Steelers get fourth-round compensatory pick

The NFL released the list of compensatory draft picks it has awarded for the 2022 draft and, as expected, the Steelers received an additional selection at the end of the fourth round.

The Steelers were awarded the 138th pick in the draft, which will be held April 28 through 30 for the loss of outside linebacker Bud Dupree in the offseason.

Dupree, a former first-round draft pick, signed a five-year, $82-million contract as a free agent with the Titans last season, which typically would have qualified the Steelers to receive a third-round pick in return.
