Summary: Pittsburgh acquired 2024 6th round pick (178th overall, Logan Lee) and Donte Jackson from Carolina Panthers for Diontae Johnson and 2024 7th round pick (240th overall, Michael Barrett). Analysis: The available record points to a balanced exchange rather than a clear steal. Pittsburgh addressed its roster or draft-board preference, while Carolina Panthers received comparable value in return.
Summary: Pittsburgh moved on from disruptive receiver Antonio Brown, receiving a third-round pick and a fifth in return from Oakland. The third-round pick became Diontae Johnson, who developed into a productive starter. Analysis: Diontae Johnson (#66) became a legitimate starter and chain-mover for Pittsburgh, ultimately a 1,000-yard receiver in multiple seasons. The fifth-round pick (Zach Gentry) contributed as a backup tight end. Oakland overpaid given Antonio Brown's deteriorating off-field situation — he was released before playing a single game for the Raiders. Pittsburgh exited a toxic situation and still got genuine on-field value. B+ is appropriate.
