As I was doing research to familiarize myself even more with the compensatory process, I also found myself diving into the Steelers history of compensatory draft picks. It’s quite interesting to follow the chain of why the Steelers received a compensatory pick, along with how the Steelers had the player in the first place whom they lost. As I dove further and further down the rabbit hole, quite an interesting story began to take form. Rather than start at the end and work towards the beginning as I did in discovering the path that allowed certain players to be drafted, I will lay the story out to you all from the beginning.
