Do the Steelers have a cornerback worth pairing with Joey Porter Jr?
The Steelers’ answer to this question is, very obviously, yes. They traded WR Diontae Johnson in order to acquire Donte Jackson, with minor draft pick improvements. The draft capital exchange was so minimal that it was virtually a player-for-player trade. Unless they kick him inside, which is unlikely, Jackson is the starting cornerback across from Joey Porter Jr.
That hasn’t stopped many from questioning whether they actually have a sufficient option across from Porter, however. Among the beat writers, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette appears to be the most skeptical of Jackson.
