Damn. Branch almost made it to them.
I would be very happy with that pick, though Branch would be my first option if he somehow lasts that long.

Drew Sanders is probably the best of them.
Branch is the guy I want out of that list, followed by Benton, Sanders, White, and Simpson. I'd be happy with any of them at 49.
I misread it at first, too. The deal they actually got wasn't that great, especially if they believe in Porter. They got a guy projected to go in...
As much as I wanted the Steelers to use that pick on a cornerback, I wouldn't have hated them taking Mayer at 32.
Looks like the Cardinals got picks 41 and 72 (third-rounder) this year and a third-round pick next year. Edit: I didn't realize they were giving...
That, or they just didn't get an offer they liked.
The next team after then likely to trade up for a quarterback is the Seahawks at 47. Levis or Hooker could be a nice project behind Smith. I don't...
The Steelers didn't hand Gonzalez to the Patriots. They had him anyway. The Steelers likely would have had to go without both Gonzalez and Jones...
That is how trading up usually works. The other team gets compensation and usually gets the player they wanted anyway. You are acting as if this...
I agree that the sum of the moves is a positive, though they still need to add help in the secondary. All of that said, the primary variable is...
It was really odd, especially because Mayer seemed like such a natural fit for them.
It isn't the only reason a quarterback can be hurt, but bad lines to make it more likely the quarterback gets hurt. See what happened to Mike...
I get that, but they were going to get Gonzalez without the trade, too. In a vacuum, they get the better of the deal, but without the trade, the...
Ugh. Please don't. Hell, even if they do go tight end, it should be Mayer.
It is possible that the Steelers had to assure the Patriots they were taking Jones to get the deal done.
I'm not sure they want to trade out of the second round entirely. I can't imagine a team giving up its own No. 2 and a first-rounder next year,...
Tape is just part of the equation. Forbes is 166 pounds. He is way too skinny to play the more physical game in the NFL.
