gets his head on straight) JuJu, Rogers, draft a TE, draft another WR.

 

Sign Cousins and use draft picks on the defense

 

If Allen is there and they pass on him I will be upset, because I think that we will win the SB and Ben will retire, so when that happens we need a backup plan, I mean him and Rudolph are copies of Ben with their physical stature.

 

falk
benkurt
thorson

these 3 seem like they will be available when we pick. i'd rate them over allen right now. all are above 60% completions, decent size, good TD to interception ratios.

 

What does our Cap situation look like? I personally believe they will
draft a QB. And use any extra FA money for MLB.

 

Thorson is returning to school.

 

Trade Martavis Bryant and our first round for the 49ers first round. Draft Josh Rosen. Win for the next ten years. (Pipe dream, I know, but wouldn’t the rest of the league scream like a stuck pig if that one could be pulled off?) I do hope Rosen does not go to the Browns, they will ruin him.

Laundry has had sufficient chances to prove he is the guy, and he ain’t.

I played with fanspeak you’re on the clock and was able to get Mason Rudolph in the first round. Watch some video of him, he sometimes actually looks like Ben on the field but is not as near to being NFL ready as Rosen. I think the Steelers should draft him.

 

I was hoping he would come out, He would fit into My draft plan.

 

This talk about us getting cousins is not realistic, we are not set cap wise to pay him a 145M and pay the other 21 players we need to sign in 2018, granted some of them can go but some of them need to stay, like Bell...

I still say Alex Smith is the best option if we look at FAs. One year left on his contract for 14.5mil. Seek a trade or maybe KC releases him outright in favor of Mahomes.

I'm still taking a QB in rnd 1 if the opportunity is there.

 

I like your thinking Turtle!

 

I think we should start looking for ILB in FA period.

 

Ben will be back, but I like Riley Ferguson almost as much as anyone at QB in the draft.

 

How did that other Memphis QB of about 3 years ago work for you? John Elway?

 

Work for me?

I was thinking at the end of 3, if he is there or Josh Allen at the end of 1.

 

Draft or free agency...we need the next franchise Steeler QB because Landry Jones is not the guy. I don’t know if I can handle the pre-Ben QB carousel experiment again. If so, it will be a long few years of watching Steeler football without the next franchise QB. You can’t win in this league without a stud QB.

 

To be honest with you, my QB choice(Clayton Thorson) has decided to go back to school, I was also hoping the kid from Miss, St (Fitzgerald) may come out

but he too will be heading back to school. I am still studying. I want a QB that has all the tools, accurate, read and recognize coverages,

can make all the throws. Can win within the pocket. Would prefer QB that has played/grew up in bad/snow/cold weather.
