Trading for Minkah Fitzpatrick is all fun and games until the Steelers lose a 1st rd pick in ‘20

I have a question: Did Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert consult Pirates general manager Neal Huntington before deciding to pull the trigger on a trade, Monday night, that sent the team’s 2020 first-round pick (there are other picks involved, but nobody really cares about those right now) to the Dolphins in-exchange for safety/slot-corner/secondary savior Minkah Fitzpatrick?

I’m only asking because this is kind of what Huntington did in 2018 when he sent a boat-load of prospects to the Tampa Rays in-exchange for highly-coveted starting pitcher Chris Archer at the trade deadline. Don’t get me wrong, this move excited the fan base and showed that, for once, the Buccos were in it to win it.
