Kiper: Trading for Jameson with Pitt

[kcbubb]

I’m assuming here that London, Wilson, olave and burks are all gone before pick 20. If any of those wrs are still there, don’t make the trade until they are gone and then look to move up?

Steelers at 20 might be the sweet spot to move up for jameson bc it’s possible that we don’t have to give up our 2nd rounders. I love the value of the second round picks, especially on defense, so I’d prefer to not give them up. Steelers also have the opportunity to draft qbotf with our 29th pick and get that 5th year on his contract. Trade 29 and the earlier 3rd, 4th and 4th next year to the Steelers for pick 20.

WAS @ #11
BAL @ #12
HOU @ #13
MIN @ #14
PHI @ #15, #16 or #19
LAC @ #17
NO @ #18
PIT @ #20
NE @ #21

The Saints are having cap issues and need to get younger, PIT & HOU could use the extra picks, maybe WAS.

Saw someone else suggesting that #30+#50 gets us to #11.

If Williams is healthy...he won't be there at 20.

Then you have to pass on jameson. As much as I like him, I don’t want to give up our 2nd rounders. I’d be tempted to. The only situation where I’d give up a 2nd rounder would be if we could get one back. Say, if we traded up from 29 and then traded back from 30. Say Seattle wants to get in front of Detroit and wants to move up from 40 to 30 and we could somehow get back in the 2nd, Then I might be able to justify moving up a little higher for jameson. Watson has made me a little less desperate for jameson. His ceiling is

You get it.

I know I get it - Williams is quite the prospect. I know why you like him and in any normal year, I would too.

But trading up 10+ spots is just too costly for a guy trying to rehab a knee.
