Terrible Towel Tales: ESPN proposes draft-day trade between Steelers & Cowboys for …..
ESPN Projects Cowboys and Steelers Trade One insider thinks the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers might make a trade.
Pittsburgh With their first-round selection remaining, the Pittsburgh Steelers have options, and as the NFL Draft approaches, it seems more and more analysts anticipate they will revert to pick number 20.
According to a prediction made by ESPN’s Bill Barnwell, on draft night, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys will trade for picks 87 (third round) and 174 (fifth round), moving Pittsburgh back from pick No. 20 to pick No. 24. Picks 20 and 119 (fourth round) are forfeited.
“The Steelers could stand to add another offensive lineman, but they would probably be looking toward tackle as opposed to guard. This wasn’t a deep team a year ago, and the days when they had homegrown talent waiting to burst through the ranks up and down the roster appear to be in the past.
I’d like to see Pittsburgh add more depth across the board with this draft, and Mike Tomlin’s team would have five top-100 picks if it did this deal,” Barnwell writes.
The Steelers have been linked to rumored trades with the Buffalo Bills and Arizona Cardinals, with everyone seemingly thinking Pittsburgh is going to move back, they now have three options that could make sense.
Pittsburgh could target either an offensive tackle or center with the 24th pick, and should have options at both by the time their selection comes around. Moving back from 20 makes sense if their options are all on the table, and only dropping four spots could be a move worth thinking about for the Steelers.
