Summary: Pittsburgh traded Minkah Fitzpatrick to Miami along with a seventh-round pick, receiving Jalen Ramsey, Jonnu Smith, and a seventh in return. Fitzpatrick had requested a release; Ramsey is a former All-Pro cornerback. Analysis: Pittsburgh restructured an exit situation into useful contributors. Ramsey, though past his peak, brought legitimate press-man experience, and Jonnu Smith provides a receiving tight end option. Miami absorbed Fitzpatrick's contract while Pittsburgh refreshed two roster spots. Given that Fitzpatrick was essentially a departing asset, extracting two contributors plus picks is an above-average outcome. Slight upgrade from "Miami Dolphins Lean" to slight Pittsburgh edge.
Summary: Pittsburgh acquired All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick from Miami mid-season in exchange for a first-round pick and two other picks. Fitzpatrick transformed Pittsburgh's secondary and made multiple Pro Bowls. Analysis: Fitzpatrick was arguably the NFL's best safety in 2019 and continued to be one of Pittsburgh's most impactful defenders for years. Miami's #18 pick became Austin Jackson, who contributed modestly. The 2020 fifth and 2021 sixth added minimal value for Miami. Pittsburgh essentially acquired a perennial All-Pro for the equivalent of a single first-round pick in a weak draft class — outstanding value. Upgrading from A- to A.
