Kenny Pickett traded to Eagles

So Picket, a 4th, and a couple of 7ths for a third? 

That's a bit of an embarrassment for Pittsburgh but better to move on now. Fields would make sense for them as Wilson's backup if they didn't have to make a decision on his option before seeing him take a snap in practice.

Feels like literally everyone went into that draft knowing Pickett wasn’t a guy and certainly not a 1st round guy except the Steelers somehow lol

I remember the story being that their GM was retiring and wanted to make his final first round pick a QB.. plus he went to Pitt, I don't see any other reason for him being taken that highly

How is Malik Willis the one that survived all this? 

Willis may not survive long.  But if he does, the answer is because he was always a long term, high upside, low chance of return prospect.  Pickett was supposed to be NFL ready, and Ridder was definitely supposed to be closer than Willis.  Makes sense to wait longer to give up on Willis.

Apparently it is actually Kenny Pickett and a 4th in exchange for a 3rd and 2 7ths.

Don't really get this unless they plan on draft a QB or he became a problem behind the scenes. He's a decent cheap backup for the next two years. Russ is obviously the starter this year. Why give up the cheap depth?

If he went to any college besides Pittsburgh he'd be day 3.
