Let's play a draft game (the Steelers have the #1 pick, GO ...)

[EzraTank]

Okay let's assume the Jags trade us the #1 pick for our #24 (yeah, I know just play along) ...

Knowing what we have now (Ben coming back for one year, Bud, Hilton, Sutton, etc ...) what do you do?

Do you draft Trevor Lawrence to sit behind Ben for a year? If not Lawrence then who and why?

[st33lersguy]

Who wouldn't draft Lawrence with Ben at his age?

[cubanstogie]

No brainer, Lawrence. Ben can mentor like he did Mason, lol.

[teegre]

I draft Lawrence, but sit him for four years before trading him to the Saints.

Then, in 2025, I draft McGyver Leaf (son of Ryan).

This is out of character for you. You're off your game today.

I can't believe you didn't predict that they sit Lawrence for four years, Ben is really the Terminator and the Steelers win four Super Bowls, then they extend Lawrence for 10 years at $5 mil per....and they rip off 10 more Super Bowl victories!

:lol:

I trade back and get the proper compensation that the Jags were to stupid to do LOL

this years 1 & 2 and next years 1 & 2 from some poor sucker team ... and maybe a decent center to boot

Maybe a more interesting game would be to set the table for the 1st 23 picks, and the pick for the Steelers at the #24... no trades.

Can we come up with a concencus 23 to begin though. Is there a mock already out there that looks reasonable... use that.


btw, in this senario, I don't think there's many who'd say anyone other than Lawrence.
Unless they just want to be contrarian and go against "the QB is the corner stone of the franchise... you don't pass those up" mentality. :chuckle:

it would be fun to have a daily mock where we decide on teams 1-23 selections so we can then choose the Steelers pick.

if our mod fansince76 is okay with it I will gladly start one.

we used to do it on this forum , but I think last time around it got nixed by one of the mods ... could be wrong but dont think I am ...

[Born2Steel]

I'm taking Limas Sweed. To HELL with Lawrence what's his name!

yes, you remember correctly.

fansince76 (who is really cool) never had an issue with it and we did it for several years and lots of posters participated and it was really fun.

then stillers4me comes along and wants to flex her muscles and show everyone how much power she had and wouldn't allow us to have it anymore.

I protested hard enough to get myself suspended from this message board for a month. if she were still active here I would have never returned to post here again.

fortunately, she's gone and as far as I'm concerned this board is a lot better now without her.

Easier to ask forgiveness than permission. Start it.

[st33lersguy]

To save time and make things easier I propose a top 11 that seems to make a lot of sense. Even if the order is a little wrong it would at least be interchangeable among the top 10
1. Jags-Trevor Lawrence QB
2. Jets-Zach Wilson QB
3. Dolphins- Jamar Chase- WR
4. Falcons- Justin Fields- QB
5. Bengals- Penei Seweii- OT
6. Eagles- Kyle Pitts TE
7. Lions- Devonta Smith WR
8. Panthers- Trey Lance QB
9. Broncos- Caleb Farley
10. Cowboys- Rashawn Slater OT
11. Giants- Jaylen Waddle

- - - Updated - - -

12-15 can be
12. 49ers-Jaycee Horn CB
13. Chargers- Christian Darrisaw OT V
14. Vikings- Micah Parsons ILB
15. PAtriots- Mac Jones QB

YES!!! :willy: I used to love that.

One year, the poll predicted CJ Mosley and Stephon Tuitt (and it ended up being Ryan Shazier and Tuitt).
