We've trade next years picks before.

even though i dont like the pick, that couldnt be more false imo. Davis is one hell of a thumper ill give him that.


although I would have hated getting Bell as well, nothing against him

19 picks to go...

WHO's LEFT:
Billings, Hargrave, Bullard, Washington**, Day...


**Ohio St. ...and, the Steelers have drafted a Buckeye in 5 of the past 6 drafts.

God this is so frustrating. D-linemen coming off the board left and right and Billings is still surviving.


Now watch Billings and Hargrave come off the board by the time we get to #89

Comp picks cannot be traded. That will change...but not til next years draft.

Did we visit/etc with Washington?

OSU pro day... and he was at the Senior Bowl

I'm not sure if the Steelers singled him out, but they've seen him up close.




He had a bad Combine, but played very well at the Senior Bowl.

I would be so sad...Bullard I would be ok with, but still pretty upset at passing Billings...twice

There goes Bullard.

WHO's LEFT:
Billings, Hargrave, Washington**, Day...


**Ohio St.

there goes Bullard. Billings will follow suit any time now. Probably with Hargrave before we get to #89.


Looks like Heyward and Tuitt are going to have to start training like marathon runners with the percentage of snaps they'll have to play...

Shilique Calhoun...

So many teams that could use Billings right now....Bengals, Vikings, Texans, Redskins, etc...

RIP being able to get Billings

I've been away and can't say I know what the fuck is going on. Billings STILL on the board? Buccaneers took a kicker in R2? Guess everyone is smoking crack tonight.

Well that makes sense at least ... R3 is not a bad place to take a risk with a payoff like that, though.

I like him, but he's an OLB.

(It's also a need, but I'd prefer a DT.)

THERE HE GOES. :lol:

Oakland just drafted him.

at least we didnt trade back into the 2nd round with a 3rd and 4th round pick to grab a kicker...so we have that going for us...


yay?
