re: Emmanuel Sanders signs offer sheet (Unconfirmed report)
Technically, though, that's not quite the right question to ask; the more appropriate question is, "Is there any player at any position that would offer more benefit at that pick in the draft?"
The answer might still well be "no," but I believe the latter is the question BB asks.
Former Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli called Sanders (5-11, 180) one of the underrated talents on the free-agent market and superior to any pass-catcher the Patriots could acquire in the third round of the draft. The Steelers are tight to the salary cap, so if the Patriots truly are interested it might not be too hard to craft an offer that is acceptable to Sanders and at the same time tough for the Steelers to match.
