NFL Trade Verdict

Even Trade

Summary: Pittsburgh acquired 1948 sixth round pick (#45-Phil O'Reilly) from Arizona/St. Louis Cardinals for undisclosed compensation. Analysis: The available record points to a balanced exchange rather than a clear steal. Pittsburgh addressed its roster or draft-board preference, while Arizona/St. Louis Cardinals 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.
