    Good for Williamson. A good player with a lot to contribute. Another guy I’m happy to see get the hell out of here and land with a contender.

    A 5th. Probably weren’t gonna get much more elsewhere. But Jesus Christ we can’t even capitalize til 2022? Questionable.

    Just last week I was so in favor of moving Williamson because he's obviously not helping us win any 0-8 games and he's obviously not a long term option I have no idea what we received in draft value but I'm excited that JD is giving us more draft capital even despite already having more draft picks than any other NFL GM over the next 2-3 draft's.

    I remember I was claiming Avery Williamson could go for a 3rd or more likely a 4th . I was pretty much laughed at (and maybe rightfully so) but I feel he's more valuable than just a 5th 6th or 7th round pick again I could be wrong but I'm anxious to see what type of draft pick we received in return.

    Even if it's for a 5th that could become a nice round to find a sleeper RB, OLB, CB, O-Line or heck even a SS because as of right now lol we have none.

    JD at this rate will seriously have 40+ picks over the next 3 drafts and rightfully so because as of right now Becton, Mims and QW are our only long-term keepers on a soon to be 0-16 roster.

    Actually 2022 is better than next year because Pitt just might win the SB this year.
    That said ... if the best we can get is a 5th, I'd rather just keep the player ... but good for him.
    They did him a favor.

    Fantastic. I'll trade anyone over age 27, (except Gore obviously) and take whatever picks we can get.

    Actually we had to give up Williamson AND a 7th round pick just to get a 5th round pick. I think that sucks. Was Douglas that desperate to shed salary? I'm not impressed.

    Can't wait to trade Mcgovern and a 2024 7th, for a 2025 6th.

    He wasn’t worth much on the last year of a contract...it’s basically an 8 game rental for Pitt. Only worth a swap of our 7th for their 5th..

    but it’s exactly what we knew we’d be doing

    full 100% tear down...anyone with any value is gone

    I would think JDis going to listen to any and all offers....

    I hope we use the pick on a practice squad QB...we will probably need another one after we trade White for a 1st.

    Then the JD will have more draft picks in the next 47 years than any GM has ever had in the history of GMing.

    After some failed googling, can someone give an updated list of all our picks in the next 2 drafts?

    Not quite.

    "First draft was in 1936 and was 9 rounds, went to 20 rounds in 1939, 30 rounds in 1943, 25 rounds in 1949, 30 rounds in 1950, back down to 20 rounds in 1960, 17 rounds in 1967, down to 12 rounds in 1977, then down to 8 rounds in 1993 and then down to the 7 rounds we have today starting in 1994."

    I just wonder how many years we will be getting the #1 pick overall, next year will be a guarantee, this message board will be suicidal and very abrasive fire the next 5yrs

    I get that he was going to walk anyway so might as well get something... but we’d probably get a 5th or 6th round comp pick without having to give up the 7th. Made sense to do it but I have a hard time acting like it was anything more than lateral. I’m happier for Williamson than us.

    The way to look at this is not whether we can draft a guy like Williamson with a 5th rounder, but whether the 7th to 5th rounder swap is worth more for us than keeping Avery for 8 more games left in this season. After this season he is UFA, and any team can sign him, even the Jets if they want. Having him on the roster in 2020 does not make him playing for the Jets in 2021 any more likely. And with us actually benefitting more from losing this year than winning, a 5th rounder over 8 game rental is another trade that makes sense.

    It is also good this was not a 2021 swap, since currently with us last and Stealers first, we are only moving up really one round. In 2022, the move up in the draft to Stealers pick may be a be a bit better.

    It’s a horrible trade.
    Of course you aren’t impressed how could you be?
    All Douglas has done is dismantle every good piece we’ve had, for little to no compensation, without replacing them.

    But the one piece he stands by is Gase.

    Not being impressed is kind.
    Douglas has been a straight up disaster.

    The guy has had one full offseason and he's acquiring assets and avoiding burdensome deals because he understands this team isn't good enough to compete for a title, and won't be without a serious infusion of young talent.

    What would you have preferred he did?

    Not sure on the comp pick. Doesn’t signing a lot of free agents usually net it out to be nothing? I don’t quite get how the compensation process works but I always thought it was a net of who you lose vs who you sign and it’s weighted by some sort of talent metric. I assume (and hope) we are quite active in free agency this offseason.
