Trade Big Ben for the Number One Pick

Post #1 » by **el loco** » Thu Apr 15, 2010 8:15 am

Yesterday Morning on Mike and Mike, it was reported from a local radio station in Pittsburgh that the Rams have offered their 1st in this years draft (1st overall pick) and their 1st in next years draft for Big Ben, should the Steelers make this trade if the offer is legit?

Gil Brandt on Sirius last night: "That's someone with a vivid imagination."

Peter King this morning: "I talked to officials on both teams and both teams openly laughed at it and mocked me for asking."

I texted a Rams beat writer and he sent me this back: "put the bong down dude"

Even the Mike and Mike guys said yesterday morning: "That ain't happening" But, you never know, there might have been some truth to it.

Question is what exactly would be "fair value" for a top 5 QB like this?

Steelers shouldnt trade Big Ben he is there whole offence w/o him they are screwed ther would be no one to throw heinz the ball and they would have to weigh all the pressure on reahard mendenhall a young runningback. dont trade been it would be a dumb thing to do

It never ceases to amaze me how little in the way of draft picks a good NFL player will fetch. Seeing what McNabb got, I'd expect Roethlisberger to be moved for #21, not #1. :roll:

Sometimes you have to take a step back in order to get yourself going forward.
