Pittsburgh traded picks No. 119 and No. 192 to Green Bay for…

Pittsburgh traded picks No. 119 and No. 192 to Green Bay for No. 112 and selected punter Daniel Sepulveda. The Packers selected Allen Barbre at No. 119 and linebacker Desmond Bishop at No. 192; Mason Crosby was Green Bay's separate pick No. 193, not part of this trade. Sepulveda was a useful Steelers punter when healthy, but Bishop became a championship-era starting linebacker, giving Green Bay the better return.

  • pick 2007 6th round pick (192nd overall, Desmond Bishop)

Trade Analysis

What the Correct Package Was

Pittsburgh moved up to pick No. 112 in the 2007 draft for punter Daniel Sepulveda. Green Bay received pick No. 119 and pick No. 192. The Packers selected Allen Barbre at No. 119 and linebacker Desmond Bishop at No. 192. Mason Crosby was selected one spot later, No. 193, with a separate Green Bay choice. Distinguishing those two sixth-round picks is essential to the trade's history.

What Pittsburgh Received

Sepulveda became Pittsburgh's punter immediately and showed a strong leg when healthy. He contributed across several seasons and was part of a championship-era roster, but knee injuries repeatedly interrupted his career and limited his long-term availability. For a fourth-round specialist acquired through a move-up, the Steelers received useful but incomplete value.

What Green Bay Received

Barbre's Packers tenure was limited, but Bishop became the key asset. He developed from special-teams and reserve work into a starting inside linebacker and played a meaningful role during Green Bay's Super Bowl XLV championship season. His rise gave the Packers a much stronger return than the older record suggested when it incorrectly attached Crosby to the deal.

Why This Trade Still Matters

The correction actually makes the historical comparison cleaner. Green Bay did not receive a future all-time kicker through this transaction, but it did receive a championship-caliber linebacker plus another offensive-line prospect. Pittsburgh received a capable punter whose injuries prevented greater longevity.

Final Verdict

Green Bay Packers Win. Green Bay earns a B+ for Bishop's development and championship contribution. Pittsburgh receives a B- because Sepulveda was useful when available. The Packers win without needing the incorrect Crosby connection.
