Nah, if true, it can only be for White
that would be a huge haul to give up for a linebacker...

maybe with the smoke going on about the cardinals maybe passing on murray, the steelers are getting contingencies in place to move up for murray in case he falls? maybe a huge haul to move up to the jets who definitely wanna trade back, because if murray is there at 4 hes a raider

A little look in the past. Ed Reed was just a guy. Simply the best left after the players the Ravens "really wanted" were gone. Kinda reminds me of people's reaction to us drafting Humphrey and then him turning into one of the best corners in the league.

Not necessarily, there have been plenty of trades over the years that have teams trading from the 20s into the top 10 and not taking a QB.

Not quite top ten but just recently the Saints traded from 27 to 14 for a pass rusher.
Per Schefter: Louisiana Tech defensive end Jaylon Ferguson is helping people in Ruston, La. after the tornado there, and because there's no cell service, may not know if he's drafted on Friday, when he is projected to be a second-round pick.
the difference is that they were reacting to who was still on the board - it sounds like the steelers are proactively trying to get into the top 10 before they have any real inkling of who's gonna be there

It wouldn't be that hard to figure out who will be available or have it narrowed down to two people depending on the spot they're trading to. And judging by the talent of this draft it has to be a QB or pass rusher. They need a corner but none of them are worth that kind of jump.
Josh Allen, Ed Oliver, or Quinnen Williams has to be the target if they're moving into the top 5. If they can trade with the Raiders or Buccs then at least one of them will be available. If they trade ahead of the Bengals to 9 or 10, then it's probably Brian Burns as the target who will still be available. There's also the off chance that they're trading ahead of the Bengals for a LB, but that's an expensive trade for LBs that don't really seem like generational talents.
Haskins also has to be in the conversation but they literally just extended Ben's contract.

well, harbaughs zipper just busted, confirmed raven at 22
I doubt the trade will happen if the player isn't available. It will cost them a boatload of picks.

devin white is a generational talent imo, hes rare, and the steelers very well could be playing a game of keeping up with the joneses, getting the fastest defender out there in the middle of the field, trying to emulate what the chargers did vs us but without actually taking LBs off the field.

Don’t see White falling that far but Bush will probably be available
but because its all outside they were worried about the thunderstorms lol - could be a whole different kind of lit
one of those rare times when pundits talking about the atmosphere being electric will be speaking literally rather than metaphorically

that would be even more lit
