Will the Steelers try to get back into the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft?
The Steelers rarely trade high-level picks away for veteran players, but they’ve done it twice in the past decade. In 2019, they traded a first-round pick for S Minkah Fitzpatrick. More recently—literally, last month—they traded a second-round pick for WR DK Metcalf. Those moves spanned two different general managers, though Mike Tomlin as head coach is one common denominator.
When the Steelers traded for Fitzpatrick, they didn’t do anything to try to recoup or make up for the loss of their first-round pick.
