  • Dorseys drafting hasn’t been as stellar as people like to make out.

    I was just going to post that his 2018 Draft isn't looking as Steelers 1974 Draft-like anymore. 

    (The Steelers drafted like 34 future HOFers that year)

    Ok, Corbett was a miss. I applaud Dorsey for getting SOMETHING for him & admitting he was a "miss" by trading him. Our previous GMs would hang onto mistakes forever rather than admit they were mistakes. I'll live with Dorsey's track record...NOBODY is right all the time.

    A 5th rounder in 2021 is like a 7th in 2020 in trading standards, right?

    I agree that we should be glad that he didn't keep him around because it was 'his pick', but drafting with the 33rd overall pick (one pick away from being a first rounder) a guy and 6 weeks into his second year trading him after 15 snap counts as a Brown (per Pro Football Reference) while having concerns and injuries in the Oline is a big miss in my opinion. 

    Today is not a day to applaud Dorsey.

    A 5th rounder is at best a future Genard Avery.. another guy who has lost PT to some combination of Chad Thomas and UDFA Adarius Taylor. 

    Arguably Higgins, also a 5th-rounder, is in a better position but he was cut before he stuck.

    I guess that is the old saying... I never understood the thinking behind that though.

    A 5th round pick is a 5th round pick when it is used, one year from now or 40 years from now.

    Well, glad to see him gone.......finally.

    I was pushing for him to not make the final roster and was a bit miffed when he did. Hopefully, we didnt cut someone who could have helped(doubt it tho)

    I will say Id MUCH rather get a 5th rounder over cutting a guy.....so theres that.....

    Well, it makes sense for me. Current money has more value than future money, because it gives you option now. It's like having 1000 in cash instead of 1100 in unpaid bills by your employers.

    We Italians are usually the ones showing up at people's door to collect money, though. ?
