Steelers essentially swap Antonio Brown for WR Diontae Johnson and TE Zach Gentry

With the selection of Zach Gentry in the fifth-round on Saturday, the Pittsburgh Steelers have finally used the second of the two picks they received from the Oakland Raiders as part of the trade of Antonio Brown earlier in the year. A deal that effectively turned out to be a swap of the best wide receiver in the NFL for a Diontae Johnson and giant of a tight end from Michigan.

For those who feel the Steelers gave their star receiver away on the cheap, the real value of the trade will now be determined by how productive these two young prospects prove to be.
