Of the players available, I wanted Will Johnson or one of the DEs. I get taking a WR, but there were bigger needs.
They did it to get the crowd crazy and to day it's their first 1st round wr in decades, picked at the draft in Green Bay. Such fanfare, much wow. This office has the best picks in later rounds anyway.
My belief is that Steelers and Rodgers already have a handshake deal in place. The Steelers are letting Rodgers do his spiritual bullshit during the offseason so it doesn't look bad when he's signed to the team but not participating in the OTAs and stuff like that. He'll be there for training camp.
That seems too clever for Art II, I think he may be fully deluded enough to let Tomlin ride with Mason Rudolph acting as a bridge for a day 2 QB. I think after the Killer Bs the Steelers as an org are eager to avoid media controversy or drama, which Rodgers will attract no matter what, because his hatedom is obsessive and honestly more annoying than he is at this point.
You know Deion forced that one on them. At least Travis Hunter won the Heisman, it made sense to retire his number.
The amount of relief from Tree And Five when neither of their teams drafted Sanders was exhilarating. How do you fuck up interviews that badly?
Did you see his draft setup? With a couch emblazoned with a "LEGACY" hashtag? Take the mind behind that, and imagine him in an interview. Dude's had every accolade besides stuff that solely measures on the field performance thrown at him and probably has the ego to match.
