According to ESPN, the Steelers have interviewed Levi Brown and might be interested in trading up in order to get him. And since we draft directly in front of the Texans, odds are we could be their target. After lookings at the draft value chart it seems a trade of our 1st (9) and 3rd(71) for their 1st (15), 2nd (46), and a 2008 mid round pick would be a reasonable deal. My question is would you take that trade? I would, that would give us 4 picks in the first 2 rounds and 3 in the second rounds, were I believe you get the best value for your pick and odds are one of the top players that we covet in the 9 spot will still be available at 15.
 
That is of course unless we want to take Levi Brown.

I know, I know, the staff "doesnt love him".

You cant believe anything draft-related you read in the paper. Its one big game of smoke and mirrors.
 
Possible Pitt draft day trade????

Pitt is looking to move up to get Levi Brown and they had him in town yesterday. Apparently, they're very high on him and looking to move up to get him. The Steelers have a history of moving up in the draft and they're currently slated at #15. There are definitely a couple of potential suitors between us and Pitt including the texans. I'd be game to move down 6 slots if we could pick up a 2nd. It seems like every mock has us taking the same 4 or 5 players... none of which are very convincing as definitive picks for us. Why not just take who drops and try to snag another first day pick, as long as the 2 qbs are off the board... and thomas, calvin.
 
Unless Quinn was there it's a no brainer. Trade down and pick up a 2nd rd pick is a given. We can go QB, OL, and DB in the 2nd rd!!!

Why should we have to give up a pick? The 9th pick for the 15th and 46th is a fair deal.

According the the chart I used we would benefit an extra 140 points in your scenario. Roughly the value of a late 3rd rounder or next years 2nd. While I would be all for this, I don't think the steelers would be willing to make such a trade.
 
I would take their 2nd to move back 6 spots, then take somebody elses to move back again. Second round picks are good players that play with a chip on their shoulders because they were not first round picks. As many second round picks as you can get. They cost less too.
 
If we did this our draft could look like
15. Leon Hall/Greg Olsen
40&46. Dwayne Bowe/Sidney Rice and an OL prospect (Kalil?)
60. Kevin Kolb/Drew Stanton
71. BPA at TE/DB (depending on round 1) or OL

wow... talk about addressing tons of needs with great prospects.. i think i'd lose it if we pulled off
a draft day 1 like this
 
i'm all for it. it sounds like a great deal and i won't have to sit through tormented games with quinn at QB
 
If we don't trade up for Brady Quinn or if Quinn's not there, then I would do this trade.
 
why do the Steelers want Levi Brown..they have Marvel Smith, and Max Starks, Willie Colon who both can play RT and Marvel at left...well hmm maybe we can get them to give us Marvel Smith to go along with some draft picks..i would take Marvel in a heart beat
 
I mean I would do this trade, but not with giving up a third. People need to understand . . . u don't do trades based on what a draft value chart says. It just gives u a general idea of what is needed. It's not like we don't need OL help either. If they want Levi, they gotta come out of there pocket and get him, and if it means givin up a little more, so be it. 9 for 15 & 46, and I pull the trade or 9 and a second day pick . . . not 2 first day picks, hell no.

Levi Brown is good but is he that good to pass at 9? If he makes it to 9 then I would say make the trade. There is lots of value at 15 and an additional 2nd, which would make 3, is too good to pass up in my opnion.

They're the ones trying to get up to get the guy they want. The onus is on them to come up with what is necessary. They don't want to do it, tough. No Levi Jones for them. The only thing to consider might be whether or not they can get up higher than 9 with 15 and 46.
