The Steelers did not have to pay too much to move up from the No. 17 pick up to the No. 14 pick in last week's NFL Draft to take Broderick Jones.
It only cost Omar Khan and Co. an additional fourth-round selection -- pick No. 120 -- to swap with New England to take the Georgia offensive tackle, a move which, from the Steelers' perspective, was a no-brainer as it landed a franchise-caliber left tackle to block for 2022 franchise quarterback Kenny Pickett.
But, according to a report from The Washington Post, the Patriots' motive for trading was slightly different from just swapping first-round picks and gaining a fourth-rounder.
