Considering the need, the Arizona Cardinals’ draft-day trade to move up five slots and select quarterback Josh Rosen looked good on their part.

But before the first day of the 2018 NFL Draft was even over, it became clear that Arizona’s outgoing package wasn’t anything to laugh at.

In jumping from 15th to 10th in the 2018 NFL Draft, general manager Steve Keim traded the 15th pick, the 79th overall pick and the 152nd overall selection to the Oakland Raiders. The 79th pick, a third-round selection, was then dealt by Oakland to the Pittsburgh Steelers for wide receiver Martavis Bryant.

Bryant, who spent the 2017 season involved in trade rumors, has been a big-play wideout in Pittsburgh after the team selected him in the fourth round of the 2014 draft. He’s not recorded less than 549 yards in his first three season — he missed 2016 after failing the NFL’s illegal substance policies.

Last year, Bryant caught 50 balls for 603 yards and three touchdowns.

Bryant joins a Raiders receiving group led by Amari Cooper.
