Comments on: Report: Steelers want to trade up, pair Mike with Maurkice http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/26/report-steelers-want-to-trade-up-pair-mike-with-maurkice/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Sat, 25 May 2013 15:26:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: originalsteelcurtain http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/26/report-steelers-want-to-trade-up-pair-mike-with-maurkice/#comment-1041940 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 16:32:44 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=127408#comment-1041940 While trying to decide who is the bigger moron here between borisbulldog, semperfi24, or pervyharvin, let me make this point:

Mike Pouncey has more value to the Steelers than for any other team.

The reason is because he and Maurkice are twins.

Most twins have a special connection and these 2 obviously do. They practically share a brain and would move lock-in-step to the Pro Bowl every year.

It will be expensive to trade-up to #15, (#31 and #63), but given the wash-out rate of 1st rounders, the move-up will be well worth it, IMO.

Trade back 19 spots and pick up one extra pick? Idiot… Draft picks have a “points” value, to form a possible trade, you would have to offer something that has a higher points total than what your looking for. Now these are imaginary points so dont go google-ing it, and they flucuate year to year based on draft classes. If the Steelers were to trade up 19 spots in the first round they would need to atleast include their 1st, 2nd, and possibly 3rd round pick (if no player trades are permissable) then hope that the picks they offer line up with the team they are trading too’s draft board. That’s a kings ransom for an aging team.

Then they dont have to tell their Pouncey that they didnt want his brother…

What would really be funny is if the Steelers dont make any trade, and Pouncey is on the board when they are on the clock, LMFAO, then they have to pick him, since they are so in love with him. Then the 2 Pounceys can full mouth to mouth man kiss again

I believe a solid offensive line is the most important unit in football. I don’t think, however, that they will trade away any of their later picks to move up, since they only have seven total. Also they need all of those picks because they have needs in the secondary and on the defensive line. I also hope they can find a running back in the later rounds.

It’s cool enough that they both are pros, which is pretty uncommon, but the chance for them to be on the same team just doesn’t happen much.

But I wonder how much they are willing to pay to move up, because he won’t last long.

We need a DE desperately, but our OL was in shambles near the end of last year as well.

I have a better idea. The Vikes just get the 3rd. That way the Steelers get 2 1st round picks. Wow !!! Ahhhh… sweet fanboy dreams.

Pouncey is a good player but they need a corner much worse .

Jerry Reese only drafts WRs DEs and DBs with his first pick.

That is why the Giants’ lines on both sides of the ball are so dang soft.

Additionally, sounds like a smokescreen from the Steelers. Who drafts guards in the first round (yeah, Logan Mankins was pick #32)? I know how important the OLine is … but guards?

And having the middle of your O-line set for a decade is a good thing.

I think they know he will not be there at 31, and if he is they will only take him if he is in fact the top guy available. By leaking this they get more teams thinking of taking him because of the hype, letting other players slip to them.

Do you have to take the value, or supply the value of the pick? If I have the number 1 overall, and I want a player who will drop to say, 32, I can’t just swap 1′s? The other team would have to supply me with the value of the pick?

Or say a team offers me a first and third for it and I decide its a good deal…would the league stop me from making it unless they offered me more?

If not, they have to go Corner with their 1st rounder. They need to resign Ike and get another cover corner on the opposite side first and foremost.

However, Pittsburgh is too smart to tip their hand like this. I’d be willing to be this is a smokescreen to make teams believe that is who they are targeting with a move up so they can get who they actually want.

Pretty smart way to convince a team that may be targeting the same guy you are to move back in a trade just to lose the guy they really wanted.

He stated a little ealier that the RedSkins badly wanted to trade up real badly to the number 2 spot to get Blaine..

So in La Canfora’s world all the teams are now trading up for who they supposedly want.
