From cutdown day through a little over a week into the regular season, the Pittsburgh Steelers were able to acquire draft capital for two players whom they viewed as expendable, at least for the right price.
In parting with a 2021 seventh-round pick, they got back a sixth-round pick in that same year in exchange for Jerald Hawkins, an offensive lineman who was not going to make the roster and was in the final year of his rookie contract. That they were able to get anything for him, knowing that he was in their plans, was an easy win.
