If you are hoping that the Pittsburgh Steelers will trade down in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, consider this my annual reminder that you should temper those hopes between now and the first night of the draft. Why? Because the Steelers just haven’t done a lot of first-round trading back dating back to 2000, the first year in Pittsburgh for general manager Kevin Colbert with the team.
Over the span of 21 drafts that Colbert has overseen since 2000, he has made quite a few trades during actual drafts. That said, only three times has Colbert moved up in the first round of a draft during the annual event.
