The months upon months of speculation have finally come to a close as the Pittsburgh Steelers were awarded one fourth-round compensatory draft pick based on 2021 free agency. This according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter:
Officially the 138th pick in the draft, the Steelers will now have seven picks in the 2022 draft. The Steelers first three selections will all be their regularly awarded picks while the three of the final four will be as a result of the compensatory process or trade. The Steelers traded away their fourth-round pick in last year’s draft to the Miami Dolphins in order to pick Isaiahh Loudermilk in the fifth round.
