Therefore, moving up to find an impact player—and not moving down to acquire even more picks—is the only realistic trade option. EDTShareTweetShareShareGoing up, not down, is the Steelers only trade option in the 2019 NFL DraftTrevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY SportsEvery year, leading up to the NFL Draft, Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert does his little dance with the media, where he says the team would not be opposed to trading up, trading down or standing pat (he almost always stands pat) in the first round.The theory this year is that Pittsburgh should absolutely try to trade up if one of the Devin’s—realistically, Michigan’s Devin Bush—slips far enough into the middle portion of the first round to make such a deal doable. I agree. I think most would agree that inside linebacker is the team’s biggest need, a need that may be addressed much more adequately with a 21-year old rookie with speed and upside than a going on 30-year old veteran just picked up in free agency who may be in the twilight of his career (Mark Barron).Nothing against Barron, who very-well could be a tremendous asset to the defense in 2019, but he doesn’t seem like much of an impact player these days. Does Bush? Nobody knows for certain, but that’s why they call the draft one giant crap-shoot. But the closer you get to the top ofthe first round, the greater the chance of finding an impact player https://www.thesteelerslockerroom.com/authentic-terrell-edmunds-jersey , hence the desire to see the Steelers trade up to get a prospect such as Bush. And with 10 picks to use as trade ammo, why not get on the phone if Bush is in sight? How about trading down? Trading down, really, with 10 picks? In years past, when Pittsburgh was perhaps struggling in the draft capital department, the thought of trading down in the first round (or even out of the first round) and acquiring more picks seemed sensible. But with 10 this year, that just seems unnecessary. It isn’t like the Browns of a two or three years ago, when 15 rookies made the team. The Steelers may have their struggles and their deficiencies and their weaknesses, but even after the departure of some very serious offensive production, Pittsburgh is still believed to be closer to a contender than a team about to blow it all up. Teams that are blowing things up want lots of rookies. Teams that are believed to be contenders don’t have room for many youngsters. True, by bringing more draft picks into camp, you increase the odds of finding some really good ones (I doubt even the Steelers believe they will break camp this summer with all 10 draft picks having made the team). But, again, by trading up in the first round, you increase the odds of finding a splash player. The last two times the Steelers traded up in the first round, it led to finding players who would be integral to future Super Bowl success. Everyone gets enamored with draft picks in the spring, but those Super Bowl victories in the winter are much more gratifying. The Steelers are probably going to stay true to their draft board and just stand pat on Thursday, but if there’s any thought of making a trade, up Womens Terrell Edmunds Jersey , not down, is the only way to go. Hard Knocks didn’t wait long to address Antonio Brown‘s feet Tuesday night. Three minutes into the second episode of the season, the Raiders receiver’s burned feet took center stage.“Do you want to see it?” Brown asked the NFL Films crew. “Are you sure you want to see it?”Brown showed the bottoms of his blistered and cracked feet, which co-host Chris Simms first reported were injured in a cryotherapy chamber. “My feet is pretty much getting circumcised, right? Right? For real,” Brown said to the NFL Films cameras after pulling off his socks. “It’s kind of like a pull back right now. I’m [expletive] circumcised on my feet. Hopefully my feet are born again, and I figure to run faster. Feel sorry for me later.”A week after not addressing the reason for Brown’s injured feet, Hard Knocks was more forthcoming in the second episode. Brown explained he was on vacation in Paris and, while training, sought cold therapy to recover.Hard Knocks, though, never said Brown was wearing improper footwear in the crytherapy chamber.“I got out, and I felt my foot burning,” Brown told the NFL Films crew. “I was like, ‘Man, I feel a hot sensation.’ The next like 24 hours it swelled up. It got really big. I couldn’t really walk or put pressure. The doctor came over, drained a little out. Scalpel the next day. Freaking scissors the next day. Just kind of let it leak all out. As everything leaked all out, I was able to put a little pressure. Thankfully, my trainer was working me out in the midst of my freaking. . . I can’t be on my feet.“Now Terrell Edmunds Jersey White , it’s just like new skin, I’m just trying to get my feet used to feeling that, but I feel like I’ve just got a . . . big whoopee cushion. You know?”Raiders coach Jon Gruden speaking to the team’s head athletic trainer, Rod Martin, called Brown’s hobbled feet a “a serious burn.” Martin added “frostbite.”Brown then is shown leaving training camp.Sprinkled into the rest of the episode are the questions — and non-answers — about when Brown will return. General Manager Mike Mayock, who played no role in the first episode, is shown in the production meeting with the team’s broadcasters answering a question about Brown.“He’s going to be fine,” Mayock said. “I’m not going to get into all the medical, because we’re not supposed to this time of year. But at the end of the day, he’s like a thoroughbred and he’s going to be fine. I’m hoping he’ll be back next week full speed.” It remains to be seen when he will practice again, though. Brown last practiced July 30.Brent Musburger, the team’s play-by-play voice, asked Gruden in the production meeting how concerned the coach was about Brown’s absence.“I’m concerned,” Gruden said. “We’re missing time here. I’ve always said, ‘Time spent; value received.’ You’ve got to spend time at this. So we’re concerned. We’re optimistic, but we’re concerned.”Hard Knocks didn’t spend much time on Brown’s helmet issue, showing an NFL Network clip about Brown’s grievance against the NFL near the end of the episode but teased it for next week. Tuesday’s episode ended with Brown returning to camp. To be continued, in other words.
