Any validity to this??

With the rumor running rampant about the possibility of Plaxico Burress being traded on draft day, which teams would be the most likely to trade for him and how would the Steelers benefit from this?
-- Dan, Pittsburgh

I'll answer in reverse order: The Steelers' main benefit would be jettisoning a head case who has failed to live up to his first-round draft status. As for which teams would be interested, the Bills, Buccaneers, Titans, Chiefs and Panthers come to mind -- but not for a No. 1. Burress might bring a middle-of-the-pack second-round pick, but this year's draft is deep at WR, so even that may be wishful thinking. Pittsburgh's best hope is for Plax to get out of the fog he's been playing in and elevate his game

For a 2nd or 3rd next year I would say do it!

[ryjam282]

I think Plax is still pretty good....I mean, come on he has had Kordell and Tommy Maddox throwing to him. If he had a QB with an arm maybe he could excel, he definitely has the speed.


If we did the trade I would say for no more then a 3rd then we could get Rivers/Roethlisberger in the first and Jake Grove in the 2nd....Then, theoretically Plax in the 3rd. I would be ok with that.

wow that draft has us taking Williams and Rivers falling to the Packers.....hmmmmm

[THATHURMANATOR]

I would give up a 3rd in a heartbeat. He isn't too old either!

This guy is a douche bag! that draft is terrible.

[Ebenezer]

I'd give them a 5th next year...conditional...and a bag of footballs.

I guess his 2 consecutive 1000 yard seasons we're terrible and he still had 800 yards last year with a terrible QB, not bad if you ask me.

Why is he a douche bag?

[ryjam282]

Yeah, and what is bad with that draft I posted if we got him for a 3rd rounder?

[Patrick76777]

I think his draft is all wrong. Therefore, I'm calling him a Douche bag!

Oh my bad I thought you we're calling Burress a douche bag.

[Patrick76777]

Which would show more consistency then our current WR Eric Moulds. Who tends to play big one year and die down the next.
