One transaction that has so far been a smashing success was one of the team’s most recent. Pittsburgh sent its 2020 first-round draft pick to the Miami Dolphins in September in exchange for Minkah Fitzpatrick, the second-year safety 18 games into his career since being selected with the 11th pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.
