NFL Draft and free agent talk

[Clintos]

Still can't play D# though.

 

[Je$ter]

I dunno if they put a couple more guys around Willis they will kill it. Earl Thomas or Joe Haden would shore up their d massively.

 

[Clintos]

Yeah. They can't just rely on Willis, they definitely need a couple more guys there. Thomas would be ideal IMO.

The Pittsburgh Steelers reacquired quarterback Byron Leftwich by dealing a seventh-round draft pick to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a sign they expect Ben Roethlisberger to be suspended for the start of the season.

Interesting. Big Ben hasn't been charged with anything has he?

No but Goddell is mulling over how long to suspend Roethlisberger for. There's not doubt in my mind it could be at least 5 weeks.

 

[Je$ter]

6 games what a fucking joke.

He didn't get charged with anything and he gets suspended for a third of the season.

Ps. I swear to God if the Rooneys trade Ben I personally will fly over to Pittsburgh and kick that old man in the tits.

 

[Bannermania]

They've bought Byron Leftwich to cover the suspension. Look for a trade very shortly.

woah! the Steelers have reportedly contacted the raiders about a trade:

Steelers trade: Ben Roethlisberger & 1st round pick (18th)

for

Raiders trade: 1st round pick (8th)

please let this happen.

 

[Meat77]

The Steelers would be mental to do that - absolutely mental

Pretty sure it was Ben plus a 5th round. Most people don't think any trade will happen though.

 

[Meat77]

So - 45 minutes till the first pick...are we convinced Bradford is going first?

 

[Je$ter]

Yep.

I have a feeling Suh or McCoy will fall out of top 5.

 

[Bannermania]

BRADFORD GOES NO.1

Suh goes to the Lions at No. 2

 

[Meat77]

I'm already nervous to see whose career the Browns kill at number 7...

 

[Bannermania]

Bucs take McCoy at No.3

 

[Meat77]

Now its gets interesting with the consensus best players taken already

 

[Bannermania]

Redskins with the steal. Taking the pick Oakland had eyes on, Trent Williams, with Pick 4.


Seems to be a trend here.

Chiefs take a fantastic pick with Eric Berry at No. 5
