Team Chip Kelly still playing under the notion "No one player is safe in Philly" sends Defensive Back Brandon Boykin to West P.A. and the Black and Yellow for a conditional 5th round pick. Tell me this the how does the Eagles best #1 Island in 2014 get traded to a team that also needs a DB that can step right in and do major damage.

The Black and Yellow 2015 Pick Senquez Golson is still having issues with his shoulder but how much can you trust him from day one. William Gay is the #1 listed DB on the Depth Chart as Cortez Allen is a Rubix Cube until I see different.

Boykin in the last year of his deal will make a cap friendly $1.54 million and the Steelers are getting a steal as Eagles lead man Chip Kelly my trade Eagles Owner Jeffrey Lurie any day now...or try to!

Checking out the Steelers newest Acquisition 2014 Digits and the Black and Yellow's 2015 Depth Chart on the back end (Boykin's Twitter a few hours ago..it doesn't take long):

360 Degrees...If anything there is a who knows factor as that back end from the start might be as good or solid as that front 7 and that front 7 is loaded with an influx of youth and athleticism. Watch Doran Grant from Ohio State a 4th round pick in 2015 as he is super-versatile and can play. Golson Reps are hindered by his injury and I expect him to come back playing behind a few folks.

Holliman another 2015 draft pick was the 2014 Jim Thorpe Award Winner given to the best College DB...stay tuned! Vet Will Allen is the best insurance on the back end for the Steelers as he spells both Mitchell and Thomas and is one helluva leader in that group.

Let's go Steelers...
