On Thursday night, the Miami Dolphins selected USC offensive tackle Austin Jackson with the No. 18 overall pick. Jackson is a solid offensive tackle, still a step behind the four offensive tackles taken ahead of him Why does this matter to the Pittsburgh Steelers?
Because this was the pick the Steelers traded to the Dolphins last season for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. In fairness, the Dolphins also got a fifth and sixth-round pick in the deal. However, based on what happened on Thursday night, it is simply more proof Pittsburgh won this trade.
Fitzpatrick came over to the Steelers after the second game of the season. All he did was turn into an All-Pro and completely change the dynamic of the Steelers defense as they became one of the elite units in the league.
