Have the Steelers traded better since Tomlin's tenure?

[Coach]

We've got what looks like is a first string Tight End, a starting Corner back, and a much better 3rd Safety, and traded away two players we were going to cut in Cockrell and Coates!

Bravo Mr. Colbert.

Now we have a Tight End capable of getting deep and splitting the seam. McDonald could do some damage as the opposing defense will be focusing on Bell, Brown, and Bryant.

Suddenly we have a much better Corner back, capable of playing man to man coverage and making lots of plays on the ball. Prior to Haden arriving, Burns, was the only decent man to man coverage player we had. Now we can play more man instead of the soft zone that get's picked apart like the Thanksgiving turkey by the better passing teams.

And finally, Golden just wasn't good enough to be the next man up at safety. Obtaining Wilcox gives much-needed depth and also helps with special teams kick coverage.

Coming into the season, the weak spots were the starting Tight End a starting Corner back and depth at Safety. Not anymore!

Haden wasn't a trade though.

The FO did well making some moves last week. Now its time for the players to execute and win games.

Quality ILB depth is still and issue. With Shazier getting hurt a lot I would have liked to see some good depth. Hodges is available, and I would dump Stevie Johnson. The last week has been great though.

It's hard to say since they've never traded much.

No. They havent traded better. As stated, they don' t trade much. Haden might be damaged goods. The TE isnt much of an upgrade if you ask me.

Vance can fly and also block....Haden, even damaged, is better than any of our corners....

Uh...Golson was never in the picture for safety. He was a slot corner only....

Any of the TEs on the roster not named McDonald have multiple TD catches of 60 yds or more?? Then its an upgrade

Meant to say Golden. Neither should see the field on a Steeler defense. Golden's value is he's good on special teams.
