The Pittsburgh Steelers made a big trade this season to bring safety Minkah Fitzpatrick over from the Miami Dolphins. It cost the Steelers their first-round pick in 2020. We have no idea what that pick will be but sitting at 1-4 we can speculate the pick is going to be pretty good.
NFL draft writer Josh Edwards of CBS Sports put out a new mock draft and in it, he has the Dolphins with the No. 5 overall pick from the Steelers. And he had an interesting commentary about the draft slot and the Steelers.
If Miami picks in the top-5, the Steelers lost this trade. Minkah Fitzpatrick is a great player but he is already two years into his rookie deal. The Dolphins need offensive line help in the worst way.
This is an interesting way to look at it. Looking at the players available with this pick there are some interesting names. LSU safety Grant Delpit is a name that immediately comes to mind. He’s a player very similar to Fitzpatrick. I am in no way agreeing with the author but it will be interesting to see how things play out.
