What happened: ESPN's Bill Barnwell named six Pittsburgh Steelers players he says would command at least a first-round pick in a hypothetical trade: Keeanu Benton, Troy Fautanu, Zach Frazier, Derrick Harmon, Nick Herbig and Joey Porter Jr. Barnwell singled out Fautanu's move to left tackle and Porter's standalone value at cornerback as the top price tags.

Why it matters: The list skips Nick Herbig, who already signed a four-year extension, alongside Porter and Benton, both of whom Pittsburgh is reportedly working to extend. DK Metcalf and T.J. Watt were left off, with Barnwell citing Metcalf's disappointing debut season after Pittsburgh sent a second-round pick to acquire him and Watt's age and dipping production on a deal north of $40 million a year.

What to watch: Extension talks for Porter Jr. and Benton remain the two names to watch as Pittsburgh looks to lock up its young core before value climbs further.
