AFerg726 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Is there any reason to believe that JuJu is available? Don't the Steelers want to win this year? As for the original question, I would absolutely make that trade for JuJu...I know he will want to get paid, and he should get close to Amari money. That is the price of high-end WR play in 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An established successful player, capable of being top 10 in the league for years and that we have seen be outstanding at times vs a pair of dart throw draft choices? Are you serious? Exactly, no brainer of a trade. The question is why would Pittsburgh ever make that trade now? They would go into the season with a rookie in Claypool and James Washington - what signal would that send to Ben and the rest of the team? Can we give the perriman too to sweeten the deal and help their WR corps in 2020? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets have been the only ones abiding by that rule. You also need to evaluate whether a player fails before you get other players. That takes an indeterminate amount of time but the sooner the better, obviously. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just going to mention this. He hurt his knee in November, missed 4 gaemes and played through injury in the Steelers last two games of the season. Add in the loss of Roethlisberger and it is no surprise his numbers are down. As long as the knee is good, he would be a guy I would love to add. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bealeb319 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I meant with Ju Ju And Crowder is one of the best slot receivers in football.Crowder is alright but he has to step up this year for there to be an argument as one of the best. Last year he did well behind a bad offensive line and with darnold out a few games but this year hopefully there are no excuses and he has over 1k yards and 10+ touchdowns. Until then I think saying he is one of the best is over rating him.Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using JetNation.com mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 EDIT: I misunderstood the terms. It was the 2021 2nd and apparently the 2021 5th, since the 2020 draft is over. Schuster is an excellent player, but isn't he is in his walk year? I think his success has primarily come from the slot and I don't get how "he only played 12 games" is supposed to make me want him more. Concussion and knee injuries often linger. I get wanting to add Schuster, but no thanks. Think about what this years 2nd turned into: Mims, Morgan, Clark, and the Patriots 2021 6th. The 2021 draft is also supposed to be very receiver heavy. For one season of JJSS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derp Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 If the Steelers trade Juju, it’s because they expect him to leave in free agency after this season. So a new contract has to be built into this. Which I don’t see anyone talking about. What are you willing to pay Juju after trading a 2 and a 5 for him? No idea where the idea Juju struggled last year because his quarterback couldn’t push the ball downfield is coming from. He ate from the slot early in his career and has never been a downfield guy. Average target depth of 8.4-10.3 his whole career - last year included. And 8.4 was his big 2018 season. For the Jets last year for comparison - Crowded’s average target depth was 8, Thomas’ was 9.6, and Anderson’s was 14. Along those lines not sure why we’re so keen on pairing him with Crowder, or confident he can play outside. Juju is a big slot and a guy who is effective underneath. If anything he’s a Crowder replacement. Also just think this has no chance of happening from a fit standpoint as I said earlier. It seems pretty clear that the Jets want outside receivers who can put pressure on defenses vertically with speed to open up the run game and underneath passing game. Frankly I expect they’ll want to replace Crowder with a more vertical slot guy if they get an opportunity too. That’s the direction this offense is going. Curtis Samuel is the guy to target if anyone. Can play inside or outside, vertical threat, Panthers may be looking to move on, also coming off a down year but won’t be as expensive to acquire, and actually struggled because the Panthers quarterbacks couldn’t find him downfield. He’s Mims/Perriman readiness insurance outside and Crowder insurance in case of injury. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyLV Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 1 hour ago, Gastineau Lives said: The way people overvalue draft picks is a ****n mazing to me. Well I am amazed how readily many are willing to give them all away for players many of whom would in no way justify the loss of draft capital. Draft picks in my opinion are incredibly valuable, more valuable than people realize because you have a chance to get a great player under the rookie salary structure. A lot of picks fail so keeping them dramtically increases the odds of getting a good player. I suspect that this trade is all just complete speculation. I could see trading for him but draft picks are very very real costs that should not be taken lightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
