The Pittsburgh Steelers made headlines a few days ago when they announced that they had received corner Jalen Ramsey, tight end Jonnu Smith, and a 2027 seventh-round draft pick from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and a 2027 fifth-round pick.
While forking over Fitzpatrick and a fifth-rounder was surely a steep price, I — a diehard Steelers fan — don’t have any real problem with the deal. Ramsey is still an elite corner on his day, and Jonnu Smith is an incredibly talented TE coming off a really good season. At the very least, it wasn’t nearly as egregious as what the Boston Red Sox gave up for Rafael Devers.
