Deal for Steelers: One of the Steelers’ main objectives in this draft was to draft a cornerback to replace Bryant McFadden, who left to Arizona in the 2009 offseason. However, why not just reacquire McFadden, who struggled in Arizona, but is a perfect fit for the Steelers’ scheme, especially when the price is moving down from the 5th to the 6th.
Grade: A
Deal for Cardinals: I know McFadden struggled in Arizona’s scheme last year, but the Cardinals just handed the Steelers a starting caliber player for the right to move up for the 6th to the 5th. Most of these 5th rounders won’t even be on the roster in a few years.
Grade: C-
