So that was a disaster. You know exactly what I’m talking about. The Steelers lost maybe the best wideout in the league and one of the best right tackles. In return, they got a few mediocre draft picks. They can turn that into more though.
How did we get here? As far as Gilbert is concerned, he was old and injury prone. So the Steelers got a sixth-round pick from Arizona for him. As far as Brown, he is older of course, but he still should have brought in a low first-round pick or a high second. Unfortunately for the Steelers, however, Brown tanked his trade value by showing what an off the field liability he is.
