Every year there is a debate over whether the Pittsburgh Steelers should make a move, up or down, in the first round of the draft. Just last year, they moved up three spots to secure Broderick Jones. Prior to that, they traded up 10 spots in 2019 for Devin Bush and traded away their 2020 first-round pick altogether to acquire Minkah Fitzpatrick from the Miami Dolphins. The frequency of these trades has increased over the last five years, but it hasn’t always been that way.
The last first-round trade prior to those was in 2006 when the Steelers moved up to select WR Santonio Holmes.
