HOW DO YOU GRADE PICKENS TRADE TO DALLAS

When we picked him 6th another guy popped in my head. After he was our pick I watched highlights of him. I'm one that thinks, just maybe, he can shock us. He knows how to win Championship games. His numbers were pretty nice.

Good looking youngster, maybe he can steal Livvy from Paul Skenes Show her what a winning Pittsburgh team looks like.

 

A, addition by subtraction.

 

I gave it a C, can't see how this helped the WR room other than removing an infant. When Pickens wanted to play, he was great, when he got an attitude he was a distraction and harmful to the team. Case in point half-assing routes and failing to execute blocking assignments. However, IF he played to his potential alongside Metcalf the passing game could have been dangerous. We'll never know. So my grade is an average, F for the potential on field loss to the team, A for the loss of a pain in the butt.

I’ll be danged I found it quickly

And sure enough it was an idiot who posted it

ouch

 

C
Meets expectations

 

why are the Steelers having trouble finding the right kind of player--for WR

Only when it is justified. Here it is not justified, there we graed straight, C.

 

That you are still refusing to share the name of the poster and provide the link is just more evidence that you made it up. Why would you make something like that up?

 

Why would you believe that he found it if he refuses to share? You have been a stickler about people proving such things in the past.

 

I hated this trade at the start because they received very little, but I understand this move more now, even though the Steelers' plan is very confusing.

There's no guarantee that the Steelers would have had a third-round compensation pick for Pickens in 2027, since if no team wanted to give a second-round draft pick and only the Cowboys wanted to give a third-round draft pick to the Steelers,so it's possible that Pickens wouldn't have had a $30 million contract in the free agent market.

It's better to guarantee a third-round pick in 2026 than not be sure of getting one in 2027.

Pickens is very talented, and the Steelers are worse without him, but he was a big head case even in his rookie season, and the Steelers don't have the team to compete for a championship in 2025, and Pickens wasn't in the plans for the future, so it was the right thing to do, even though the Steelers are worse on paper without him this year.
