Pittsburgh Steelers Win
Summary: Pittsburgh acquired veteran pass rusher Preston Smith from Green Bay for a seventh-round pick. Smith provided experienced edge depth for Pittsburgh's defensive line. Analysis: Preston Smith, a veteran with double-digit sack seasons on his resume, came at the cost of a seventh-round pick — minimal draft capital for a legitimate edge presence. Even in a depth role, Smith's experience and pass-rush knowledge justify the cost. Original "Green Bay Packers Win" overstates Green Bay's gain (a late seventh) versus Pittsburgh receiving a veteran contributor. Upgrading to slight Steelers edge.
