As mock drafts yield to reality tonight, two things we could reasonably assume regarding the Steelers:
They likely will not trade, and whoever they draft, they likely will get it right.
General manager Kevin Colbert said Monday they were not likely to move up in the first round of the draft, but kept his options open for moving down from No. 25 tonight. The Steelers have not made a move either way in the first round in 10 years, since they climbed seven spots to No. 25 in 2006 to draft Santonio Holmes.
They also have made the fewest trades of any NFL team during the draft in the past five years, doing it twice — in 2012 to move up in the fourth round (Alameda Ta’amu) and in 2013 to acquire an extra fourth-round pick (Shamarko Thomas).
