Kevin Colbert’s Best Trades: Minkah Fitzpatrick

We’re continuing our series on Kevin Colbert’s best and worst trades with one that may have been his boldest and also may have been his best. When Minkah Fitzpatrick requested a trade out of Miami, the Steelers had interest in the second-year DB but with Ben Roethlisberger going down with a season-ending injury during Week 2 of the 2019 season, it didn’t seem prudent for Pittsburgh to meet the Dolphins’ asking price. Colbert went ahead anyway and got his guy, trading a first-round pick in 2020, a fifth-round pick in 2020 and a 2021 sixth-round pick for Fitzpatrick, a 2020 fourth-round pick and a 2021 seventh-round pick.
