    I want the Steelers to draft either DE or OT at 20. Maybe ILB... if there's a good one there. Steelers are snake-bitten at drafting CB over the years... so it's probably not a good idea in the first round.

    The cost of Trubisky is probably gonna go up. $10 mill a year sounding steep.

    $10 million seems like a lot. Does he really have that much more potential than Rudolph, who would cost a fraction of that?

    Good. I like Mariota better. He’ll be cheaper, too.

    Let them fight it out in camp if they are going to go that route over a draft pick.

    The Giants want him. Can't get into a bidding war.

    If Tuitt comes back then they shouldn't draft DE at #20, they already got Loudermilk and Wormley as backup DEs, maybe if NT Jordan Davis drops to #20 then they could draft DL.

    When pick #20 comes around and Linderbaum, Zion Johnson and Jordan Davis are still there who do you take? Those are my 3 favorites and it would be a tough choice.

    Yes stay away from corner in the first round. I can see Tomlin picking Artie's little brother Bartie Burns from Maryland Eastern Shore. lol

    Simply put, a Beast! Would like to see him in Black & Gold but he will be gone before we pick.

    Even if Tuitt is coming back it will be Alualu's last ride I believe. Tuitt-Davis-Heyward...That would be domination.

    Giants are 20 million over the cap, last I heard. And I thought the Steelers had issues.... Giants are screwed for the foreseeable future.

    Tuitt is likely done. Even if he does come back, will he perform at the level he did in '19 and '20 and will he stay healthy? I don't see it happening. The Tuitt ship has sailed... time to move on.

    While it would be great if he could reach '19 and '20 levels, why does it have to be all or nothing?

    If Tuitt stays healthy and plays at above-average starter level, that still makes a huge improvement to the defense.
    The younger players have more time to develop, not forced to start depth players with lingering injuries, etc.
    (He would be overpaid in that situation, but that is also taking the chance that he does get back to All-Pro levels.)

    Tough choice, it depends on what they do in free agency, I would probably take Johnson.
