SCB Steelers Quick Hitters: The “Desperation” Edition

Good Wednesday to you Steelers’ fans.

Late last evening (depending upon where you live) the Steelers traded a fifth round draft pick for Seattle tight end Nick Vannett. This is yet another move by the Steelers’ organization in recent weeks that signals a massive shift in how they’ve done business in the past. While I totally understood the move to get Minkah Fitzpatrick (proven player, team friendly contract) I’m not quite as sold on this one. OK, the Steelers needed tight end depth. We’ve been saying this since the spring, but I have concerns here. Vannett is scheduled to be a free agent at the end of this year.
