MOSteelers56 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I wonder if he'll get much work on offense or if this will be a strictly ST guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Either way, I like it depending on what pick(s) we gave up to get him. Hopefully nothing more than a 6th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFF Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Really liked him coming out of UNC...should be upgrade in return game and solid chance he replaces Eli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should definitely be a nice upgrade. It's been years since we had a good PR / KR specialist that didn't involve holding our breath every time AB touched the ball.

CKSteeler Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I didn't expect a trade for a WR. And they don't typically save gameday spots for guys who are just returners. Curious to see how it plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I can live with this trade I personally would have preferred to give up at 6 round pick but the fact that we gave up a fifth and got a fixed and a wide receiver back I can live with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to see how it plays out. if I am being completely honest I think this has a lot to do with the fact that the last few years we have either been missing Antonio Brown or Le'Veon Bell and now we have a guy who is he stays healthy can be a solid returner potentially that would hopefully keep Antonio Brown healthy now to be fair Antonio Brown was not injured during a kick for a punt return. Having said that if enabling you to keep a guy healthy pushes you over the edge for a Super Bowl is absolutely worth it. Obviously I have no idea whether or not it will but if it does it was worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 at first, I thought it said Ryan Shazier traded to the raiders on twitter and was really confused for like a second lol wonder if we can get use out of him in gadget plays here and there.. a WR sweep, screens designed just for him etc...

Magnus-Viktor Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I love this move. He's a pretty solid player and was what, #5 in return average last year? I HATE having Brown back there returning kicks. Best WR in the game, and we're using him on returns? I also hate our depth at WR, so he instantly comes in as the #4 WR in my book. A bonafide slot guy. If you give up a 5 and get him and a 6, that's a slam dunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
