A brief Steelers history of 2nd & 3rd Round NFL Draft trades

The draft is always more exciting when teams are wheeling & dealing, moving up and down the board. It makes for better TV. However, Omar Khan & Mike Tomlin should be cautious about trading up OR down in rounds 2 & 3. The results have been very hit & miss. Let’s take a look back at some of the moves the Pittsburgh Steelers have made in these rounds over the years.

1996

Traded: pick 59 (2nd) & 1997’s pick 121 (4th) to Rams

Received:Jerome Bettis and pick 72 (3rd). Drafted Steve Conley

Hindsight: Bettis is a HOFer; nuff said.
