Summary

Nov. 6 – Ep. 32: On this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe Clark and Ross McCorkle dive into the trade deadline news starting with WR Mike Williams. We talk about the value he can add to the offense, whether the trade was too pricey, and why it is perfect for Russell Wilson's deep ball. For the second topic, we talk about the trade for OLB Preston Smith. While he won't play as much as Williams, he still provides valuable depth at an important position, so we talk about all of that and more. We offer up knee-jerk grades for these two moves. For the third topic, we discuss Mike Tomlin's injury updates from his Tuesday press conference, which could leave the team with remarkably good health entering the final stretch of the season. Thank you for joining us for this 24-minute episode, and we hope to see your thoughts in the comment section.

0:00.0	Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of The Depot Dive, and we apologize that we are a day late on our episode.
0:07.9	Yesterday, obviously, the trade deadline was a little busier than anticipated even.
0:12.5	I think we all expected at least one trade to take place with the wide receiver, and it did.
0:17.1	But two trades ended up taking place.
0:19.3	We will talk about all of that and more in today's episode.
0:22.6	I'm Ross McCorkle above me here on the screen.
0:24.7	As always, Joe Clark, my co-host.
0:27.5	Joe, have you come up for air yet after yesterday?
0:31.8	A little bit.
0:32.7	A little bit.
0:33.1	Definitely a busy day.
0:34.2	But an exciting day, it's always, you know, fun and interesting when the Steelers make a trade,
0:39.4	especially when one of them comes a little out of left field.
0:43.0	So a little bit, feeling a little bit better today.
0:46.3	But yeah, we'll dive right into it.
0:50.5	Yes, indeed.
0:51.6	And the first topic of the day, we're going to dive right in is the one that we've been talking about for months and months and months now. I think really the first kind of mention of Mike Williams was all the way back eight months ago. Towards the start of free agency, it was reported that he was going to visit the stealers uh he
1:12.9	never made it to that visit because he signed with the jets he went and visited them first and never made
1:17.6	it out of town and so this is a guy the steelers had their eye on this would have been after i believe
1:23.0	they yes this would have been after they signed russell wilson so kind of the the same idea of why they ended up trading for him now is true from what they were looking at him eight months ago.
1:33.9	And yes, they acquired Mike Williams, the wide receiver from the New York Jets for a fifth round draft pick.
1:39.8	We know that that fifth rounder is the lower of the two.
