We are continuing our series looking at Kevin Colbert’s best and worst trades as the Pittsburgh Steelers general manager. In 2016 in an intra-division trade, the Steelers sent a 2018 sixth-round draft pick to the Cleveland Browns for CB Justin Gilbert. After being selected eighth overall in the 2014 NFL Draft, Gilbert was a bust through his first two seasons in the league.

He was also praised for his long arms which helped him in press coverage, and paired with his speed looked to be a potentially dangerous asset.
