Why would they trade up for him when they likely could trade back and still get him?

Aww shucks, forgot what organization we were talking about…sell the farm
And go get that man

To be fair, Dart has been climbing up the draft boards... there are now some saying he is QB2 in this draft... he actually could go in the first... though i wouldnt take him there

Horn jr is almost a lock for us because of the lineage pedigree, huh

Outside of the top 3 teams, I don't see anyone else taking a QB in round 1. So if Dart goes to one of those teams, that's a meteoric rise up the boards...

 

[Badcat]

I'm taking a different approach here. This isn't who I would like the Steelers to draft, this is me sitting in the draft room watching that arrogant Mike Tomlin make his draft picks.

at this point, you may as well pencil in Jaxson Dart as our Qb at 1.21

 

[TDX27]

I knew someone else would come to my way of viewing this. The only thing you missed is us trading up to get him. Then we can guarantee he will be a flop.

 

[bermudasteel]

One trade down and BOOM!!! We're saved!!! I'm no where near as funny as @Badcat but I did put some thought into this analysis:

43 Derrick Harmon, DL | Oregon A+ - Best player available AND he's my favorite for our 1st round pick anyway...

75 Darien Porter, CB | Iowa State A+ - What are the odds we have to starting DBs named "Porter"??? I like it; hopefully he's less handsy than Joey...

83 Quinn Ewers, QB | Texas A+ - This Cowboy bust my Bama team in the head TWICE - I'll take my chances at him being better than KP8...

112 Dylan Sampson, RB | Tennessee A+ - How do you pass on anyone w/ the name "Sampson"??? Strong pick.

122 Tez Johnson, WR | Oregon A+ - Oh the jokes..."Tease Ur Johnson"...No sure what's gonna happen w/ Roman Wilson but I'm stockpiling on WRs just in case...

139 Ty Robinson, DL | Nebraska B+ - Three (3) "Sons" in a row - follow the logic, man!!! Plus we need youth up front.

163 Seth McLaughlin, IOL | Ohio State A+ - Another "Mc' on the OL just spells 's-u-c-c-e-s-s' --- pull the damn trigger!!!

225 C.J. Dippre, TE | Alabama A - There is no draft w/o a Bama player. Comprende??? And we need Another TE with Pruitt leaving...

231 Que Robinson, EDGE | Alabama A - Just like my WRs - I'll keep the shelves full at LB. Que Robinson (another "son") is a beast. Well, he's better than Jarvis Jones so...

247 Shemar James, LB | Florida A+ - I threw this pick in to appease our alphabet community - not sure about "She"mar but he/she/they played in the SEC so...BOOM!!!

 

[Superman]

1.21 - Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
83 - Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas
122. Oluwafemi Oladejo - Edge, UCLA
163 - DJ Giddens, RB, Kansas St
225 - Mello Dotson, CB, Kansas
231 - Queer Robinson, @bermudasteel
247 - Nick Nash - WR, San Jose State

Green bay took Rodgers when they had Favre and Love when they had Rodgers... its not unheard of for a team with a QB to take a first round QB and double down

I’ve thought for awhile he’s QB1 or QB2, still wouldn’t draft him before 25-30 range tho

I think Sanders will be mid to suck in the NFL…unimpressed with him. Maybe he’s ok in
The perfect system/coaching/environment

Leavitt and Shough are both intriguing a bit
Howard may be decent too in the right spot

I’m all for grabbing a QB every year til
They find our guy, gotta keep Swinging

It's not unheard of for green bay, what other team has done it? And which team before our pick would do it?

 

[insaniti]

Unless they cut Carr, I don't see it. And the Colts just signed Danny dimes to compete with Richardson. Would be a lot of draft capital in the QB room, the type that gets a GM fired...

This! I keep hearing people say we need to wait until 2026 and draft him in Pittsburgh. First off, Manning is most likely not coming out, he’d only be 20 with one full season as the starter. After that the class is a crapshoot. It’s folly to project a college QB class a year ahead of time.

atlanta falcons last year with Kirk Cousins.. And look what they paid that guy..

I dont want any part of that kind of idiocy

That was a shock because Cousins wasn't the established vet with years on the team. They had just signed him, and them taking Penix even shocked Cousins. I'm not saying it's wrong...I'm just saying the likelihood of it happening THIS year, is slim to none.

Taking every chance I can, and STILL able to get help to do it again next year.

Did I miss something here? Isn't he a freshmen, wouldn't he be coming out next year not this?
