Before I even begin, I want to start by saying that the Pittsburgh Steelers made the right move by trading for Minkah Fitzpatrick. Though I knew it would be incredibly difficult to really make a playoff run last year without Ben Roethlisberger, Minkah has proven to be an All-Pro player and one of the most valuable defensive chess pieces in the NFL.
Having said that, allow me to play devil’s advocate for a moment and consider the possibilities had Pittsburgh not dealt their first-round pick to Miami a season ago. If the deal for Fitzpatrick wasn’t made last season, could the Steelers have landed a franchise quarterback in the draft?
