Yeah, all unknowns.

That's a bridge to cross next year. Franchise QB's don't often get to leave content.

Peyton Manning is a good example of that.

Dolphins just picked up a top 10/15 pick. Steelers aren't going to win many games this year.

Yep the rebuild starts. Now they will have 3 2020 1st rounders? They got a 2020 and 2021 from the Texans. Gotta make the right picks though.

As has been said, really have to wait this one out to see what they actually give up. I think if Rudolph plays decent ( doesn't have to be great), they could still be an above .500 team this year. They have 6 shitty teams on their schedule ( that's counting the Bengals twice) and the division is still filled with a lot of unknowns. If they can win a couple of the toss-up games and maybe split with the Ravens and Browns, that's 10 wins and at least a WC.
They really need help in the secondary and have been getting lit up back there for some time. Not just these first 2 games and they may very well have missed in the draft anyway. We have a good idea what Fitzpatrick is so it helps the team now and for the future. Would not be surprised if that pick ended up being high teens to low 20's. Of course, could easily end up 10-13. I really can't see it being a top 8. If this ends up being a 20th pick, I think it's a solid move and it keeps other teams from getting him. It also drives the price up on Ramsey for their competition.

not sure i understand this one. i figured a team that is contending this year would have given the most compensation.

The thing with Minkah is he is controllable for 4 years before FT's.

It's a really strange situation. You can argue this was a clearance rate for Fitzpatrick too, imo. The issue is... that 1st might not be what the Steelers think it is. That could easily be a top 10 pick.

So the Steelers give a
2020 1st
2020 5th
2021 6th (kinda like a 2020 7th)

for
Fitz
2020 4th
2020 7th

So at least they get a lil more than just swapping a 1st for the player.

Did Pitt give up a high 1st?

Nope. Currently at .500, and in the playoff hunt with a weak schedule in front of them.

Two teams ahead in WC. Colts, who they now have h2h, and Bill's, who they play later.

This should be a pick in the 20s somewhere, now.

And dumping Monqueef got their 3rd round compensatory pick back.

Have to say, I'm shocked at how bad he looked.....That was a swing and a miss....

I remember people saying Dallas have up a top 10 pick for Cooper.

I completely forgot Pittsburgh traded for him.

The Dolphins have 3 1st round picks this year and 2 2nds... I wonder if we'll see a bunch of guys go back to College that were projected to declare, lol.

The Dolphins can't even tank right. After beating the Jets they are as of now picking 4th.
