The National Football League awarded their compensatory picks a tad earlier than thought this year and the Pittsburgh Steelers couldn’t be happier.
The Steelers were awarded a third round comp pick, the 105th selection overall, and it comes as quite a surprise. Common thought was that the team could get a fifth or sixth based only on losing Kelvin Beachum in free agency last year.
With Beachum was cut recently, turning his 5 year, 45 million deal into a 1 year, $5 million dollar deal, the chances of a third round comp pick seemed even more remote.
