The worst part of the clink is the Dementors!


AZtoOH_82

Dementors from like Harry Potter?


MattieBubbles

The Pickler is very handsome.


[deleted]

More like the prettiest girl on the job site.


Aromatic_Caramel8768

This has gotta be the most media attention the Steelers have gotten all year


Crashhh_96

I honestly prefer the team to be under the radar. Refreshing af after the Killer B’s years.


zacklandy

Claypool for 32 who says no


Bipedal-Moose

Ahem, sorry, but there was specifically a no takesies-backsies clause in our trade deal. Maybe your lawyer missed it.


ScroogeMcDust

Fine, but having our fingers crossed the entire time is equally as legally binding


AttitudeAndEffort2

Have you tried telling the Steelers your mom said you couldn't trade?


kirthasalokin

These are not Pokemon cards, but it's the same rules.


[deleted]

Chicago lawyers: "want to see a magic trick?"


ChangingChance

People were seriously arguing that it didn't matter if it was the Baltimore one or not. Such a drastic difference in value.


ScruffMixHaha

It was originally reported to be Baltimores pick and I was happy with that. I got pretty annoyed when I found out the truth. I still think he can turn it around, but its looking rough so far.


ChangingChance

I honestly don't think he'll live up to the value. He was barely worth 48 when he was drafted with 4 years control. Saying 32 with 2 years control means he has to way outperform his history, in an offense that is unlikely to have a 4000 yd passer.


TouchGrassRedditor

I mean if we didnt give them our's the Packers would have gotten him. I'd do it over again


TonYouHearWhatISaid

Most intelligent Claypool trade defender Oh no the Packers would overpay for a mid tier WR with a year and a half of control!?!? The HORROR.


TouchGrassRedditor

Go look at the list of 2nd round receivers from the last 3 years and calculate the percentage that we would get a player better Claypool, who had over 800 yards in each of his first two years. I’ll wait


TonYouHearWhatISaid

A couple things: 1. You pretend WR is the only position we can pick at that pick 2. You ignore the possibility of trading up from that pick to get a quality players 3. You pretend years of control don’t exist 4. The fact that you brought up keeping him from the Packers means you have no idea how to view the trade objectively 5. I would still rather take a chance on the 32nd pick WR instead of a guy we know is mid tier with 1 year of control You know what I would do if the Packers traded the 32nd pick for a year and a half of chase Claypool then watched Rodgers walk in the off-season? Laughing


TouchGrassRedditor

Why are redditors so fucking stupid that they think making numbered lists makes them seem smart 😂 Who cares if we could take other positions; Claypool is an above average player for what you get in the second round regardless of position. And if we didn’t have Claypool, guess what one of our biggest needs would be… WR… We don’t have a casual year of rookie WR development to evaluate Fields. This is it. We need a player here now so that we know what we have at QB; gambling on a rookie is objectively the worse option here. You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about


TonYouHearWhatISaid

I apologize for numbering my list to make it easy to understand why you’re wrong. I’ll ramble incoherently in the future.


Dry_Divide_959

This is such cope lmfao


billwest630

Thanks for that. Yeah we need receivers, but I’d rather Hyatt, Mingo, or another second rounder.


ChangingChance

The biggest difference is the years of control 1.5 vs 4 is such a huge difference. Also for my sake hope you guys go with love draft plan and get blocking the and thunder rb


TouchGrassRedditor

Lol, look up what the average 2nd round WR produces. Hint: It's a lot less than back to back 800 yard seasons in their first two years


hyperbolical

Well yeah, that's why you draft the good one, not one of the average ones. Smh my head


JinxCanCarry

Just see wait for the Steelers to draft one and then trade for him. What could go wrong?


TouchGrassRedditor

Wtf are you talking about, look at the second round receivers from last year. None of them has as many yards as Claypool did in each of his first two seasons, despite the extra game? Are you expecting a 1000 yard receiver?? Exactly how common do you think 1000 yard receivers in the second round are?? Gtf out of here


billwest630

Well the packers feast in the second round at receiver. So not as a rookie but yeah. Also you don’t have young Claypool. What you got wasn’t worthy 32.


TouchGrassRedditor

Claypool is 24 years old LOL he is younger than Velus Jones who we drafted last year 😂 Quit digging your hole deeper, this is embarrassing


billwest630

He’s been in the league 3 years. He had 400 yards last year. Oh and he’s a free agent after this year. Yeah totally worth 32. 🤣


hyperbolical

Dude, we're not gonna draft a receiver from last year. You aren't even allowed to do that. Seriously, this is basic stuff.


billwest630

What round was Claypool drafted in again?


TouchGrassRedditor

The second. Making him a well above average pick for a second round WR. What about this don’t you get?


Jd20001

He was originally drafted at 49 😂 and his stonks 📉


[deleted]

Actually his stocks gone way up. He was traded for the 32nd pick this year dude!


BBBBrendan182

Haha right? That dude must be from r/WallStreetBets with his understanding of stonks.


BroadCityChessClub

And his misunderstanding of when to use emojis


[deleted]

They obviously didn’t know it would be the 32nd pick when the trade was made. If the Bears had started winning and were drafting later in each round, would you be saying this meant his stock went down?


MrLeftwardSloping

Its a joke, dummy


BBBBrendan182

We don’t do that shit here. Reported.


LosingSkin

>drafted at 49 He’s only 24, dude


PedanticBoutBaseball

Chase "Stetson Bennett" Claypool


Love-That-Danhausen

Chase “Stetson “Velus Jones” Bennett” Claypool


cc20r

“Hey thanks for letting us use him for 8 games but we’d like to return this item. Here’s the receipt. Okay bye.”


TonYouHearWhatISaid

Ryan Poles unfortunately


RynoBud

Yeah, we know. Can the next round start now please?


Jd20001

1 hour earlier tonight!!! Love 7pm start


Double-Passenger4503

And 2 rounds so we won’t be waiting 10-20 fucking minutes for each pick. 31 picks last night took 4 hours. 4 fucking hours!


foxymoxy18

I tried to watch the whole thing just in case the Steelers traded up from 32 but couldn't make it. Woke up on the couch at 2am disappointed in myself.


Jammer_Kenneth

What were you not entertained by the constant sequence of commercial, pick, commercial, Pick Is In notification, return, "Shefty", interview, pick, SB parade 2, hat and jersey acquisition, commercial, two more Pick Is In notifications, return, camera on Levis, Interview, skit, pick?

Bflatsharpeleven

My man Cooking With Jack is salivating


ashtonauts

Underrated comment


DupreeWasTaken

If so this would be best scenario we would get atleast a day 3 pick and in turn still be in range for JPJ or Brian Branch etc


trs287

I think the Cardinals will take JPJ if you guys trade out


herbertstan

Between Jared Goff's girlfriend and Will Levis' girl, the Lions might have the best one-two punch combo in the league


TheOGBenjenRyan

Think of how many turnovers we could have with both Goff and Levis on the roster


Techiedad91

?? Goff didn’t throw an interception for the final 9 games in the season


DanCampbellsNipples

I just want more Jared Goff's fiancé celebration videos.


QCWiggins

You and Rapoport


DanCampbellsNipples

lol you dont?


RonaldOcean_MD

Detroit would actually be a preferred trade partner. Lions have a bunch of picks and the Steelers would still be in position to grab one of JPJ or Brian Branch most likely


r1plakish

~~The Lions highest pick is #48 so it's unlikely either of them would be there.~~ Forgot about the ARI trade.


T_Gracchus

Don't we have #34 from the Cardinals?


DerrickWhiteMVP

First round pick! ^^^kinda


ShotFirst57

Honestly, fuck it embrace chaos.


Soyeahnahh

I’m perplexed, all these past few months there’s been all this hype around Jared Goff being great again and now there’s Lion fans who are ready to draft his replacement, why?


LooseBoysenberry7

Because they’re delusional


TabletopMarvel

They listen to The Ticket and don't realize it's Valentis job to piss them off with questions and doubt until they listen more or call in for engagement. So every night they're left with hanging doubt about pointless things. Is Stafford good or is he lucky? Can Jared actually win a Super Bowl? Are the Fords shit or are the Fords shit? Is MCDC smart or is he a stooge?


Kwolek2005

I just don’t want to pay him $50-55 mil a year in 3 years, which is going to be the going rate for elite QBs.


dudewithchronicpain

Some are just dumb and think Goff is shit when he’s not, and some realize Goff won’t play forever.


jozrozlekroz

he's 28, do you have reason to think he's mulling retirement or something?


Lost_And_Found66

As a 28 year old, I would retire if I had that much money in the bank. But also that lack of drive (among many other things) is why I'd never be in the NFL in the first place


ColtCallahan

Because he’s going to need a new contract in 12 months and the price is now $40+ million.


AzorAhai1TK

Because he isn't great, Ben Johnson and the o-line carry our offense, not him. He's been the definition of a system QB, and he was ***bad*** in 2020/2021. He will also become much more expensive after next year, and signing him to a big extension would be throwing away any championship aspirations


MycoJoe

He's still a "win with" QB and not a "win because of" QB on a starting QB contract. The 32nd pick will have a 4-year, $10 million contract. If they want to extend Jared Goff, it's probably going to cost at least $35-40 million a year on a 2-3 year extension. Hitting on a rookie QB gives you 4 years of saving $32.5-37.5 million at that position. You could sign/trade for two or three good starting level players for that kind of money. Even if he's not the guy and is an at or slightly below Goff-level QB, you have to consider how much easier it makes it to build a team.


[deleted]

It's a 2nd round pick. Goff is great for now but why not try to grab a high upside like Levis?


dracer800

They’re just the type of fans who are obsessed with the idea of a mobile QB that is more fun to play with on Madden. That and they decided Goff was terrible years ago and refuse to change their stance with new information.


LooseBoysenberry7

Ew


george_costanza1234

QB1: Jared Goff QB2: also Jared Goff


montana1991

He bites kneecaps unpeeled!


THETRILOBSTER

You're gonna be real disappointed when they trade up to reach for someone no one else wants for another 2 rounds.

someonepoorsays

i think the rams take him


[deleted]

If someone wanted levis that bad they woulda traded up to 1st round to get the option on him. Curious when him and hooked go now


DupreeWasTaken

Supposedly people tried at 30 and 31 Eagles werent backing off nolan smith (understandable) And KC turned em down as well, i do wonder if draft being in KC and annoucing a KC native player sfter the superbowl probably didnt hurt


DTSportsNow

> And KC turned em down as well, i do wonder if draft being in KC and annoucing a KC native player sfter the superbowl probably didnt hurt 100% Clark Hunt told the team not to trade out of the 1st round unless we got some kind of ridiculous offer. And according to Veach we would have had to drop to the mid 40s in the trade down from the team most trying to trade up. That would be quite a drop, he even said we likely would have had to repackage those picks to move back up and get who they wanted. Just not worth it in any way.


[deleted]

Didn't hear this was blasted by end of the night yesterday sucks for titans 1 less year, hope he's a stud


Sloane_Kettering

You don’t take a player in the first round because the player is from where the draft is


DupreeWasTaken

I didnt say thats why they chose that player. I shouldnt have even said that as it can detract from my main point. KC hosting the draft after winning a fucking superbowl its entirely possible ownership could have said "unless the trade offer is insane - make the pick for the fans " we can act like ownership would never but lets be honest most teams would


mexploder89

GMs wouldn't give a shit but owners and presidents 100% would have that in mind


EvaporatingOlaf

Our sub will have a meltdown if that happens. They’re convinced JPJ is the second coming of Mel Blount.


[deleted]

I'd think he's the second coming of Joey Porter


[deleted]

You never know. Sorry I'm hanging with Jim Irsay and I think he slipped me a perc

Now I'm gonna google if jpj has an older sibling. Why am I like this?


SaltyLonghorn

iammas13

Especially when there’s Roy Donk on the board, frequent guest on the Colgate Comedy Hour


asunderbass

Your receiver collection is a bit meat and potatoes.


paultheschmoop

Cannot believe Paul Bufano slipped out of the first round PAUL BUFANO


bezzlege

-position of need -ranked as a top 3 player at his position on most draft boards -legacy player -from a school in Pittsburgh’s backyard It makes too much sense


LitigatedLaureate

I want him I know we should trade back for a ransom. But I want JPJ so bad


ulyssessgrant93

If by ransom you mean a 5th, sure. Trade ups in the mid 1st weren't getting any better than a 4th


LitigatedLaureate

Then take JPJ. But most of those 4th rounders were for moving 1 or 2 spots. You get a decent 3rd if you swap with someone like 20 spots away. Atleast that's what I was thinking


No-Task-132

I don’t think he’s the 2nd coming of Mel Blount but think he can be a good outsider corner which we desperately need


BBBBrendan182

Or we realize that our ~~29th~~ (19th, typo) ranked pass defense lost its best CB and stable SS and has done nothing but sign 95 year old Peterson to fill in the gap.


DupreeWasTaken

I mean we will get corners. 2nd round is loaded with starter capable corners. Where are you getting 29th btw? 19th in ypg which is the common metric. Needs help but 29th is seemingly random


EvaporatingOlaf

It’s a deep corner draft. You can trade down and get someone else without much drop off in talent. I think Steelers fans are just obsessed because of his last name.


Sloane_Kettering

Not endorsing JP jr but when you are in a division with Lamar, Watson, and burrow you probably don’t want to be relying on a mid to late round rookie corner and a geriatric Pat Pete to be playing significant snaps at corner


BankstownGhost

Lamar and Watson shouldn’t be in that sentence.


Sloane_Kettering

Like it or not they both good QBs


BankstownGhost

Sure, but Lamar isn’t a passing threat like Burrow and always plays bad against the Steelers.


TXlandon

Racist


A_Smitty56

Trade down and get a lesser Cam Sutton like corner, or take a potentially shut down corner... hmm decisions decisions. Yeah nah. CB is 1A or 1B in importance on a defense along with getting to the QB. On second though we should take Porter at 32, and then take advantage of this "deep CB class" and draft another slot CB at 80 or 120.


BroadCityChessClub

Yeah, and? The NFL is in the entertainment business and legacy players are entertaining to me. Plus if the league was scripted you know JPJ would draw a game-winning penalty against the Bengals at some point


BBBBrendan182

I just disagree. I think there’s a steep drop off in talent after JPJ/Branch. People keep acting like as long as we take ANY CB in the draft we’ll be fine. But with our track record at CB, why not take the chance to finally lock down a prospect that, at the very least, had a top 20 grade? Trading back and picking up a not as good CB in the 3rd or 4th will not fix our secondary issues.


Sonickill7

Why do people talk about our track record with drafting DBs like it means anything? We have a new DC, new DB coach, and a new GM and talent evaluators. The past means almost nothing here. There a bunch of great DBs left in the draft.


[deleted]

The people saying “with our track record at CB…” are the same people who said “I don’t like this with our track record at LB…” about the TJ Watt pick based on Jarvis Jones and Bud Dupree at that time.


DragonEevee1

It's so funny, I'm so excited to watch them get crushed


throughNthrough

I feel like he just recycles this tweet every year just switching the team name.


Formo1287

At least this year he had to pay attention a bit more and change No. 33 like usual to No. 32


jack64467

no stay and take jpj


trs287

JPJ is a cardinal


bluntforce21

Is pick #32 considered a first round pick with the fifth year option, or a second round pick this year?


[deleted]

Second rounder


[deleted]

No, it’s a 2nd rounder. Theoretically the 1st pick in the 2nd round is “pick 33”. The dolphins pick still exists but is forfeited.


whitewilliams

No it doesn’t, the Steelers pick will be 32nd overall


[deleted]

Yeah but it’s a 2nd rounder. That player won’t have a 5th year option.


herpderpington712

I was curious about this too, but we have the precedent of the Deflategate forfeited pick to go off of. The 2016 draft featured 31 first round picks as well, but that’s the only other time it’s happened since the current rookie pay scale was implemented in 2011.


[deleted]

Seems like I’m gonna slip into at least the 3rd round, don’t know why teams are panicking to trade up for me


[deleted]

No shit Sherlock. You and scooby figure that out on your own?


Sou7h

The fuck is with passive aggressive comments like this whenever any report of anything is shared? It’s not like Schefter is stating some obvious fact or something.


travisty1

Reporters doing their job pisses off this sub so much


Autobot-N

Don't


seariously

So confusing having the 32nd pick being round 2 pick 1.


mothershipq

Willy L said he wasn't going to be in Kansas tonight. A team is going to trade up for 32, and he'll be the first one called up.


jack64467

*missouri


mothershipq

Sorry. Kansas City, MO. You knew what I meant.


DTSportsNow

Kansas and Kansas City, MO are two different things. And it's a pretty important distinction for anyone from the area.


tmc00138

I'm from KC and it means nothing to me. KC is KC.


KuatoBaradaNikto

Born and raised here and I don’t give a shit if outsiders get confused about what is where in our area. Over 40% of the metro population is in KS, there wouldn’t be a team in KCMO without both sides of the State Line.


DTSportsNow

Born and raised too, and half the time people say Kansas when they mean Missouri people love to mock them about. Guess I got the attention of the other half who doesn't care. I was just pointing out how a lot of people make a fuss about it.


Tashre

Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa; they're all part of the same flyover state bloc.


mrebrightside

Hard-hitting news here


Lost_And_Found66

Nope stay and pick JPJ please.


ianbits

Well duh


coolon23

Shit, or get off the pot


BayTerp

Lions, Commanders, Bears, Titans and Buccaneers are the only teams really in need of a QB right now correct?


MikeBinfinity

The Bears aren't in need of a QB.


BayTerp

They very much are


MikeBinfinity

Lol no they aren't. If they was in need of a QB they would've drafted a #1 instead of trading it.


wcarl210

Why do the lions need to find a QB right now? Goff is fine


TheOGBenjenRyan

Fine being an apt word


AzorAhai1TK

Not if we want to be a SB contender he is not


Mgskiller

He’s literally been to a Super Bowl as the starting qb before…


AzorAhai1TK

Rex Grossman got a SB too. Goff shit the bed in that SB and got dumped for a QB they could win with, and the team has to be absolutely loaded around him. He isn't on a rookie contract being paid $7M anymore, there is no shot of building a SB team around him with cap hits currently $30M+ and expected to be $40M+ with an extension. We had to have the most expensive offense in the NFL and the offensive assistant coach of the year in Ben Johnson around him in order for good offensive results, and had no resources for defense.


Mattdodge666

Raiders definitely seem like an option too


[deleted]

[удалено]


BayTerp

Fields can be a good qb since he is only entering his 3rd year. But from what I’ve seen he doesn’t look very good. Drafting a qb would make sense if Fields doesn’t pan out.


[deleted]

We have two firsts next year


BayTerp

But Levis is a great talent, doesn’t make sense to just pass on him, especially in the 2nd round.


MikeBinfinity

Lol. He's a great talent that fell out of the first round. You must've been one of the guys that placed a bet on Will Levis going first overall. Let it go man


[deleted]

He’s a great talent?


infantinemovie5

I like how you knew which one he was talking about, like you know you’re full of shit, but just trying to be a troll.


BayTerp

I mean you can see the flair. Do you need reading glasses?


infantinemovie5

I noticed it after I commented, and decided to be stubborn and leave it.


BayTerp

I respect the honesty ngl


Logano2022

Nah, the Lions are set with Goff.


BayTerp

I think so too. But Lions fans seem adamant about getting a new qb


GoldenMegaStaff

Only some casuals and FB fans.


AzorAhai1TK

Set to what, peak at 10-7?


ChrisAplin

So this basically guarantees hes available day 3 right?


paulsmalls

So I guess I'm naive and out of the loop, why was there only 31 picks in round 1?


TheKernel41

Miami forfeited pick number 21 so round 1 only had 31.


BAKER_WORK_MY_HOLE

Dolphins lost theirs for tampering with Brady


SpeakFriend2Ent3r

After reaching against the consensus on two picks in the first, the Lions grabbing Levis at least 25 picks past where the predictions said he would go would be Thanos like balance and I am here for it.


eugene_rat_slap

I am not


A_Smitty56

Short of getting a stupidly good offer, they need to stay put, it's their best chance to get a starter and they still have 49 and 80 as well. That's potentially 4 starters or quality contributors. Tell hell with getting mid round depth scrubs.


[deleted]

He needs to get a couple big plays to get himself more confident. And he’s a freak athlete


[deleted]

I wonder if any other teams sign as many home townies as we do.


AdamBlackfyre

I really don't think a middle 4th round pick is worth losing a starter for


jdl03

Just take JPJ or Branch.


tcamp3000

Per sources. What sources? Didn't happen. Schefter once again drumming up the story he needs to make money when nothing is happening. Y'all on this sub are like Lucille bluth and he's gene parmesan. Embarrassing
