Every NFL Team's Worst Trade of the Last Ten Years (Bleacher Report)

"The Steelers dealt their second-round pick, along with a 2020 third-rounder, to move up 10 spots and take Bush.

While the Michigan product was widely considered the second-best off-ball linebacker in the 2019 class—behind Devin White—he was still an undersized (5'11", 235 lbs) defender at what isn't considered a premium position.

Bush racked up 109 tackles as a rookie but was also credited with an alarming 14 missed tackles that season. He suffered a torn ACL in his second season and was out of Pittsburgh after only four years.

To be fair, this deal is only bad because of the player Pittsburgh picked. We probably wouldn't be criticizing the Steelers had they drafted Rashan Gary, Chris Lindstrom, Brian Burns, Dexter Lawrence or Jeffery Simmons—all Pro Bowlers drafted between No. 10 and No. 20—instead."

Really, not too bad in light of some of the deals others have made. Though the author also admonishes the Jets for the Rodgers trade, noting poor play and a broken locker room as part of the return he provided. So the guy we're still idly waiting for to replace Wilson, who was named Denver's worst move of the decade.

Damn. I forgot they passed on Dexter Lawrence. Ouch.

70 years ago almost to the day, (May 1955) we took Robert Clemente from the Brooklyn Dodgers because they wanted to protect a Major League roster spot for someone else. So Roberto Clemente for a roster spot is kinda a lopsided trade.
