That’s a terrible trade for the Steelers

They could have just traded away a top 10 pick! Wow.

I think I’d rather mortgage our future picks on P. Peterson anyway. Those rumors are bound to resurface soon.

I think the value is fair from the Steelers side, but the timing is questionable.

if they still had Roethlisberger... I'd think this would be a good move

but now... just after losing Roethlisberger... this is a mistake in my book

the Steelers aren't going to be very good this season... they're going to be a top of the draft team

I've been anti quarterback for the last few drafts but I think this is the year we go balls out for a good one

this seems like a dumb frickin trade.

The Steelers are 0-2 with Mason Rudolph at QB. 7-9 would be a good season at this point. Why give away a top 15, possibly top 10 pick?

Fitzpatrick may be a good safety, but damn. Is he really going to move the needle enough to warrant not getting a first round QB this year.

Big Ben will be 38 next year and coming off elbow surgery.

Lattimore definitely won’t get a big contract

They have Fitzpatrick on a rookie salary through 2022. Yea you lose the year that he played but at least you know you're getting a boom and not a bust

They obviously like what they see from Rudolph

Would be too good to be true if Miami passes on a surefire hall of famer once again, and the saints get Joe Burrow with the 2nd pick.

2nd pick

even without Brees, we aren't worse than the Giants or Jets. And Brees is only missing 6 weeks or so.

Strange trade for an 0-2 team who just lost their QB.

Very questionable trade. Pick up an ok player for a high first round pick.

Odd.

Maybe they planned on going CB in the 1st and determined that Fitzpatrick was better than any option they could have gotten. Sometimes they think these trades through
