Jason Simmons

Summary: Pittsburgh acquired 1998 5th round pick (137th overall, Jason Simmons) from Atlanta Falcons for 1998 7th round pick (199th overall, Ephraim Salaam), 1998 7th round pick (203rd overall, Henry Slay) and 1998 7th round pick (215th overall subsequently traded, Ryan Thelwell). Analysis: The available record points to a balanced exchange rather than a clear steal. Pittsburgh addressed its roster or draft-board preference, while Atlanta Falcons received comparable value in return. The grade is deliberately conservative because part of the source record is incomplete, conditional, approximate, or still too recent for a firm historical verdict.
