Pittsburgh Steelers General Manager Kevin Colbert was exalted for getting a third-round pick out of the Oakland Raiders for Martavis Bryant in 2017. People had a much different initial reaction to his haul of a third-round pick in addition to a fifth-rounder in exchange for Antonio Brown earlier this year, although as time goes on, more and more people are seeing that compensation as reasonable based on the wide receiver’s demands and behavior.
The first trade didn’t do much for Oakland, and given that the Steelers used that pick on a potential future at quarterback, the results are probably going to be out for a while on their end.
