NFL Report: George Patrick won’t being playing again due to an injury He obtained in His last

 

 

 

Let’s play in the hypothetical sandbox for a minute. … and maybe stir the pot while we’re at it.

 

The Pittsburgh Steelers currently hold the 21st overall pick in the NFL Draft, valued at 800 points on Jimmy Johnson’s iconic Trade Value Chart. It’s a strong asset — but maybe not enough to secure the future face of their franchise in a quarterback like Jaxson DarSome Steelers fans may feel like the path to trading up in the draft vanished the moment Pittsburgh dealt its second-round pick for DK Metcalf.

 

But if we’re being honest about George Pickens’ current value across the league, the door is still very much open. Pickens, like Metcalf, carries legitimate market weight — and many evaluators would argue his value is comparable to that of a second-round pick.

 

Cowboys ↔️ Steelers trade hypothetical just for fun:

 

•PIT receives: (pick 12)— & select QB JAXSON DART

 

•DAL receives (pick 21 & George Pickens)

 

The Cowboys 12th overall pick = 1200 pts.

The Steelers 21st overall pick = 800 pts

So the Steelers are 400 points short of… pic.twitter.com/gcdfwOq1Hj

In other words, Pickens is your second-round pick in any potential trade-up scenario. He’s also entering the final year of his rookie deal, which means Pittsburgh is at a crossroads: either flip him now and cash in while his value is still high, or let him play out the year and potentially walk for nothing more than a compensatory third-roun

 

If the Steelers are serious about chasing their next franchise quarterback, this is the kind of calculated move that keeps them in the game — and maybe ahead of it.

 

So what if Pittsburgh really does sweeten the trade pot … with George Pickens?

 

Let’s peg Pickens’ trade value around the same ballpark as what Seattle recently paid for Metcalf: pick 52, worth about 380 points. That makes the combined trade offer (800 + 380) worth 1,180 points — nearly a perfect match for a top-12 pick.

 

The Dallas Cowboys hold the No. 12 pick … and are broadcasting the news that they want to trade down.

 

On paper, the math checks out. But on the field? The logic might be even stronger.

 

Advertisemend pick in 2027.
