It makes a lot of sense. It was a desperation type move and you have to overpay there. If Steelers are desperate for draft picks and Tomlin is over him, then yeah 4th may do it. This guy has played with ZERO good QBs and has put up great numbers. I would take him in a heartbeat. I think our culture/Josh would mellow him out. 2 1 1 Quote
Pre1236 Posted April 25 Posted April 25 I think Pickens would be a blast on this team. Ton of talent and attitude and Josh keeps him in line. He could put up some crazy numbers here. I don’t mind a bit of chaos! 1 Quote

Expand if Beane talks with Josh and we’re okay with the possible nonsense….. worth the risk Josh is more of a leader now and it’s possible Pickens attitude could be “leashed” Quote
njbuff Posted April 25 Posted April 25 I’d give a 5th rounder, nothing more. He’s a headache in a walk year. If the Steelers want more than a 5th, good luck. Quote
The Firebaugh Kid Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Dude a Baller. I’d give them more than a fourth round pick myself 2 Quote

Maine-iac Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Making jump balls a larger part of our game is not my first idea about how to get better. Give me a down field route runner with decent to good speed and size. For all the Pickens love there's not much difference between his game and Coleman's game. Coleman stays healthy he could probably put up 900 yards and 3TDs. Moreover the guy ended up on the bench a lot because of attitude. We got rid of Diggs for a reason. Quote

They talked about surgery, so it was not a small thing. 1 1 Quote

Einstein's Dog Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Maybe Pickens for J Cook? Trade problems on their contract years. Quote
