Pete Carroll is gonna want a good QB. Getting Ben on the cheap would be advantageous for him. The Seattle Seahawks give the Steelers their second round pick which they acquired from San Diego.
The Steelers, now suddenly in need of a QBOTF, decide they want to trade up to get Clausen before the Browns pick and risk having to face him for the next decade.
#5 Overall is worth a point value of 1700.
The Steelers trade:
#18 (900 pts)
#52 (380 pts)
#60 (300 pts)
#82 (180 pts)
(1760 total pts)
Chiefs trade:
#5 (1700 pts)
#136 (38 pts)
2011 6th round pick (est. value 22 pts)
(1760 total est. pts)
That gives us 4 second round picks and 7 in the first 82...
...would you do it?
