Steelers took a Beating on Antonio Brown trade?
#1
At least the AP writers seem to think so, calling the players the Steelers chose "Hugely Disappointing".

Quote:When the Pittsburgh Steelers dealt Antonio Brown to the Oakland Raiders, the haul looked underwhelming - very underwhelming. But an optimist might have provided the following response: "let's wait until we see what kind of players the Steelers can get with those picks."
Well, we finally got a look, with the Steelers making their selections from the trade in the 2019 NFL Draft. They selected Toledo receiver Diontae Johnson in the third round and Michigan tight end Zach Gentry in the fifth round. Those optimists have probably gone quiet.
With Brown ripped the Steelers, Ben Roethlisberger and others before getting dealt from Pittsburgh, he made it almost impossible for the Steelers to get a decent haul. His Twitter tantrums killed the Steelers trade leverage to the point where their return in picks was ugly - and it looks no better after those picks turned into players.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
