New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers

New York Jets Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Pittsburgh traded three selections to the Jets to move from No. 56 to No. 41 in the 1998 draft, using the higher pick on defensive lineman Jeremy Staat. Staat played only 31 NFL games and started twice. New York used the return on Dorian Boose, Kevin Williams and Eric Bateman. None became a star, but the Jets received more playable depth and three chances for a player who did not justify Pittsburgh’s move-up cost.

Assets Received

Pittsburgh Steelers
  • Pick 1998 2nd round pick (41st overall, Jeremy Staat)
New York Jets
  • Pick 1998 2nd round pick (56th overall, Dorian Boose)
  • Pick 1998 3rd round pick (87th overall, Kevin Williams)
  • Pick 1998 5th round pick (149th overall, Eric Bateman)
