In this edition of As the Draft Turns, the Pittsburgh Steelers see the return of a long-lost future draft pick, only to have to hastily say goodbye once again, just a day later.
Within the past 13 months, the Steelers’ 2018 sixth-round draft pick has now been dealt not once, not twice, but in fact three times, with Pittsburgh twice being the one trading it away. So I thought it would be interesting to trace its migration pattern and how everything has worked out in its wake.
Last during, during the late stages of the preseason, the Steelers needed depth at the cornerback position, and had long coveted cornerback Justin Gilbert, a top-10 pick of the Cleveland Browns a few years ago.
