A Draft Day Trade Scenario That Makes a Lot of Sense for the Steelers

As the Steelers look towards the draft at the end of this week, I imagine they’re not real thrilled at the fact that they will not have their original 5th and 6th round selections; having traded them away for Brandon Boykin and Josh Scobee last off-season.

Kevin Colbert has been the Steelers’ main draft decision maker now since 2000, and while he doesn’t move around in the 1st round a ton, he’s shown he’s not afraid to make a move, and he’s made great decisions when he does make a move.

  • 2001 – Traded down from 16 to 19 to select Casey Hampton, gaining a 4th and 6th in return.
