It's been a rollercoaster beginning of the week for the .After falling to 0-2 on the season at the hands of the on Sunday, Pittsburgh learned that quarterback would need to . As Big Ben heads out the door and onto injured reserve, in comes safety , who with the .For Fitzpatrick, he's getting his wish to be after requesting a trade in the midst of their uninspiring 0- Jason Pinnock Jersey 2 start.With the deal now in the books, here are the grades for each team.Steelers receive: PIT FS #39 2020 fourth round pick, 2021 seventh round pickDolphins receive:2020 first round pick, 2020 fifth round pick, 2021 sixth round pickPittsburgh trade grade: B+There's a lot Conor McDermott Jersey to like about Minkah Fitzpatrick. He's just 22-years-old, a really versatile defensive back and has a great contract. He has a cap hit of just $1.08 million in 2019, $1.95 million in 2020 and $2.7 million in 2021. Pittsburgh's secondary also desperately needs someone who can work as a slot corner and it appears like Fitzpatrick has the tools to do just that. From a player acquisition standpoint, this is a solid (and much needed) match for the Steelers. The thing that doesn't get this trade up into the A-range is the injury to Bryce Hall Jersey Ben Roethlisberger and the compensation it took to get Fitzpatrick. The fact that he's out for the year opens up the po sibility for that 2020 first rounder to be pretty high, maybe in the range of some of the elite quarterbacks that are going to be available this spring. If proves he doesn't have what it takes to make it in the NFL, the Steelers may wish they had the ability to at least think of bringing in one of those elite prospects.That said, Roethlisberger did say in a on Monday that he is committed to the Steelers over the course of his contract. The question there Ahmad Gardner Jersey becomes what will he look like following this elbow surgery.That's the risk the Steelers are taking. They're getting a great player for the here and now and long-term in Fitzpatrick, while rolling the dice on what could be an interesting 2020 first rounder.As for the rest of the compensation from Pittsburgh's standpoint, that getting a 2020 fourth rounder is quite the coup along with Fitzpatrick.Miami trade grade: AThe Dolphins held out for a first rounder and they got it. Now, Miami is set up as good as any team for the 2020 NFL Draft, owning three first round selections. Of course, their own pick will likely be the highest of the bunch, but, because of that Big Ben injury, this Steelers first rounder could be high too. The fact that they also have Houston's first is just the cherry on top. As for letting Fitzpatrick go, it's tough to see talent like that walk out the door, but, if George Fant Jersey he doesn't want to be there, there's not much the Dolphins can do about it. They made the best of the situation for themselves as an organization.
