More than one moronic Pittsburgh sport talk show host is still arguing that you have to wait to see where the Steelers would end up picking in the first round to determine if it was a good trade or not. Like that draft pick, if it’s higher than 11 or wherever Fitzpatrick was selected, will come with a guarantee to produce a better player than him. That’s just idiotic.
Hold on here though, Trog. I have it on very good authority that picks in the top-12 NEVER bust. Indeed, they inevitably wind up having extremely good/multiple Pro-Bowl careers. Just ask Solomon Thomas, John Ross, Mike Williams, Leonard Floyd, Eli Apple, Vernon Heargraves, Donta Fowler, Kevin White, Trae Waynes, Danny Shelton, Blake Bortles, Sammy Watkins, Justin Gilbert, Dion Jordan, Barkevious Mingo, Jonathan Cooper, Tavon Austin, Dee Milliner, Chance Warmack, D.J. Hayden, Trent Richardson, Justin Blackmon, Morris Claiborne, Ryan Tannehill, or ... Mark Barron.
God, I cringe at the thought of the Steelers getting a superior safety, an awesome football player, a guy who reads and intercepts like nobody since Polomalu, but in the process losing the next Justin Gilbert or Barkevious Mingo.
