So we know it's not going to happen, Nick, but I'm curious your thoughts on what it would take to trade up for the number one pick with the Raiders.
They're going to pick Mendoza, but if the Steelers were to move up from like 21 or to the number two pick if they wanted Ty Simpson, something like that, would it be like two, three first round picks?
You pronounce it a lot better than I come up.
Here is Jack in Mount Washington to chime in.
I would typically agree with you on that and just don't think that it's worth a quarterback in the middle rounds.
But for two reasons, I would consider it this year.
One is because they're going to have 11 or 12 picks.
So you have the most picks that you've ever had in a draft.
So it allows you that flexibility to be able to take a flyer on a quarterback.
And also, Auer and Nussmeier both were hurt a lot of the year.
had their head coaches fired in the middle of the season, and I think were kind of failed by their coaching.
They're both different in terms of their frame, their style, their upside, but I think both are worth an opportunity late in the third round or in the middle of the fourth round based on that high upside, where maybe you do hit like on a Russell Wilson or Jalen Hurts' second round, but yet we're talking third round.
Or Dak Prescott.
Or Dak Prescott, where...
There's no doubt about that.
So a defensive head coach won the Super Bowl.
A defensive play caller, for the first time as a head coach, won the Super Bowl.
But it is very noteworthy that their offense significantly helped them get there by beating the No.
1 offense in the Rams with Sam Darnold throwing three touchdowns and look at Kenneth Walker's Super Bowl MVP, JSN.
