2024 NFL Draft
Steelers-Cardinals Could Make Draft Trade
If you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers trade back, the Arizona Cardinals might be the natural team to make that happen.
The Pittsburgh Steelers could look to trade back in the 2024 NFL Draft. It makes sense. They have a lot of needs, and if they want to go get value at a spot like center, trading back could put them in the perfect position to go out there and acquire more draft capital to fill out some of the other holes on the roster.
A potential trade-back partner? The Arizona Cardinals. Arizona holds the No. 4 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and the No. 27 pick in the class, and they may want to move up from the No. 27 overall pick with a litany of day two picks at their disposal to make it happen. Pittsburgh might be the team that could let it happen, too.
Jordan Reid of ESPN has heard that it would be no surprise if the Cardinals were aggressive in making a move up the board to get another talent they covet from No. 27.
“It shouldn’t come as a surprise if Arizona gets aggressive and attempts to move up from No. 27 for a cornerback on Day 1. Murphy-Bunting is more of a CB2. There’s a glaring need for a high-upside CB1, and Nate Wiggins (Clemson) and Kool-Aid McKinstry (Alabama) could be Day 1 options for a roster still in the talent collection portion of its rebuild,” Reid wrote.
Another team that made sense was the Buffalo Bills, and they could be a team that looks to come up for a wide receiver like Brian Thomas Jr. Depending on who’s on the board, it seems like this year’s draft could be a perfect opportunity for the Steelers to trade down for the first time in the draft since selecting Casey Hampton in 2001. The Steelers just have so many needs — wide receiver, center, offensive tackle and slot cornerback. Those four feel like the obvious top four needs and could be classified as positions they have to draft in some respects.
Both trade-back scenarios are appealing. The Bills might be willing to give up No. 60 overall, while the Cardinals may be flexible but might be willing to give up a pick near the top of the third round to move up the board. All of these picks would give the Steelers far more security to let the board play out as long as they like who is there in the first round.
as a true Steelers fan, Steelers Omar Khan shuold try and get the Arizona Cardinals number# 1 2024 9 spot in the draft for George Pickens the pain in the but
This is the most asinine comment that I’ve heard in while! Trade our the only legitimate wr we have to be in the same position we’re already in
The author of that comment sees it differently
First round DEJEAN or Wiggins
Second round Frazier or jbj
Third round Corley or legette
as a true Steelers fan, the Steelers have Calvin Austin lll at wide receiver and Steelers Omar Khan can draft two more wide receivers so trading pain in the but George Pickens make sense and the Arizona Cardinals need wide receivers
All these draft analyst never mentioned ilb there run defense was terrible.
Maybe because we signed Patrick Queen. We will draft a ILB on Day 2 or 3.
Not worth the long move down to 27. Dallas would grab Barton. All of the top rated OTs would be gone. All top CBs gone. All top WRs gone. Then we would have basically 3- #2 picks and no top tier players to choose from. Not happening. I dont see us moving down at all, especially below Dallas at 24 who needs Oline as bad as we do. If anything, we move up in 1st or 2nd round.
