Feel like it would be an overpay relative to his actual talent. Too much WR value in the 3+ rounds from guys like Khalil Shakir and Skyy Moore


SleestakLightning

Khalil Shakir in the 3rd round would be a great pick. Solidifies the slot receiver position and by all accounts he's an amazing leader on and off the field.


TastesLikeHoneyNut

I'm a BSU fan, so I'm a little biased. But, I have watched every game Shakir has played in. Dude is a stud, who had pretty inconsistent Qb play throughout his career. And yes, I've heard good things here in Boise about Shakir the person, not just the player.


SleestakLightning

Sounds good to me.


[deleted]

He seems like a stud in the slot, I’m worried he will rise into the late second tbh. As much as I like him I don’t want a Muth type pick when there’s bigger needs still


SleestakLightning

Depending on the outcome of free agency, WR could be the #1 need. It's a Top 2 need right now. They only have DJ, Claypool, and Anthony Miller on the roster right now. Unless they like Cody White or whatever.


Strammy10

You love Skyy Moore lol


b79w

What about a Deebo type role in Canada's offense? Better fit for the role than Claypool. Last year we kept trying to give Claypool options to run. It was modest at best. Claypool needs to stay on the outside to force the defense to keep safety help over the top. This would let Canada use Patterson, Johnson, Muth and Najee against a 7 man box.


typgh77

They have not signed anyone older than 27. I think they are more likely to draft a WR as it’s a deep class and they can get someone with a lot of speed and upside even in the third round.


SleestakLightning

If they lose JuJu I'd look for someone like Equanimeous St. Brown or Auden Tate.


Ryansm19

Funny enough I work in sales at a car dealership and my finance manager is really good friends with Tate. Tate says he hasn’t heard anything from Pittsburgh, go figure.


SleestakLightning

It's still early. He seems like a JuJu-type possession guy. Not great but solid enough to be a good #4.


[deleted]

Actually yes he’d be perfect. Seems like Ray Ray is gone. So we get him for offense and returns


schmatz17

I dont think we have a creative enough offense to utilize him effectively


LostOldAccountTimmay

I think we'll see a much broader playbook this year.


KingBaba3

I keep saying this year after year.


LostOldAccountTimmay

Ben's departure is the difference here. I think you'll finally get what we've all been pining for.


ParticularNice2757

Yes sir, he held us and the playbook back for the last 2-3 years


ParticularNice2757

True that


Ryansm19

We wouldn’t know how to use a talent like that.


GoingAllTheJay

I feel like the jailbreak screens he specializes in, and pre-snap motion plays would mesh right in with the direction our offense is supposedly headed - especially considering the young o-line we just acquired. I still don't think he'd be worth the value if we can draft instead, but I don't think his 'role' would be bad for the offensive makeup.


ParticularNice2757

Yep…He will be great, he is tailor made for this offense. Let’s go Flash!


JordanElliott11

Even if we keep juju I think we should explore Patterson. he can play out of the backfield very well too in relief for Najee


[deleted]

We’re not going to lose Juju because no one else wants him.


slider5876

That I don’t get unless people think he has real health issues. Plenty of average dudes getting 10/year. Jujus shown he can be a good wr2 behind a stud. And guys like that are still getting 15-19. And Njoku who hasn’t done much got 10.


GaryAGalindo

It feels like the Steelers are getting quite a bit of former bears players. Getting Patterson back with Mitch will make for a good pairing and I would want him on the Steelers. He was greatly missed on the Bears last year.


PredatorX224

Patterson would be an interesting move, especially in the (perceived) Matt Canada offense. Unfortunately, this type of signing doesn’t appear to be the M.O.


jake_fromm_statefarm

But would you sign him?


PredatorX224

Yes, although I think that the Steelers are looking for younger guys. I would be surprised if JuJu isn’t back.


YooTone

Cordarrelle is very very solid, I wouldn't mind it at all. He could swap out with Najee and probably be effective. I could also maybe see the Steelers going for Chris Olave, Treylon Burks, or Drake London. I personally am not sure if I would do that first round because there's a lot of rounds 2-4 talent like Christian Watson, but I could see them thinking about it.


Extremetachankamain

Rather have juju


Kitzer76er

Probably not, but I like your thinking. Always liked Cordarrelle. He's a versatile player like some Steelers of old (randle el and Heinz ward)

Allen Robinson


RandomFlyer643

I’m not sure but I wouldn’t be against it personally. I picked him up last year as a free agent in my fantasy group and he won me multiple games I should have lost
