I see what you're saying, but I think it's still hindsight.
What if Switzer becomes a stud? What if Ward does? What if the draft pick becomes a diamond in the rough? What if he doesn't? What if the Steelers didn't care about such a trade when it was made during the draft? What if a Steelers pick worked out different and they didn't want such a trade now, in late August?
So I'd agree that this may be an interesting thought experiment now, sure. We're fans and we have the right to play those games. But I cant fault the FO for trading a player of redundancy for a player of redundancy at a weak position.
Not faulting in any significant way, but objectively, you want to win every trade, even the small ones.
