ChemEngr79 Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 1 hour ago, Starkiller said: I have to assume someone will pay him because he did so well in that role. I mean, if you are in the same division as one of the elite TEs, don’t you have to consider it? Not starter money maybe, but high end veteran depth money? Veteran nickelback-type money maybe. This is a valuable niche, IMO. This is a fascinating evaluation, because he is a legit weapon against high end TEs. However, he is not a starting S. I can only assume JRob has a value he is not going to exceed. Most likely we are looking at a comp pick and some other team is likely to be disappointed at a starter salary spent on Dane...

Downtown Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Cruk is 26 and came out as a raw, athletic prospect. He’s likely still got his best football in front of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 I don’t know that he will get a lot of guaranteed money, but I can see him getting $3M a year. Teams aren’t going to invest a ton on a guy who hasn’t proven he can start and has had injury issues. But you also can’t overlook what he managed to do against Kelsey and Kittle last year. No one else has really done that well against those guys. Certainly not unless you are talking about elite defenders. I just see Cruikshank as being a pretty unique situation. He fits a niche role that few teams really have a guy for but can be very valuable, just not every week. Also, if the Chargers or Broncos wanted a guy who could cover Kelsey and Waller 4 times a year, maybe that makes Cruikshank valuable to them. Or maybe Gronk ends up in the same division as Kittle or Andrews. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 I'm honestly just thankful after so many years of Webster that we're actually farming starters. This kinda stuff has kept Steelers fans fed for decades. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Just wish we could get a comp pick for him.. maybe a 5 th or 6th depending on the contract Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XAEA12 Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Maybe he'd be a better fit at corner as a nickel if he's better in man coverage. He did play corner his junior year before switching to safety in college. Who was the player we drafted in the 7th who had a good career with the Ravens? I think won a Superbowl. He could end up like him, just needing an opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
