…Pickens or Watt (or both) to get a second round (but more realistically a third round) extra pick.
Both are financially expendable (only one season left)… Imo…a no-brainer move.
Pickens for sure. Like he’s not going to have more attitude as the number two wide receiver, getting paid a small fraction of the number one, with a shitty quarterback tossing the ball around..
Even Odds Steelers Trade…
They've supposedly been shopping Pickens. But as others have said, given they'd get an R3 comp for him (albeit 2 years away), it probably has to be at least a late R2.
So I'm not sure how much teams discount future picks.
If they are confident Rodgers will sign, I think they're unlikely to trade Pickens or Watt and probably aren't going to move up to take a flyer at QB.
If they wanted Sanders, I think they would have taken him last night. I think Tomlin talking Sanders up a few days ago was because they knew they weren't drafting him and Tomlin was trying to help him out with some of the negative stuff out there.
