Steelers trade for Oakland WR Ryan Switzer

[Born2Steel]

My guess is one of these backup QBs may be used to get that 3rd round pick back.

Ok. What about the 3rd round draft pick price tag? Is Switzer, or any return specialist worthy of that? If that had been our 3rd round pick this past draft how would that go over do you think?

we didn't spend a 3rd round pick to get him we traded a 5th... does that help you like it a little better ?

as I outlined in my prediction for the 53 man roster Jones/Dobbs/Coty Sensabaugh could all have potential value for an ILB/TE/draft pick

I was wondering why he was thinking we gave up a 3rd pick also.

[Born2Steel]

I thought it was a 3rd. My bad. I guess the answer to my question then is NO. Switzer is not worth a 3rd only a 5th. Remember I only asked a question, wrong info or not. I didn't insult anyone or their damn horse.

I gotcha , didn't see the insults though must have missed them ..we all make mistakes hell I forgot Chuks on the 53 ( wife been asking me stuff the whole time I was trying to do it ) but w/e its fixed and so is your perception of the trade I trust ?

I’m looking back through to find the insult.

My perception and my question were actually 2 different things. I was looking more as a Switzer vs Henderson question. What is it that makes Switzer a 5th round draft pick better than Henderson. I'm thinking the only difference between the 2 players is Switzer has actual game experience.
My perception is a specialist is not worth a draft pick. But better a 5th than a 3rd. So YES to your question.

No offense to you here but who is this "we" you speak of? You did not contribute at all to the our discussion.

You're correct. My bad. You still acted as though someone hurt your feelings, when no one did any such thing. And that is what I was commenting on. Maybe I should have said, "all he did was give you an answer". Feel better now Francis?

You know this already. Switzer's 4 years of tape at North Carolina, his history of highschool player of the year at West Virginia get him scouted and noticed. He gets invited to play in Reese Senior Bowl week and his strong performance there and Combine workout got him selected in the 4th round of the 2017 draft.

Quadree Henderson's game tape at Pitt showed him as more of a jet sweep guy with straight line speed and the post season evaluation process didn't warrant him consideration to be drafted. He hasn't shown anything in camp or games as a receiver or returner, so the Steelers looked elsewhere.

While I really think testing stats are maybe one tenth of the equation when evaluating players....the fact that Switzer ran a 4.00 short shuttle and Henderson ran a 4.28, shows that Switzer's change of direction is better and that is why he is likely a more productive slot receiver than the UDFA Henderson.

BTW, the Steelers received Switzer and a 6th round pick and sent the Raiders a 5th round pick. Its on steelers.com for complete details, so they didn't trade him for a 5th round pick alone.

Assuming the Raidahs don’t make the playoffs, that R6 pick will be in the top half. Likewise, assuming that the Steelers are picking 32nd ( ), that would be the last pick in R5. Add in a dozen comp picks at the end of R5... and the Steelers dropped back about 25 spots to get a guy who has a nice (collegiate) resume.

Not a good number to have, Switzer.

except for Santonio Holmes...

[SteelMember]

Quadree Henderson gives up his spot... and his number.

...like I said.

Fun fact: Zach Banner is Lincoln Kennedy's son, Lincolns number was also 72.
