Has the talent. Any word on what we gave up?

probably a 6th or 7th round pick.
Low risk, maybe a high reward trade.

Steelers gave up a 6th round in 2018? Sounds good, but what's the rub with Gilbert? How many picks do the Browns have next draft?
Woohoo! 6th round pick in NEXT years draft. I like it.

The kid could not have a better opportunity to reclaim his career. He is probably one of the luckiest layers in the NFL this week. Talk about feast or famine.
All Defense!

The Steelers, on the other hand, had planned to select cornerback Justin Gilbert (No. 8, Browns) or LSU wide receiver Odell Beckham (No. 12, Giants). Once those players were gone, general manager Kevin Colbert said it was "an easy evaluation" to switch gears and grab the best player on their board.
love it. low risk very high reward. dreams of the bettis trade dancin in my head.
It's official..
What a F'ing disgrace this team has become. Tomlin is a PURE Gangsta Lover...plain & simple. Gilbert is nothing more then one of the scumbags who are killing each other on a daily basis in Chicago....nothing more. To give up ANYTHING for this guy is stupid. Let alone the 6th rounder that we did give the Browns.
Might as well change our name to the Pittsburgh " Crips " Cause that's what we basically are!!
This comment is pure stupidity. I mean DHB was signed outright, not traded. And DHB actually had good productive seasons before signing here...as where Gilbert has been a complete Bust! And DHB has never been anything but a good productive citizen. As where Gilbert has had MANY off the field incidents. So please...take your foot out of your mouth before commenting.

" Suck a ****! ( Seriously ) "
A 2018 6th round pick is essentially nothing.
Really.
The algorithm is that for every year in the future, you take away a round. Two years away is essentially equivalent to a rookie free agent. STEAL.
DHB & Gilbert were both 1st round picks, traded or signed makes no difference to me. I think Hue saw talent in Gilbert that didn't fit in Cleveland and wanted to give him a chance where he could have success, even against a division rival. Speaks highly of Hue and the Steelers. Incidentally, you should know what shoe mouth tastes like.
