Have to like his confidence but what he will be facing in the NFL is this... What's better for the team Bijan or Wright @17 then Gibbs @32?... I know which one I would prefer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It likely would be #17 and #49. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it will just depend on how much the Steelers wanted to get up... With what is happening with these QBs right now I could see them being outbid by the likes of Washington or Tampa...the more competition the better.

Obviously I have no way of knowing this, but I truly believe Washington is fine with going with Howell/Brissett in 2023 and I truly believe Tampa is going to try to be terrible for Williams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we could be about to see something special out of the Rams to ensure they get Williams next off season hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading to 17 and hoping Bijan gets there would be a fine risk to take, imo... And you could get like Dawand Jones at 32 Darnell Wright and Gibbs would be fine, but I'll take Bijan and Dawand over that. Semi related, but it's also super interesting seeing not just the discrepancies between the various draft sims, but pffs sim also lists players' ADP (average draft position, as chosen by people using the sims themselves) and the crowd sourced rankings have a number of targets moving up or down. Gibbs-RB, for example, frequently makes it to our current 2nd rounders, as does Darnell Washington-TE, and they're both guys I wouldn't even hate as early as 20th overall. This flip side of that, however is JMS-OC and Tippman-OC both go well before our current second rounders Not really sure how fan sourced ADP ranks compared to eventual actual draft positions, and pff data will naturally be somewhat biased towards pff rankings (since those are visible on the big board wren fans are choosing prospects on their sim), but it was interesting to note how different it was.

WindyCity Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I am lukewarm on trading down. There has been talk that teams have like 17-18 1st round grades in this class. I am not as interested in trading down and not landing one of those guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OL class isn't anything special, let alone taking one of them at #9. Trade down, take your OL there. Use round 2-3 to address DL and iOL. It'll be a boring draft for us I think.

There is no way for Pitt to get to 9 w/o including 32 based on the math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 Wright a betting favourite ahead of both Johnson & Jones for us? Very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came here just to talk about Wright. Louis Riddick came on espn Chicago and said Wright might be the best player in the whole draft and could be an all pro as a rookie. Said if given the option, would he trade down and take him since he’s been projected later and he said no, Wright won’t make it past Jets at 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like him more than Jones or Johnson. They may have a bit better athleticism or length but he also has the aggressive playstyle I love in OL. I fully believe that little bit of extra effort makes a difference by the 4th quarter. When you have a freakish athlete like Fields behind you that extra step could be the difference that breaks a 70 yard TD run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
