We've got to figure out how to get some talent at the TE spot and I think keeping Bud really hurts that ability. Keeping Bud is more important than upgrading McDonald. I’m not a fan of splitting up the Dupree/Watt duo after the season they/our defense just had. Tag Dupree take a tight end in the 2nd or 3rd makes more sense. Trading Dupree creates a massive hole that we aren’t prepared to fill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually his best quality in my opinion. It won't matter as Bud franchised means no OLBs, but just saying. Not as explosive as those above where the words I used. Meaning he is not as explosive as Okwara, Chaisson or Young. I am not willing to concede that point And if Chaisson fell anywhere near the Steelers they should trade up and run over Tomlin's mother on the way to the podium.

I really like Uche though. Not as much as Young or Chaisson, but more than Okwara. Chaisson won't fall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not convinced he's the best position pick @49 but he's my favorite of the Edge guys that are presumed to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we didnt keep Bud, do you really think this team would go out and grab anything notably better than Vance in free agency? At best, we would probably make a lateral move that would stay healthier, but doubtful we would get a notable upgrade either way. Not a fan of how TEs are used in this offense anyway...but that may also be because of the lack of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what worries me. Vannet - Gentry - CSW is a vomit inducing position group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFF Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 If you apply the franchise tag to someone, don’t you have to have the cap room to do it??? I thought you did but I could be wrong. If that’s the case, I’m expecting to start hearing about roster cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

43M Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Do people believe we are going to draft a center early? Pouncey kinda sucks, but the front office loves him. I just dont see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Steelers are looking ahead ( which they normally do) and they lose Finney ( real possibility) then they need a back-up center and OG. Ruiz, Cushenberry, Muti and Biadasz all could do that. Ruiz and Cush becasue they are kind of raw and Muti and Biadasz becasue they did it in college. Then they have Pouncey's replacement as his contract expires and they can play as backup OG/OC for a year.

Not so sure. I get looking to the future, but they also have to try winning NOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
