Comments on: Steelers, Ravens Trade for a pair of left tackles http://www.footballperspective.com/steelers-ravens-trade-for-a-pair-of-left-tackles/ NFL History and Stats Tue, 08 Oct 2013 12:20:57 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: bengt http://www.footballperspective.com/steelers-ravens-trade-for-a-pair-of-left-tackles/#comment-48528 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 12:20:57 +0000 http://www.footballperspective.com/?p=14284#comment-48528 And that begs the question, why are the 0-4 Steelers trading draft picks to rent a bad player?
The Steelers expect to receive a lot of compensatory picks in 2014, a third rounder for Mike Wallace among them. Also, LG Ramon Foster had to leave the Vikings game (I think with a rotator cuff injury), and Kelvin Beachum was the only viable second-team OLiner and the first reserve for all five positions.

Monroe and Brown will become the 20th and 21st offensive linemen since the merger to start for two different teams in the same season.

That’s a crazy stat. Just shows how rare in-season trades of useful NFL talent are.
