Don’t expect the Steelers to trade up from the 15th overall pick in the NFL
draft.
Steelers General Manager Kevin Colbert said today at the league meeting that
with the available talent in this draft, trading down makes a lot more
sense than trading up. Unfortunately for Colbert, he thinks the rest of the
league feels the same way, which means that teams looking to pick up extra
picks by trading down won’t find many takers.
“It makes more sense in this draft than trading up,” Colbert said of
trading down, via Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “I’m sure
everyone shares the same thought.”
All it takes is one team to fall in love with a player, however, for the
possibility of trading up to materialize. If some team that isn’t near the
top of the draft decides that it has to have Teddy Bridgewater or Blake
Bortles or Johnny Manziel or Jadeveon Clowney or Greg Robinson or Sammy
Watkins or Khalil Mack, a team with a high pick will have the opportunity to
trade down.
But Colbert seems to think the strength of this draft is in its depth, not
in the elite players at the top. Which means accumulating more picks is the
key to putting together a strong draft, and trading down is better than
trading up. |
