name a dozen as talented as bell, come on

There aren't currently a dozen as talented as Bell. But that's my point. The best RB in the game isn't enough to get you a SB, otherwise the Steelers would have one with him. So why waste assets on a RB that doesn't help win the big one? Unless you're already a stacked team.

4th rounder given the situation... RBs have a 5-10 year shelf life usually and Bell has 1) a TON of wear on his body given # of receptions, 2) suspension issues in the past, 3) has vocally said he wants more money, 4) runningbacks grow on trees, 5) 1 year left on his contract and it's a tag so $14.5M which few teams can afford if they already franchised someone, 6) deep RB class, 7) Bell has the luxury of playing for a good offensive line, the best WR in football, and a HOF QB. Not going to be the same on a lot of other teams.

No I won't trade for him because we already have Elliott. Elliott is cheaper, and IMO Elliott and whatever else we'd have to throw in is worth more than Bell and the contract he's asking for.

Depends on what the roster around him looks like, Eagles/Rams/Patriots a first. Anyone else two second round picks.

Great question steeler pride!! Bell is a dynamic player. No doubt. The problem is obviously if you trade for him then you've gotta commit big money to his contract. Depends how much cap space a team has. The more they have the more they might offer. A,so, gotta keep in mind he's one more weed violation from a suspension.

Given all these variables, I think the range is a 3rd or 4th rounder depending on the tram. Maybe somebody with a ton of space and mutiple picks goes for a 2nd rounder. I think if the steelers got that they should pounce on it. Otherwise, let him play it out, let him walk and then get a compensatory pick when he leaves.

Let me flip the question to you. What's the lowest you think the steelers should take for him?

If you're that hard-up for a RB, keep your assets and draft one in the 1st/2nd of this draft. It's loaded. Bell is a freak of a talent, but he'd need to be in the right system. If he was on the Bears, they'd maybe win an extra couple games over last year, if that.
