The Pittsburgh Steelers under previous General Manager (GM) Kevin Colbert didn’t like to make trades in the early portions of the draft. This would be trading either way, up or back. During the Colbert era, he only traded back one time in the first round, and that was in 2001 where the team ended up taking Casey Hampton out of the University of Texas.
While they’ve traded up a few times, most recently was the 2019 trade with the Denver Broncos to select Devin Bush out of the University of Michigan, it has left a sour taste in many Steelers fans’ mouths about moving up in a big way.
