Minkah Fitzpatrick - Worth a high pick?

[F83]

doesn't matter as long as butler is running this retarded 2-4-5 where OLB/MLB can be caught covering a WR its pointless we need a 4-2-5
put Dupree in 2 point stanch disguise watt NG heyward DT Hargrave De tuitt watt and Bush should be your every set LB's subbing in with barron and Vince comes only in blitz and run sets.

 

[Coach]

I’d offer our first round pick and a 5th round pick in exchange for their 2 round pick.

With Davis being below average and Edmunds looking just okay we could use Fitzpatrick.

yeah, still waiting on you to let us know which big time currently available free agent WR we should sign to fix our offense.
until then, stay in your lane.

 

[Superman]

Sean Davis above average? Haha. Okay then why are you talking about a player to replace him?

Kelly is so not my boy. I just thought his ball skills were better Davis.

if you actually watched games (spoiler, we all recall you saying you watch highlights at the bar when you're getting refills) your ****** opinion would be relevant. As it is, your ****** opinion on Davis, and all other players, is largely irrelevant since you do not watch games.

Steelers need a coverage guy, not another box guy. Price would be too steep to add another Edmunds.

They should have signed Adrian Amos as a free agent. He was exactly the type S they needed. A veteran coverage safety that is smart.

If they could get him for a 2nd rounder, i’d Be fine with it, but I don’t know about a 1st for a guy who would have a learning curve. He could be a versatile guy but the reason he wants out of Miami is because they are moving him around and he wants to play 1 position. That’s what the steelers would probably want to do with him too.

Which pick did we give up next year for Bush? Wasn't it our 2nd?

 

[CharlesDavenport]

So this is a talented secondary guy who is leaving the Fins because he is frustrated by their incompetent coaching. Not sure this is the right place for him.

 

[Steeltime]

Bama gets rolled up?

 

[steelhurt]

Bama and the Steelers play a similar style of defense. He's a fit...

What I meant was the confusion that seems to define this defense. That’s not Alabama football and the don’t cover WRs with ******* LBers now do they? And I’ll bet they don’t rush two DL as well.

He'll be auditioning against the Pats this weekend, maybe we get him cheap if Miami gets blowed up

2nd was this year, 3rd next year.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

Bama doesn’t have an answer for spread offenses either so maybe they are similar to the steelers

 

[Steelworth]

Normally I wouldn't say reach for a guy or think that the Steelers would even do that, but after the absolute schooling Tom Brady gave our our guys, yes, please go get him.

 

[johngaenzler]

It doesn’t look like the Steelers are moving quickly if at all on the possibility here which sucks because he could really make a huge and immediate impact on this defense. If anyone saw the Jets game on Sunday, CJ Mosley was all over the field for them in the first half and when he got hurt they fell apart. Minkah has that level of potential for the Steelers.

Pfffffttt..... see Oklahoma playoff last year. This post was true 5 years ago. The only thing Bama hasn't answered for is a team like Clemson who has similar talent. Oh wait... Bama is 2-2 in the last four years vs. Clemson. ROLL TIDE.

The current brain trust that is the Steelers would just play him as a rotational DL in the 2 DL set

Cowboys are looking at him, this team will just continue thinking they will be fine. Pin that on whom you want.

The Steelers FO values that mid-to late round pick too much to part with it. If it takes a #1, there's a damn good chance they try to low ball the Phins while a team like Dallas, KC or NE will give them what they want.

 

[bermudasteel]

Obviously we haven't signed him yet...maddening

When have the Steelers ever won a bidding war for these sought after young free agents?

They go low and cheap and think their own drafted players are golden if we give them a few more years

 

[jitter77]

We got Haden so its possible

 

[SteelerFan448]

Pretty much every analyst I've seen says 31 teams should be in the market for this guy. His coverage stats looked very good and I think this guy should already be in the black and gold. The Dolphins only want a 2nd rounder and may settle for a third. Make it happen.

Thier is one glaring reason we will not give up a 3rd rd pick for this guy

 

[ZonaBurgh]

Don't know much about the guy other than what I read here.

What's left on his contract and where did the 'phins select him? And really, they only want a 3rd?

Send them a 4th and Artie.
